Allied Market Research published a report
titled “Global Photonics Sensors Market (Type, Technology, Application and
Geography) - Size, Share, Global Trends, Company Profiles, Demand, Insights,
Analysis, Research, Report, Opportunities, Segmentation and Forecast, 2013 –
2020.” The report offers holistic and insightful market data on the global
photonics sensors market which would prove of immense help the market participants.
Research in the photonic science hasresulted in a tectonic shift of the global photonic sensor market. Fiber optics
sensors segment would witness a skyrocketing growth during the study period.
The main characteristic of fiber sensors are its sensing qualities such as
mechanical strain or temperature. They also measure pressure, acceleration,
displacements, rotations or concentrations of chemical class.
“There
is a growing demand for smart homes and buildings due to growing energy demands
and security concerns. Buildings can be built with integrated fiber optic
sensors to monitors the structures and to gain all the essential information on
the damage the buildings are subject to,” states AMR analyst.
The
key driving factor for the growth of fiber optic sensor is its application in
building that is commonly known as smart structures. “The use of fiber optic
sensors in smart structures provides efficient monitoring of environmental
alterations as compared to any other device. Fiber optic sensors find application
in various industries and domains,” adds AMR analyst.
The
market for fiber optics sensors is rapidly growing in North America due to the
growing trend of Smart Homes. Analyst states
“Commercial buildings, High-end housing, restaurants and hotels,
collectively account for a major consumer segment for smart homes thus
indirectly boosting fiber optic sensor market.”
