Wireless sensor networks are distributed autonomous sensors used
to observe environmental or physical conditions. Sensors are an essential part
of several industries and various applications of sensors has augmented
economies of scale and their efficiency. This resulted in decreasing the prices
and also, encouraging adoption of sensor networks for various applications.
Industries worldwide are adopting sensor networks to monitor their various
processes. In addition, industrial wireless sensor networks (IWSN) are cost
effective and can be set up faster, benefits gained with the use of wireless
sensor networks has led to replacement of wired sensors. IWSN have shown major
return on investment (ROI) in industrial applications. Installation of IWSN
facilitates is resulted in saving labor costs, energy and materials. Also, IWSN
provides the ability to be assimilated to smartphones which helps in monitoring
processes by not travelling from one remote end to other, maintenance and data collection, saves time
and enhance productivity. IWSN are mostly used for hard-to-reach and hazardous
zones in various industries such as chemicals and mining.
North America dominates the global IWSN market and it is expected
to lead the market in the coming years. Whereas, Asia Pacific is the fastest
growing region in the market for IWSN due to increasing adoption of IWSN in
various industries. Yokogawa Electric Corporation, Schneider Electric S.A.,
VIAgents, Siemens AG, Texas Instruments, Tridium, Apprion, Inc., Digi
International, Inc., SynapSense Corporation, Dust Networks, Inc., Millennial
Net, Emerson Process Management, Lantronix, Inc., ABB Ltd., Freescale
Semiconductor, Inc. and Honeywell International, Inc. among others are some of
the chief markets players operating in the global IWSN market.
WSN is a part of industrial automation solution and is used for
various purposes such as periodic data collection and monitoring events. Demand
for automation solutions, growth trend of smart factories, increasing
connectivity between industrial processes and increased use of
machine-to-machine solutions are the factors driving the growth of global IWSN
market. Availability of miniaturized solutions, technological improvements in
wireless communication and enhancement in power efficiency are the other
factors responsible for growth of IWSN market. Increasing investments in smart
cities is anticipated to be a major opportunity for the industry players in the
global wireless sensor networks market. Concerns about the security of data in
networks is a concern in IWSN market and can hamper its growth.
The global IWSN market is
segmented on the basis of sensor into temperature sensor, pressure sensor, flow
sensors, image & surveillance sensor, chemical & gas sensors, level
sensors, motion & position sensor, humidity sensor and others. The global
IWSN market is further segmented on the basis of application as food &
beverages, oil & gas, power & energy, automotive, metal & mining,
pharmaceuticals, water & waste water and others. The global IWSN market is
