With the help of the information collected by the skin sensor, the robot can use the so-called touch to identify the surrounding situation and find the best activity route

in addition, sensors are also an indispensable part of building a smart city. With the help of sensors, the elevator will not start until someone takes it, which helps save energy. The small black box on the traffic light over there can send a signal to the receiver in the hands of the nearby blind people to remind them that they are approaching the intersection

rapid expansion of market scale

Smart Life connects various items in life, and the growth of IOT has become an indisputable fact. According to IDC's prediction, the scale of the global IOT market will increase from $5.4 trillion in 2013 to $7.3 trillion in 2017. The rise of a series of new lifestyles, such as smart homes and wearable devices, has brought golden opportunities for the sensor industry chain. Including MEMS sensors, as the core of upstream technology in the industrial chain, MEMS sensor systems originally used in automobiles and intelligence have begun to enter the field of wearable devices

according to the data of researchhandmarkets, the global market value of sensors for consumer electronics was US $15.27 billion in 2013, and will expand at a compound annual growth rate of 9.7%, reaching US $29.25 billion in 2020

the spread of such hot spots has footprints all over the world. In China, Ma Kai, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice premier of the State Council, pointed out at the national IOT work videoconference just concluded this week that we should strive to break through a number of core key technologies such as core chips and smart sensors in accordance with the principles of demand traction, key leaps, supporting development and leading the future

more and more technology giants have noticed the business opportunities. Finger printcards, a European fingerprint technology company, has developed a touch fingerprint sensor. Its CEO John karstrom once said that at least seven or eight manufacturers will launch smart machines with touch sensors in 2014. The company plans to reach cooperation agreements with most manufacturers

according to the data of Grandview, the global shipment of image sensors is expected to reach 3billion by 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 6.7% from 2014 to 2020. The value of this global market will reach 12billion US dollars in 2020, and the Asia Pacific region will become the fastest growing region. According to the research of marketsandmarkets, the market value of medical image sensors will be US $10.75 billion by 2018, with an average annual compound growth rate of 3.84%. The shipment volume in 2013 was 1.6 billion and will reach 3billion by 2018

as a senior person who founded seven sensor related risk enterprises, yanushbrizek, vice president of MEMS and sensor solutions Department of Fairchild Semiconductor Company, is called the father of sensors by many people. Last year, he and albertpisano, who led the sensor network pioneer Berkeley sensor and actuator center in the United States and is now dean of the University of California San Diego School of technology, decided to launch this idea

according to their plan, equipment and system related enterprises around the world will establish a society that uses 1trillion sensors every year. This is equivalent to the world's average annual consumption of 150 sensors per person, which is about 100 times the current demand. They envision that now things that have nothing to do with sensors can be equipped with sensors to realize a world in which everything can be connected with ICT, such as adding sensors that can dissolve automatically to tablets

at the beginning of this idea, there were 3.5 billion sensors in the world, while in 2007, this number was only 10million

according to Cisco data, by 2020, the number of goods connected to the Internet is expected to reach 50billion, accounting for 2.7% of global goods. The connection cost will decline at a compound annual growth rate of 25% from 2012 to 2020
