Sensor Hub Market to Make Significant Progress as Smartphone Industry Thrives

Pune, India, May 2020, MRFR Press Release/- Market Research Future has published a Half-Cooked Research Report on the Global Sensor Hub Market.

Market Scope

Market Research Future (MRFR) projects the sensor hub market 2020 to advance to a size of USD 33.77 Billion by 2032. It is also expected that the market can progress at a rate of 20.9% between 2017 and 2023, which is the appraisal period. We will provide covid-19 impact analysis with the report, offering an in-depth review following the coronavirus disease outbreak.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Since the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak, multiple companies have had to encounter tough decisions, with respect to financial decisions as well as cost-cutting measures that can ensure continuous flow of operations. The lockdown situation has been the short term impact of the novel coronavirus, which has led to a weaker demand from the hyperscale cloud service and smartphone providers. The plummeting demand has had a domino effect in the semiconductor industry, with the falling prices and vendors pulling back their current fab plans. COVID-19 outbreak has also led to shutting down of operations, e-commerce and retail stores, resulting in supply chains collapsing and creating a bigger gap between the demand and supply ratio.

Keeping in mind the long-term impact of COVID-19, governments across the globe are doing everything they can by coming up with favorable initiatives and policies such as exceptions in tax, financial packages as well as lower interest rate. The work from home strategies, which are the prevalent norm among companies at present and the emerging trend of the BYOD policies, can also induce demand for connected devices, computers, laptops, and various storage solutions in the post pandemic era. While the countries are rushing to achieve a COVID-19 breakthrough, the demand for sensor hub is expected to surge rapidly in the following period.

Growth Inducers and Key Barriers

In April 2020, CEVA Inc., a renowned licensor of smart sensing and wireless connectivity technologies, launched SensPro, which is touted to be the first high performance sensor hub that can handle a vast range of sensor fusion and sensor processing workloads for diverse devices such as AR/VR headsets, automotive, voice assistants, robotics, smartphones, and more. This is one instance of the many product launches currently taking place in the sensor hub market, which not only helps the company survive but also thrive. Product launches and similar strategies such as agreements and collaborations help the company improve its revenue stream and induce market growth as well.

The sensors hub market can also be bolstered by the escalating need for low power generating solutions in wearable and mobile devices. The demand for low power using mobile devices is quite high that can function for longer period at faster rate without less battery drainage. For this, mobile manufacturers are increasingly embedding their mobile devices with sensor hubs, since they help gather sensor data without using the main processor and helps save the device’s battery life.

The persistent surge in the need for solutions such as sustainable and renewable solar, biofuel energy can also drive the expansion rate of the market in the following period. The rising adoption of different types of latest technologies among consumers and the increasing popularity of wearable devices could also result in revenue generating opportunities for market vendors during the appraisal period.
