Global Photonic Sensor Consortium Market Survey Report 2015DUBLIN, April 20, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/t3zd5s/2015_photonic) has announced the addition of the "2015 Photonic Sensor Consortium Market Survey Report" report to their offering. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769 ) There are several characteristic advantages of fiber optics that make their use especially attractive for sensors: - High accuracy - Can facilitate distributed sensing Most physical properties can be sensed optically with fibers. Light intensity, displacement (position), temperature, pressure, rotation, sound, strain, magnetic field, electric field, radiation, flow, liquid level, chemical analysis, and vibration are just some of the phenomena that can be sensed. Fiber optic sensors have been used successfully for many years in military gyroscopes and hydrophones. However, their use in smart oil wells has been the key to enabling North America to be on a path to energy independence. Key Topics Covered: Reason for Update Photonic Sensor Consortium Background Survey Overview - The focus is distributed fiber optic sensing systems - Wide range of responses from companies with sales of less than $5 million to companies with sales well in excess of $30 million - Projected sales growth in 2013 - Projected sales growth in 2013 - 2017 - Most companies use multiple technologies - Most prominent barrier to growth - Most companies address multiple market segments, but energy is the dominant market - 78% offer sensing systems, while 50% offer installation services Survey Response - What was the size of your sensor business in 2013? - What is the anticipated growth in 2014? - What is your anticipated growth from 2013 to 2018? - What market segments do you serve? - What technologies do you use? - What products or services do you offer? - What is the biggest barrier to growth?
