Humidity sensors are sensors that convert the moisture
content in air, gases, bulk materials or soil into an electric output signal.
It is a humidity sensor device which is also known as hygrometer measures and
regularly updates the relative humidity in air. It measures both air
temperature and air moisture. Humidity sensor is composed of two metal plates
with a non-conductive polymer film between them. The film collects moisture
from the air which causes minute changes in the voltage between the two plates.
Humidity sensors are generally used in textile machines, woodworking machines,
printing and paper machines for measuring humidity in air.
Some of the major advantages of humidity sensors over
conventional sensors low power requirement, easy implementation and betterment
of transducer performance such as sensing elements, structure design, principle
of mechanism, and fabrication technologies. Major disadvantages of humidity sensor
market are high cost, frequent mirror contamination and insatiability under
continuous use.
Miniaturization of electronic device is one of the major trend in the global humidity sensor market. Technology advancement and increasing demand in devices with high end feature are driving the market for humidity sensor. On the other hand continuous reduction in prices of sensors due to the introduction of more competitive technologies and higher associated costs are restraining the market growth. The humidity sensor market is segmented on the basis of unit of measurement, by product type, by application and by geography. On the basis of type the market is segmented into Relative humidity sensor and Absolute humidity sensor.
