IoT Sensors Market to Reach USD 48.2 Billion by 2034 Powered by Smart Infrastructure Expansion

global IoT Sensors Market was valued at USD 12.21 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 48.2 billion by 2034, exhibiting a CAGR of 16.8% during the forecast period 2026-2034. Robust upward trajectory stems from widespread IIoT adoption and smart city deployments generating massive data volumes.

IoT sensors are compact electro-mechanical devices that detect environmental parameters like temperature, pressure, humidity, motion, gas concentration, light intensity, and proximity, converting physical stimuli into digital signals via MEMS, CMOS, or NEMS transduction principles. These sensors feature integrated ADCs, microcontrollers for edge processing, and wireless interfaces (BLE, Zigbee, LoRaWAN, NB-IoT) with power consumption below 10µW in sleep mode, enabling battery lives exceeding 10 years.
