Wednesday 13 January 2016, Amsterdam

The Report, now available on ASDReports, “Europe Acoustic Wave Sensor Market by Sensing Parameter (Temperature, Pressure, Mass, Torque, Humidity, Viscosity, Chemical Vapor), by Application (Automotive, Military &Aerospace, Consumer Electronics, Healthcare, Industrial) & Geography - Analysis & Forecast To 2019” is estimated to reach $306.8 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 18% from 2014 to 2019.

Acoustic wave sensor devices have been in commercial use for more than 60 years. The automotive and the industrial sector are the largest consumer. These are typically surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices and act as band-pass filters in both the radio frequency and intermediate frequency sections of the transceiver electronics. Several of the emerging applications for acoustic wave devices as sensors may eventually equal the demand of the aerospace and military, healthcare, and consumer electronics market.

Acoustic wave sensors are extremely versatile devices that are just beginning to realize their commercial potential. They are competitively priced, inherently rugged, very sensitive, and intrinsically reliable, and can be interrogated passively and wirelessly. Wireless sensors are beneficial when monitoring parameters on moving objects, such as tire pressure on cars or torque on shafts. Sensors that require no operating power are highly desirable for remote monitoring of chemical vapors, moisture, and temperature. Other applications include measuring force, acceleration, shock, angular rate, viscosity, displacement, and flow, in addition to film characterization. The sensors also have an acoustoelectric sensitivity, allowing the detection of pH levels, ionic contaminants, and electric fields. Surface acoustic wave sensors have proved to be the most sensitive in general as a result of their larger energy density on the surface. For liquid sensing, a special class of shear-horizontal surface acoustic wave sensors called Love wave sensors proved to be the most sensitive.
