In this report, we will assess the current U.S. tariff framework alongside international policy adaptations, analyzing their effects on competitive market structures, regional economic dynamics, and supply chain resilience.
The pyroelectric infrared sensor detects the target through the temperature difference between the target and the background. Its working principle is to use the pyroelectric effect, that is, to set electrodes on the upper and lower surfaces of a crystal such as barium titanate, and cover the upper surface with a black film. If there is intermittent infrared irradiation, the surface temperature rises △T, and the atomic arrangement inside the crystal will change, causing spontaneous polarization charge, and generating a voltage △U between the upper and lower electrodes. Commonly used materials for pyroelectric infrared photosensitive elements include ceramic oxides and piezoelectric crystals, such as barium titanate, lithium tantalate, triglycine sulfate and lead titanate.
The driving factors of the pyroelectric infrared sensor market mainly include:
1. Technological progress and innovation
Breakthroughs in materials science
The application of new pyroelectric materials: lithium tantalate (LiTaO3), triglycine sulfate (TGS) and other materials has improved the sensitivity and response speed of sensors. For example, nanostructured materials increase the sensitivity by 20%-30%, and the pyroelectric performance of thin films prepared by the sol-gel method is improved by 15%.
R&D of high-temperature and lead-free materials: Develop high-temperature pyroelectric materials and lead-free materials for high-temperature environments (such as industrial monitoring) and environmental protection needs to expand application scenarios.
Manufacturing process optimization
Patent for mounted sensors: For example, the mounted design of Senba Sensor reduces processing costs by simplifying the packaging process and promotes large-scale production.
Integration and miniaturization: Micro-nano processing technology realizes sensor arrays (such as 16×16 pixels) to improve resolution and functional integration.
Intelligent upgrade
Signal processing technology: The built-in microprocessor implements algorithms such as Fourier transform and wavelet transform to improve anti-interference ability and stability.
Adaptive function: Automatically adjust parameters through learning mode, such as adjusting lighting brightness according to ambient light.
2. Expansion of application fields
Deepening of traditional fields
Security monitoring: As the core of passive infrared detector (PIR Detector), it is widely used in intrusion detection in homes, warehouses, banks and other places.
Smart home: Combined with automatic lighting and air conditioning control, it realizes the energy-saving solution of "lights on when people enter and lights off when people leave", reducing energy consumption by 30%-50%.
Penetration of emerging fields
Healthcare:
Non-contact respiratory monitoring (based on changes in chest thermal radiation).
Fall warning for the elderly (through mobile pattern recognition).
Demand for infrared body temperature detectors in epidemic prevention and control has surged.
Industrial automation:
Monitoring the temperature and movement status of the production line to optimize production efficiency.
Detection of people entering dangerous areas by mistake.
Automotive electronics:
Pedestrian recognition and obstacle detection in autonomous driving.
Occupant detection in the car (to avoid false triggering of airbags).
Internet of Things and emerging technologies
Internet of Things devices: As core components of gesture control and presence perception, they are used in smart wearables and smart homes.
Virtual reality (VR): interactive experience through thermal radiation analysis.
Wildlife protection: monitoring animal activity trajectories and body temperature changes.
III. Policies and market demand
Policy support
Energy conservation and emission reduction regulations: The EU Energy Efficiency Directive requires public buildings to adopt intelligent lighting systems, which promotes the demand for PIR sensors.
Safety standards: Countries have increased their requirements for safety in public places, such as the mandatory installation of automatic alarm systems in banks and shopping malls.
Consumption upgrade
Popularization of smart homes: The global smart home market size exceeds US0 billion, and PIR sensors benefit as key components.
Consumer electronics upgrade: The demand for infrared sensing functions (such as gesture control and health monitoring) in smartphones and wearable devices has increased.
IV. Cost reduction and scale
Cost optimization
Materials and processes: Thin film technology and surface mount design reduce production costs, making PIR sensors more competitive in price.
Industry chain integration: The complete production process from material preparation to device assembly (such as the Huazhong University of Science and Technology project) promotes scale.
Market penetration rate increases
Price-sensitive applications: such as automatic lighting in public toilets and underground garages, cost reduction promotes large-scale deployment.
Emerging market expansion: Infrastructure construction in Southeast Asia, Africa and other regions drives security and lighting demand.
The market growth of pyroelectric infrared sensors is driven by technological progress (materials, processes, intelligence), application expansion (security, medical, automotive), policy support (energy saving, safety) and cost reduction. In the future, with the penetration of emerging fields such as the Internet of Things and autonomous driving, as well as the research and development of high-temperature/lead-free materials, the market potential will continue to be released.
