Global Market for IoT Sensors to Reach $48.0 Billion by 2023
August 23, 2018 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Due to the ability to embed into almost any environment and their role as a critical end-point or starting point for IoT communications, the global market for sensors used with the Internet of Things is seeing explosive growth, according to a new report from BCC Research.
In 2017, the global market for sensors used within the Internet of Things was worth $10.5 billion. BCC Research estimates that it will reach $48.0 billion by 2023, indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.8%, as discussed in the report Sensors for the Internet of Things (IoT): Global Markets.
Sensors are often the critical end-point or starting point for IoT communications. As such, the IoT sensor market is a subset of the $135.5 billion sensor market (2017), which is forecast to reach $283.4 billion by 2023 at a CAGR of 13.2%.
Research Highlights
- The Asia-Pacific region is forecast to produce the most revenue by 2023 at $18.7 billion, while also having a CAGR of 30.2%.
- There are few limitations to this market; however, manufacturing capacity and the lack of sufficient computing power are still notable obstacles.
- New requirements for these sensors include lower power and longer battery-life requirements, improved networking capability through embedded antennas, the ability to process or store short bursts or long streams of real-time data, wireless connectivity using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Wi-Fi, and protection of user privacy.
“New technology shaped by new requirements for IoT applications will create new product categories or bring new life to existing products through adaptations,” the report notes. “Techniques such as plug-and-play, miniaturization and hybridization will come into play to drive technological advances.”

The Marketing Minute: Marketing With Layers
10/15/2025 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteMarketing to a technical audience is like crafting a multilayer board: Each layer serves a purpose, from the surface story to the buried detail that keeps everything connected. At I-Connect007, we’ve learned that the best marketing campaigns aren’t built linearly; they’re layered. A campaign might start with a highly technical resource, such as an in-depth article, a white paper, or a podcast featuring an engineer delving into the details of a process. That’s the foundation, the substance that earns credibility.

It’s Only Common Sense: Stop Whining About the Market—Outwork It
10/06/2025 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhenever the market hiccups or the industry cycle dips, I hear the same tired chorus: “The market is down. Customers aren’t buying. What can we do? We just have to wait it out.” Nonsense. If you think that by showing up, opening your doors, and waiting for the economy to smile kindly upon you, that success will follow, you are in the wrong business. Worse yet, you’re living in the wrong mindset. Most people don’t want to hear the truth that winners find business in down cycles. Losers blame the economy.
