Pressure Sensor Manufacturing in the US industry analysis

Technological advancements have improved the performance of pressure sensors, making them more reliable and broadening their applications to serve new markets. In particular, the application of microelectromechanical (MEMS) pressure sensors, which have advanced microprocessors and electrical components that permit greater functionality and efficiency in a smaller, cost-effective design, has been a key driver of revenue growth. These improvements have enabled their application across automotive, industrial and consumer devices, with the small group of leading manufacturers relying on innovation to stand out in a highly globalized marketplace. Even as high interest rates have lowered big-ticket purchases that use pressure sensors and raised financing costs for research and development, the industry has expanded. Industry revenue is forecast to rise at a CAGR of 2.6% to $2.1 billion through the end of 2025, including an expected 1.6% gain in 2025 alone.

Manufacturers face significant threats from foreign sensor producers, as these can often offer lower prices due to their lower operating costs. Exports have historically represented one of the most important markets for domestic pressure sensor manufacturers. Global buyers value the precision, accuracy and design flexibility that US manufacturers instill in production. A strong US dollar for much of the period has negatively impacted the need for domestic sensors as they have become comparatively more expensive. However, the weakening of the dollar in 2025 has lowered costs for foreign buyers and improved the competitiveness of American-made sensors in global markets.

At the same time, the global trade regime is undergoing rapid change under the Trump administration's imposition of tariffs. While the US has applied tariffs on imported pressure sensors from China, as well as North American goods that do not meet compliance with free trade agreements, companies around the world remain inextricably dependent on US-made pressure sensors because of their high quality and specialized nature. Despite tariff challenges, high-profit exports of pressure sensors are projected to rise in 2025, reflecting continued global demand.

Even as the trade environment continues to shift in the near term, manufacturers will benefit from economic growth and a weakening dollar, increasing demand from downstream buyers. As manufacturers continue to invest in new product development, demand for pressure sensors will rise among new markets, such as smartphone manufacturers. Domestically, a surging defense budget will drive demand for advanced pressure sensors in precision military applications. Industry revenue is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 2.5% to $2.4 billion through 2030.

Trends and Insights

  • Growing global demand for sensors has pushed manufacturers to expand research and development efforts. This has allowed them to enter new markets and diversify revenue streams, strengthening their position in a competitive industry.
  • Manufacturers have aimed to make sensors more efficient. This improvement has enabled sensors to be adopted by more downstream manufacturers, supporting demand for domestic producers that specialize in high-value or specialized sensor products.
  • Sensor producers concentrate operations near major markets. This strategy allows manufacturers to build strong relationships with buyers, reducing the risk of supplier switching and enhancing long-term business stability.
  • Foreign producers pose a significant threat to domestic manufacturers. Lower operating costs abroad allow them to charge lower prices, increasing demand for imported pressure sensors and intensifying competition for domestic manufacturers.

Trends and Insights

A weaker US dollar will boost pressure sensor exports, although foreign competition and tariff threats will maintain market pressure

  • A weaker US dollar will make exports more affordable overseas while increasing costs for imports. This shift will improve the relative price of US-made products abroad and support export growth. Despite lower import penetration, foreign producers with lower production costs will maintain a presence in the US market, keeping domestic manufacturers under competitive pressure.
