The global level sensor market is
anticipated to reach USD 5.48 billion by 2025, according to a new report by
Grand View Research, Inc. The food industry has traditionally lagged behind
other industries in adopting new technologies. However, growing advancements in
computer technology, coupled with stringent regulations for improved food
quality and safety, have resulted in the rising need to automate manufacturing
processes, thereby leading to an increased demand for level sensors in the food
processing industry.
The
production and processing of food and beverages are governed by networks of law
codes, practices, regulations, and guidance to reduce the risk of delivering
potentially harmful products to consumers. In food processing industries, the
pressure and level measurement are required in the filter, tanks, and piping.
Pressure instruments include numerous applications, such as maintaining the
balance of silos, storage tanks, flavor systems, filling machines, mixing
processes, and pasteurization, among others.
Micro-Electro-Mechanical
Systems (MEMS), a part of non-contact type sensors, is expected to witness
considerable growth over the projected period. MEMS sensors are expected to
play a key role in the automotive safety and infotainment applications. The
need for higher accuracy, rapid data transmission, and self-test capabilities
are the key factors driving the demand for MEMS in automotive applications.
Nanotechnology-enabled
sensors are offering physical, chemical, and biological sensing features that
enable an increased level of detection specificity, portability, and
sensitivity for a wide range of safety and environmental measurements. The U.S.
National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) recognizes the considerable potential
for nanotechnology, which has triggered the development of portable devices
that can rapidly detect, quantify, and identify chemical and biological
substances.
NNI
has launched Nanotechnology Signature Initiatives (NSI) that is integrated with
NNI to explore the use of nanotechnology for the following:
· To
overcome technical barriers associated with conventional sensors,
nanotechnology and nanoscale materials are used to build more accurate,
sensitive, and adaptable sensors.
· New
sensors are being developed to detect engineered nanomaterials across their
lifecycles to assess their potential impact on health, environment, and safety.
Compliance
with regulations and standards in the food & beverage industry is the most
demanding challenge for measuring instruments and sensors. Product design must
comply with industry guidelines issued by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). Programmable measuring instruments and specialized accessories are
likely to drive the market demand over the forecast period.
