Product Definition:
Capacitive Air Gap (GAP) Sensor is a device used to measure the distance between two electrodes. It is used to measure the air gap between two conductive objects. The capacitive air gap sensor is important because it can be used to determine the size of an object or its distance from a sensor.
Direct Acting Valve:
The direct acting valve is a device that controls the flow of liquid in an open system. It works by restricting the flow of liquids to areas where pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure. Direct acting valves are used in applications such as automobile fuel injection systems, chemical & petrochemical industries, and wind energy power generation among others.
The global capacitive air gap sensor market was valued at USD 1,37 billion in 2016.
Pilot-operated Valve:
Pilot-operated valve is a device that opens and closes to control the flow of fluid in an air gap. It is used in capacitive air gap sensors for monitoring the flow rate. The sensor consists of a diaphragm, which works as a valve, and an electrode on its other side.
Application Insights:
The others application segment includes food and beverage, water treatment, pulp and paper industry, mining sector. The chemical industry is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment over the forecast period owing to its rising demand for GAP sensors in flammable gas applications. These sensors are used in monitoring and controlling processes such as ventilation systems that require a high level of accuracy. They are also used in safety switches that control industrial robots during hazardous operations at elevated temperatures.
The oil & gas industry is expected to emerge as one of the prominent end users of these devices due to their rising use across upstream and downstream sectors including drilling mudsumps/ventsors flowmeters which require highly accurate gap measurements for process control purposes.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of the region can be attributed to increasing demand for smart buildings, growing adoption of wireless technologies, and presence of major industry players. Moreover, rising awareness regarding building energy management is expected to drive the regional market over the forecast period.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rapid industrialization and expansion of oil & gas sector in China and India on account of government support for promoting investments at home as well as overseas has resulted in increased demand for GAP sensors across various industries including oil & gas, petrochemicals, power generation etc., which will drive regional market growth over next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronics industry
- Growing trend of automation and smart technology
- Rising demand from automotive sector
- Proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Growing popularity of wearable devices
