Sensors Market for Smartphones: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges
The increasing implementation of mobile ar applications by enterprises is notably driving the sensors market growth for smartphones, although factors such as design complexity may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the sensors industry for smartphones. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Sensors Market Driver for Smartphones
One of the key factors driving market growth in the sensors market for smartphones is the increasing implementation of mobile AR applications by enterprises. The marketing and advertising sector is one of the earliest adopters of augmented reality (AR) and is also one of the largest markets for mobile AR. Mobile AR advertising offers direct communication to the consumer by making the product appear more real and by ensuring a more user-friendly environment. The increasing use of AR technology by enterprises in the marketing and advertising sector has led to the integration of depth-sensing 3D cameras and sensors in smartphones by OEMs. Mobile devices, including smartphones, must possess certain features for the efficient functioning of AR. To capitalize on the increasing use of AR technology in the marketing and advertising sector, market participants such as Google and Apple are introducing AR apps for mobile devices. As a result, sophisticated sensors are increasingly being integrated into mobile devices for the superior functioning of AR apps.
Key Sensors Market Trend for Smartphones
The emergence of sensor fusion technology is a sensor market trend for smartphones that are expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. Sensor fusion technology enables smartphones to combine data from different sensors such as gyroscopes, compasses, and accelerometers to calculate elevation, linear translation, gravity, direction, and rotation. It is critical that different sensors can operate efficiently with each other. Sensor-fusion technology is also essential for this interoperability. In this aspect, the vendors in the market are continuously developing algorithm solutions that enable sensors to work more accurately with each other. Sensor fusion solutions are being deployed in smartphones and tablets for AR applications. Combining data from multiple sensors also eliminates most of the deficiencies of individual sensors to calculate the accurate position and orientation information. Thus, the deployment of sensor fusion enables smartphone manufacturers to deploy software to derive accurate results from different types of sensors integrated into their smartphones. Thus, the growth of the global sensors market for smartphones will be driven by the adoption of sensor fusion solutions.
Key Sensors Market Challenge for Smartphones
The design complexity will be a major market challenge for the sensors market for smartphones during the forecast period. Smartphone vendors in the market are integrating several sensors into their smartphones to provide additional features. Some of the features include fingerprint sensing and facial recognition. However, the use of a discrete or standalone sensor will require more board space, which will be detrimental to the miniaturization of devices. With rapid technological advances and the trend of miniaturization, the size of circuits and chips is decreasing continuously, even with a rise in the need for uncompromised performance. Sensor manufacturers need to upgrade their offerings constantly to suit customer requirements. Therefore, they need to invest significantly in procuring equipment to manufacture smart and intelligent sensor ICs. Rapid technological advances are leading to the design complexity of ICs. The increased design complexity makes it difficult for manufacturers to design sensor ICs such as MEMS sensors, ultimately leading to a delay in production and additional expenses
This sensors market for smartphones analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

- The market potential of smartphone sensors in Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE is high as industries are proactively implementing smart connected solutions and digital technologies. The increased demand for smartphones and smart city initiatives, as well as improvements in broadband services, are driving the adoption of smartphone sensors in the Middle East. Owing to a rise in the adoption of smartphones in this region, smartphone manufacturers are focusing on setting up more manufacturing plants. The above-mentioned initiatives will increase the partnerships with sensor manufacturers for the integration of advanced sensors, such as fingerprint sensors, to provide advanced functionalities in smartphones at reasonable prices. Further, the digitalization of transport infrastructure is a key enabler for the adoption of smartphone sensors in the Middle East. In addition, increased Internet penetration and the rapid development of mobile communications offer high opportunities for the sensors market for smartphones in Africa. For instance, as of 2021, the Internet penetration in this region was more than 70%. However, MEA will generate much lower demand than other regions, and the market in the region will grow at a slow pace during the forecast period due to the non-availability of the infrastructure required for high-speed Internet. Furthermore, many African countries are expected to show slower adoption during the forecast period due to the lack of infrastructure and connectivity.
- of skilled human resource: Test and measurement equipment such as tunable diode laser analyzer (TDLA), optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), and process analyzers are required to be used by an expert in chemical and instrumentation engineering. Many of these equipment are used in manufacturing or production process. The individuals using this equipment need to have an overall understanding of the process to operate the equipment efficiently. One of the major challenges to the market is the lack of skilled human resource in the market. In many instances, end-users are not really satisfied with the use of these test and measurement equipment if they were not properly installed, serviced or calibrated properly. This also deters potential buyers to invest in these test and measurement equipment.
