The global industrial wireless sensor network market size is anticipated to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the growing emphasis of emerging economies on improving communication links between industrial devices to ensure seamless communication using wireless systems.
Industrial wireless sensor network (IWSN) is the network of disseminated sensing platform with wireless communication. IWSN is located in remote areas, and uses wireless technology to transfer signals to the control room. This system can be monitored, controlled, and troubleshoot remotely. This system is mainly used for control process & monitoring and data processing. IWSN comprise of nodes. A node in the sensor network, includes analogue-to-digital converters, microcontroller, controllers, data storage, a data transceiver, and sensor, which hold the pieces together with an energy source.
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak had a negative impact on the market. During the pandemic, emergency lockdown imposed by government bodies across the regions to avoid the further spread of the virus resulted in, temporary shutdown of industries. Additionally, social distancing norms and travel ban affected a trade business, which created a gap between demand and supply chain and forced to halt the manufacturing, which significantly affected the market. The market is expected to recover soon with an uptrend operation due to gradually decline in COVID cases across the globe.
