The global ceramic transducers market size was around USD 1.638 Bn in 2022 and is likely to reach USD 3.714 Bn by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 9.1% during 2023–2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing demand for flow rate measurement systems across industries.
A ceramic transducer is an electro-mechanical device made of piezoelectric materials, which converts electrical energy to mechanical energy and mechanical energy to electrical energy in various mediums such as liquid, air, and others. When mechanical stress is applied, ceramic transducers generate an electric current and form mechanical strain in response to changes in temperature changes, light, or electric fields.
Ceramic transducers employed as a sensor in various applications including microphones, loudspeakers, alarm systems, detection, and medical devices. Its main function is to detect variations such as changes in pressure, temperature, and vibration in the atmosphere. Furthermore, it is widely used in touch sensors, airbag sensors, seat belt buzzers, radio resonators, tire pressure indicators, keyless door entry, structural health monitoring, and others similar applications.
The market report finds that COVID-19 pandemic affected the ceramic transducers market. Various manufacturing projects have canceled or delayed during the pandemic, due to the emergency lockdowns and several restrictions imposed by governments across the globe.
However, a sharp declined from the end-users, owing to the lack of timely supply of product and the lack of availability of a skilled workforce disrupted the overall supply chain of electronic and electrical components during the peak times of the pandemic, which decreased the market growth.
