Automotive EGR Gas Temperature Sensor Market Revenue Projected For Healthy Growth Rate During The Forecast Period

In an IC engine, EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) gas temperature sensors are used to measure the temperature of the exhaust system. EGR is a technique that is utilized to reduce the nitrogen oxide emissions in petrol/diesel engines. Exhaust gases are reintroduced into the engine combustion chamber to cool the combustion flame. Some vehicles employ an EGR temperature sensor to determine EGR operation. This information is used by the powertrain control module (PCM) to regulate the EGR operation. EGR gas temperature sensor is located in front of the Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and in front of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). It detects the exhaust gas temperature and converts it into a voltage and transmits this signal to the engine ECU in order to control engine conditions to effectively reduce emission. EGR bypass valve function diagnostic as well as thermal protection.

Gas temperature sensors are employed in various applications such as petrochemicals, automotive segments, consumer electronics, computer peripherals, space applications, and industrial sector due to their improved sensitivity. Stringent norms imposed globally by regulatory bodies on carbon emissions of automotive are also anticipated to boost the demand for automotive EGR gas temperature sensors, which control the emission of toxic gases from the vehicle. Governments of various countries have imposed regulations on vehicle emission in order to control air pollution. Technological advancements and emergence of the MEMS technology in temperature sensing are the key opportunities for gas temperature sensors. Emerging market have been witnessing an increase in vehicle production, which leads in increasing demand for automotive EGR gas temperature sensors. Consumer electronics and computing systems are witnessing a consistent increase in demand by automobile makers. Pricing is a major disadvantage of this component. Malfunctioning and replacement is a major issue, as it lies in the high temperature zone.

The automotive EGR gas temperature sensor market can be segmented based on vehicle type, measurement methods, temperature range, and geography.

Based on use, the automotive EGR gas temperature sensor market can be segregated into passenger vehicles (PVs) and commercial vehicles (CVs). The passenger vehicles segment can be further split into hatchbacks, sedans, multi- purpose vehicles (MPVs), and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). The commercial vehicles segment can be further sub-segmented into lightweight commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs).
