Report

The North America Temperature Sensors Market size is estimated at USD 3.02 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 4.06 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.13% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Key Highlights
- The North America temperature sensors market is poised for substantial growth, with projected revenues and trends reflecting the increasing demand across various sectors. Industries such as aerospace, oil and gas, and mining, among others, are characterized by the harsh and complex operating environment and the adoption of a suitable sensor to withstand such external environment extremities and perform at the desired accuracy, reliability, precision, and repeatability are of crucial importance for these end-users.
- Rapid technological advancements in temperature monitoring have played a crucial role in the growth of wireless temperature sensors in the past few years. Multiple large-scale manufacturers have been focusing on implementing advanced concepts such as IR sensors and heat sensors. The usage of advanced concepts is further expected to open up significant potential for the market's growth in the coming years.
- With the increase in defense expenditure, wireless-type sensors have been an emerging technology area with multiple applications within the defense industry. Applications such as integrated vehicle health monitoring (IVHM) of defense and aerospace vehicles are primarily needed to ensure the crew's safety and the vehicle.
- At their essence, the sensor networks have been monitoring the physical characteristics of an environment and then translating those physical measurements to electrical impulses. The sensor networks primarily measure characteristics such as temperature, among others. In various cases, the network has been designed to sense the environment and act on the physical environment based on the sensed data.
- Further, fluctuations in the economy can impact capital expenditure in industries that rely heavily on temperature sensors, such as manufacturing and energy sectors. Economic downturns may lead to reduced investment in new technologies.
- The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed the integration of temperature sensors into public health measures, leading to a surge in the use of body surface temperature sensors for screening purposes. This shift was driven by the need for effective monitoring tools to manage health risks associated with the virus. Additionally, post-pandemic, there was a marked increase in demand for non-contact temperature sensors, which were implemented as part of strict government regulations aimed at enhancing safety protocols.


North America Temperature Sensors Market Trends

Infrared Temperature Sensors to Drive the Market Growth


- IR temperature sensor applications are found in various defense applications, such as optical target sighting and variable emissivity measurements, that are often helpful in tracking activities. However, all these applications are very advanced and have a continuous demand due to the increasing military spending.
- In recent years, even the top snack manufacturers like Frito-Lay North America, Inc, a popular division of Pepsi Co, have started a new range of products, baked than fried. Such trends and stringent food safety regulations worldwide are expected to soon create substantial market opportunities for IR temperature sensors.
- Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) has been a prominent vendor for such technology. FLIR technology has been used in ports, borders, airports, and other places to look for elevated body temperatures. The company has significantly increased those orders in the past few years.
- The list of countries using FLIR products for temperature screening continues to grow. It now includes China, Thailand, Taiwan, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea, Italy, and the U.S. The company stated that its supply chain is continuing to keep up with demand.
- Predictive maintenance is one of the functional uses of Infrared (IR) temperature sensors in the market; enterprises are increasingly focusing on predictive maintenance, automation, and IoT.
- Recently, Excelitas Technologies announced its latest CaliPile innovation, the high precision, medical grade TPiS 1T1386 L5.5H Thermopile sensor for remote skin-temperature measurement applications. Additionally, the CaliPile TPiS 1T1386 L5.5H's smart data processing allows the sensor to signalize fast temperature changes or over-temperature via in-interrupt output aside from the precision temperature measurement.


United States Holds Significant Market Share


- The United States holds a significant market share due to advancements across various industries. With the R&D of multiple types of temperature sensors being integrated into different products, the market for temperature sensors is set to grow at a healthy rate.
- For instance, automakers such as General Motors plan to launch 20 new electric vehicles by 2023. The Tesla Company also changed the face of the EV market segment in the country by introducing reliable and efficient electric vehicles.
- The United States's automotive industry, directly and indirectly, employs hundreds of thousands of Americans and invests billions of dollars. It was estimated that the automotive industry yearly spends around USD 105 billion on R&D worldwide, USD 18 billion of which is spent in the US to incorporate newer and more advanced sensors into automobiles.
- With the US Department of the Interior planning to allow offshore exploratory drilling in about 90% of the Outer Continental Shelf acreage under the National Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program (National OCS Program) for 2019-2024, the oil and gas sector in the region is expected to open up new opportunities to the market.
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, the market witnessed increased demand for temperature sensors at the workplace for temperature screening. For instance, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States and WHO (World Health Organization) recommended temperature checking at the workplace.
