Virtual Sensors Market Research Report: By Component (Solution, Services),  Deployment Mode (Cloud, On-Premise), By End User (Electronics, Automotive & Transportation, Manufacturing & Utilities, Healthcare, Oil & Gas, Aerospace & Defense, Others), By Region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East, and Africa, South America) - Forecast till 2027

Virtual Sensors Market Overview

Virtual sensors are a software that, given the available information, estimates product properties or process conditions using mathematical models. These mathematical models use other physical sensor readings to calculate the estimated property or condition. The sensors learn to interpret the relationships between the different variables and observes readings from different instruments. Virtual sensors are useful in conditions where properties or states such as shelf aging time, humidity tests, tensile strength measures cannot be measured by physical sensors. They are also faster than physical sensors in providing information between readings.

Virtual Sensors Market is expected to register a CAGR of 33.5% during the review period, 2019–2025.

The data-driven businesses of today require real-time and accurate data for various decision-making processes. Virtual sensors offer a solution to such data-driven businesses through easy deployment and monitoring of assets from which data is required.

With several advantages like lower cost compared to physical sensors and easier integration with IoT and cloud platforms, the virtual sensor market is expected to have favorable growth prospects during the forecast period.
