Eyes of the meta universe: Sensors
The sensor is composed of sensitive elements and conversion elements, which can feel the specified detection amount (physical quantity, chemical quantity, biomass, etc.) and convert the detection amount into available output signals according to a certain law, so as to meet the needs of information transmission, processing, storage, display, recording and control.
Sensor technology, communication technology and computer technology are known as one of the three pillars of modern information technology. Its core value is to obtain or fit accurate and reliable information data in the process of information processing, so as to lay the foundation for subsequent data processing. At this stage, sensors are widely used in automotive electronic sensing, industrial automation production, intelligent medical diagnosis, home appliance sensing and other fields. At the same time, they are rapidly infiltrating into complex engineering systems such as space development, ocean exploration and bioengineering. In the future, they are more expected to be the core senses of meta universe applications and lay the foundation for the full truth and immersive experience of cloud universe users.
01 the demand of overseas sensor market is relatively saturated, and the growth rate is relatively limited
The demand of overseas sensor market is relatively saturated, and the market growth is relatively limited in the short term. In terms of volume and energy, the growth rate of overseas sensor shipments decreased significantly in 2019. In terms of price and energy, the average single product price of overseas sensors continues to decline: from US $0.63 in 2010 to US $0,29 in 2020, and it is expected to maintain an average annual decline of US $0.01 in the future.
02 the development prospect of sensors in China is considerable. However, the industry is dominated by medium and low-end products
China’s sensor market is dominated by private enterprise level joint ventures. There is room for improvement in the overall scientific research funds and talent investment, preparation process, core technology precipitation and the overall industrial environment, resulting in a relatively low variety of self-developed sensor products in China. At present, China’s sensor products mainly focus on medium and low-end sensor products.
03 the connotation of cloud universe has gradually shifted from social networking to industry, and the sensor industry is facing three opportunities
In the future, as the connotation of cloud universe is gradually transferred from social to industrial, aiot will create more meta universe demand scenarios to jointly drive the release of sensor demand in China. At the same time, it can be seen that the overall development prospect of Chinese sensors, as the data acquisition core of meta cosmic industrial application, is still considerable, and there are growth opportunities in policy, industry and technology.
