SEMICONDUCTOR STRAIN GAUGES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Semiconductor Strain Gauges Market size was approximately, is expected to rise to USD 0.035 billion in 2025, and is forecasted to reach USD 0.063 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of about 6.6% throughout the period.

Measurement of the mechanical stress or strain in a material or structure is done with a semiconductor strain gauge. Attached to the structure or material being measured, the gauge is made of a small, flat piece of semiconductor material, usually silicon. Under stress or strain, the gauge will distort and alter its electrical resistance in the material or structure. Calculating the amount of stress or strain on an object can be done by measuring this change. These factors are anticipated to augment the semiconductor strain gauge market growth.

Key Findings

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Obstructed by Pandemic due to Lockdown

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

COVID-19 was the duration where the whole world faced extreme situations a drastic disruption in the health issues and economical issues. This fall faced by the people during pandemic caused a lot of disruptions especially in the semiconductor sector but the most affected sector was the electrical sector as complete halt on the activities related to this sector was imposed due the newly founded rules of social distancing, curfew and lockdowns for the betterment of people. These factors brought a lot of challenges in front of the semiconductor strain gauge market share but past pandemic these challenges have been faced and put to rest since then.
