Global Passive Infrared Motion Sensor Market 2016-2020

Outlook of the global PIR motion sensor market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global passive infrared (PIR) motion sensor market to grow at a steady CAGR of around 11% during the forecast period. The increasing military and defense expenditure of various countries is likely to drive the PIR motion sensor market during the predicted period. Since these sensors are primarily used for target discrimination, they can detect and localize moving targets. Many countries in South Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East have increased their military budget for R&D activities to develop more equipment and to upgrade their existing detecting and tracking technologies. This increase in the military spending is likely to create a demand for PIR sensors.

The recent increase in public construction projects is expected to drive market growth until the end of 2020. Recently, it has been observed that new construction projects like public buildings, private residences, office buildings, shopping complexes, and airports are installing systems such as automatic doors, escalators, and automatic taps, which deploy PIR motion sensors.  This increase in the construction of public buildings and office buildings, which require PIR motion sensors for the efficient functioning of escalators and automatic doors, will result in the augmented adoption of such sensors during the estimated period.
