Segments - Virtual Sensors Market by Deployments (On-premise and Cloud), Components (Service and Solution), End-users (Healthcare, Automotive & Transportation, Electronics, Oil & Gas, Manufacturing & Utilities, Aerospace & Defense, and Others), and Regions (Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa) - Global Industry Analysis, Growth, Share, Size, Trends, and Forecast 2023 – 2031
The global virtual sensors market size was USD 643.06 Million in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 7.61 Billion by 2031 register a considerable CAGR 31.6% during the forecast period, 2023-2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the adoption of cloud-based platforms across the manufacturing sector.
Virtual sensors also known as soft sensors, which are software-based solutions. They are created using a mathematical model based on various output data from physical sensors. These techniques have been used to overcome the constraints of physical sensors. A single virtual sensor can anticipate outcomes based on several parameters, such as speed, temperature, pressure, and position.
As a result of the cost advantages, these solutions are increasingly being used as a substitute for physical sensors. The COVID-19 pandemic has significant effect on the sensors market as new projects across the globe have been delayed or suspended, which have significantly led to decline in demand for virtual sensors.

Based on deployments, the global virtual sensors market is bifurcated into on-premise and cloud. The on-premise segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace during the forecast period attributed to higher data security and low privacy concerns. Moreover, in an on-premise deployment, IT professionals that can track, monitor, and supervise the optimization process in real time are necessary, which presents a major factor driving the segment.
However, the cloud segment is anticipated to hold a key share of the market in the coming years due to growing deployment of sensor network through cloud computing technology.
In terms of components, the market is bifurcated into service and solution. The solution segment is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to manufacturing facilities offered by industry 4.0. Additionally, these solutions are enhancing the robot guidance operations by reducing and predicting the accidents, which is projected to accelerate the segment growth further.
On the other hand, the service segment is anticipated to account for a major market share during the forecast period as it offers speed, sensitivity, and diversity that significantly results in speedy delivery in transmission of information between two nodes in a network.
On the basis of end-users, the global virtual sensors market is segregated into healthcare, automotive & transportation, electronics, oil & gas, manufacturing & utilities, aerospace & defense, and others. The manufacturing & utilities segment is anticipated to hold significant market share in the coming years attributed to the major demand for monitoring systems and gaining real-time data within the operations.
However, the aerospace & defense segment is expected to register a considerable CAGR during the forecast period owing to the benefits, such as provision of safe flight operations and higher reliability offered by these sensors.
In terms of regions, the global virtual sensors market is classified as Asia Pacific, North America, Latin America, Europe, and Middle East & Africa. North America is expected to constitute a key share of the market during the projected period attributed to the rise in use of Internet of Things technology-based cloud models as a part of virtual deployment in the region.
However, Europe market is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period owing to extensive use of virtual sensors in healthcare sector in the region to detect phobias, panic disorders, and anxiety disorders in patients.
