- In recent years, China's sensor industry has grown rapidly, and the market demand is also constantly increasing, especially in the context of the Internet of Things becoming a major trend in China's development. Sensors have ushered in a development trend.
In the mature era of the Internet of Things, billions of sensors will be embedded into various devices in the real world, such as mobile terminals, smart devices, factory machines, buildings, etc. Ubiquitous sensors will collect and summarize data from all over the world, and arrange and allocate it according to the priority of system agreements. The primary issue with the Internet of Things is to overcome the barriers to information transmission between humans, machines, and the environment, allowing machines to autonomously perceive external information. Sensors can solve the communication problem between humans, machines, and the environment. In the architecture of the Internet of Things, sensors are located at the bottom layer of the entire IoT system, namely the perception layer, and are the core technology and foundation of the IoT. It is reported that as early as 2013, several countries proposed the "Trillion Sensor" plan, aiming to promote and improve the efficiency of the entire society through billions of sensors.
In fact, the core of the Internet of Things is various sensors, which are like the roots of this big tree, transmitting data to various branches as nutrients. Building the Internet of Things requires sensors to collect data and then transmit it to the cloud in the most cost-effective way through wireless technology.
Many countries around the world have proposed a trillion dollar sensor revolution, deploying sensors anywhere to form a sensor network. The core of the Internet of Things must be sensors, and the deployment of trillions of sensors must rely on low power consumption (or sensors with their own power supply function) and low cost. If such low-cost and wireless wave powered sensors can become popular, the architecture of the Internet of Things will undergo fundamental changes, and we look forward to the maturity of the technology entering the market as soon as possible.
On December 28, 2015, the "China Sensor and IoT Industry Development Strategy Seminar" was held in Beijing, focusing on the development trend of the global sensor and IoT industry. Aiming to implement national strategies such as the "National Integrated Circuit Industry Development Promotion Outline", "Made in China 2025", and "Guiding Opinions of the State Council on Actively Promoting the" Internet of Things+"Action", and promote the accelerated development of China's sensor and Internet of Things industry towards integration, innovation, ecology, and clustering. Huai Jinpeng analyzed the current development trend and main characteristics of the global sensor and IoT industry, and proposed the idea of building a sensor and IoT industry cluster in China based on the development concept of "one body, two wings". The attending representatives conducted in-depth discussions on conference topics such as the challenges faced by industrial development, strategic breakthroughs, key directions, and proposed measures.
With the expansion of the sensor market, flow sensors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors occupy market shares of 21%, 19%, and 14% respectively, which accelerates the development of sensors. The output value of China's sensor market has exceeded 120 billion yuan. With the continuous development of IoT technology, the output value of sensors will grow at a rate of 30% per year in the next five years. Under the opportunities of the Internet of Things, sensors have great development prospects. Among them, MEMS sensors will become star level products due to their advantages of small size, stable performance, and high sensitivity. In the future, the sensor market center will also shift towards MEMS sensors.
