Sensor Cable Market size is expected to reach USD 1500 Million by the end of 2035, growing at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period, i.e., 2023-2035. In the year 2022, the industry size of sensor cable was over USD 700 Million. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing development of smart cities. Traffic management is one of the most popular applications for sensor cables in smart cities. A traffic control system can manage traffic flow by adjusting traffic signals based on the presence and movement of vehicles and pedestrians detected by traffic sensors placed at strategic crossings. This can help to lessen traffic, increase safety, and give commuters more time. Further, the growing adoption of the hydraulic fracturing method and an increase in the use of pipelines in the building and oil and gas industries across the globe are also expected to add to the market growth. Over the coming years, it is anticipated that there will be an exponential increase in the number of smart cities, and by 2050, over 60% of the world's population would reside in such cities.
In addition to these, factors that are believed to fuel the market growth of sensor cable include the rise in advancements in medical technology. For instance, the need for sensor cables is anticipated to increase as medical technology gets more advanced. Further, sensors are necessary to gather data for sophisticated medical imaging procedures such as MRIs and CT scans. To send this information to the requisite monitoring systems and imaging tools, sensor cables are required.
