Tunnel Sensor Market Research Report - Global Forecast till 2030

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Tunnel Sensors Market

Tunnel sensors are devices mounted on tunnel ceilings, which help in monitoring the concentration of pollutants and maintain the air quality inside the tunnels. These sensors assist in the identification of gas hazards, further monitoring atmospheric temperature, humidity, and tunnel health. The increasing requirement for real-time monitoring and analysis of tunnel health is encouraging manufacturers to integrate innovative technologies into their sensors. China is a major supplier of tunnel sensors that are used in road and railway tunnels. The spread of COVID-19 from China has considerably impacted the tunnel sensors industry. The rapid spread of the pandemic has initiated lockdowns in several countries, leading to the closure of manufacturing plants and has disrupted the supply chains. The slowdown in the production of new electronic devices have severely impacted the growth of such industries and has thus hampered market growth.

Tunnel sensor manufacturers worldwide are focused on reducing operational costs for surviving in the market. The resumption in the manufacturing of tunnel sensors and related devices in the post-lockdown period is expected to drive the growth of the market. Government policies and support are expected to boost the demand for tunnel sensors over the forecast timeframe. Industry players adopting remote working policies to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at workplaces will positively influence the tunnel sensor market and assist in its recovery. Furthermore, the technology providers’ aid and support to their clients and their expertise in remote engineering services to gain industry foothold are likely to help in the market recovery. Thus, the demand for tunnel sensors and related products is expected to increase due to the rising adoption of advanced electronic products in new railway and roadway infrastructures that deliver higher operational efficiency along with environmental & human safety.
