Current sensor have high acceptance in various renewable energy systems such as grid-tied inverters, photovoltaic (PV) systems, DC-DC converters, ultra-capacitor modules, and generators. The integration of current sensor into these systems reduces the cost per watt, optimizes power extraction, and efficiently manages the power control of convertors & invertors. The rising construction of new solar energy farms across the U.S., China, and India to increase energy capacity and combat future power-deficit crises will augment the market expansion in the coming years.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the current sensor market progression with the shutdown of major consumer electronics and automotive manufacturing facilities in early 2020. In the first half of 2020, market players also witnessed a severe supply chain disruption related to raw materials and components. This was majorly owing to delay in supply orders by sensor manufacturers and international trade barriers imposed by various governments & regulatory bodies across the globe. The increasing work-from-home trend across the IT services industry has resulted in the rising uptake of new desktops/PCs, tablets, and laptops, which require current sensor for battery management and charger management applications.
