The study involved major activities in estimating the current size of the temperature sensor market. Exhaustive secondary research was done to collect information on temperature sensors. The next step was to validate these findings, assumptions, and sizing with industry experts across the value chain using primary research. Different approaches, such as top-down and bottom-up, were employed to estimate the total market size. After that, the market breakup and data triangulation procedures were used to estimate the market size of the segments and subsegments of the temperature sensor.

Secondary research was mainly used to obtain critical information about the industry's supply chain and value chain, the total pool of key players, market classification and segmentation according to industry trends to the bottom-most level, geographic markets, and key developments from both the market and technology-oriented perspectives. Secondary data has been gathered and analyzed to determine the overall market size, which has also been validated by primary research.
Primary Research
Extensive primary research was conducted after understanding and analyzing the current scenario of the temperature sensor market through secondary research. A number of primary interviews were held with demand and supply side key opinion leaders in four key regions: North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World. Nearly 25% of the primary interviews were held with the demand side and 75% with the supply side. The primary data was gathered primarily through telephonic interviews, which were 80% of the total primary interviews. Surveys and e-mails were also utilized to gather data.
Note: Three tiers of companies are defined based on their total revenue as of 2024; tier 1: revenue more than or equal to USD 500 million, tier 2: revenue between USD 100 million and USD 500 million, and tier 3: revenue less than or equal to USD 100 million. Other designations include sales and marketing executives and researchers, as well as members of various temperature sensor organizations.

Temperature Sensor Market : Top-Down and Bottom-Up Approach
Data Triangulation
After arriving at the overall size of the temperature sensor market from the estimation process explained above, the market was split into several segments and subsegments. The data triangulation and market breakdown procedures were employed (wherever applicable) to complete the overall market engineering process and arrive at the exact statistics for all segments and subsegments. The data was triangulated by studying various factors and trends from both the demand and supply sides. The size of the temperature sensor market was validated using both top-down and bottom-up approaches.
Market Definition
A temperature sensor is a device that is used to measure the degree or level of heat in a substance or its surroundings. Temperature sensors can typically be classified into two types: contact and non-contact sensors.
Contact sensors: These temperature sensors need to make physical contact with the object being sensed. In contact sensors, temperature sensing occurs through conduction. Contact sensors are capable of measuring the temperature of solids, liquids, or gases over a wide range. A few examples of common contact sensors include thermocouples, temperature sensor ICs, thermistors, and RTDs. Non-contact sensors operate on the principles of convection and radiation to detect temperature changes. Non-contact sensors detect the thermal radiation that is emitted from an object and are equipped with infrared radiation sensors. The major types of non-contact sensors are optical and infrared sensors.

I am trying to compile a report which outlines the most popular manufacturers of certain electrical components, (see below) over the last 20 years, segmented by global regions and industry. I understand your reports are highly valued as they give future forecasts. I wondered if it would be possible to negotiate a price for the data you have on file (2000-2017) ? List of components: Temperature sensors; pressure sensors; flow meters; level sensors; PLCs; DCSs; valves, actuators and positioners; variable speed drives, agitator controls and electric trace heating. .

I am interesting in purchasing this report, however I am unable to purchase it without being able to sense check a number against our own data, to check that the data is accurate and reliable. Would it be possible to gain access to one figure (e.g. China or APAC temperature market size) in order to check this prior to purchasing? I am looking forward to hear from you. .
