IoT is a network that is embedded with sensors, network connectivity, electronics and software enabling physical objects to collect and exchange the data. Sensors in IoTplay vital role for measuring the physical quality of objects and enumerate it into a value which is further read by another device or user. IoT devices are equipped with different sensors which are capable of registering changes in pressure, motion, temperature, light, and sound. In the physical world, a number of objects can now communicate with each other through embedded IoT sensors, and actuators.

Increasing usage of IoT sensor in the automotive sector and booming industrial IoT sensor are major factors which driving the growth of IoT sensor market. Further, rising demand of smart TV in consumer electronics sector is escalating the demand of IoT sensor market.  Increasing adoption of smartphones and related product are the impelling demand of IoT sensor market.
