Digital pyroelectric infrared sensor market in Japan: projected to reach 143 million USD by 2026, with a growth rate of 8.2%.
What is a digital pyroelectric infrared sensor? The market for digital pyroelectric infrared sensors is expanding against the backdrop of advancements in human detection in smart homes, security, and IoT devices. The global market size is expected to grow from 132 million USD in 2025 to 230 million USD by 2032, with a CAGR of 8.2% projected from 2026 to 2032. The global production volume in 2025 is estimated to be about 299 million units, with an average unit price of approximately 0.442 USD, and the industry's gross profit margin is reported to be between 35% and 50%. Digital pyroelectric infrared sensors detect infrared radiation in the 7-10 μm range emitted by the human body and other sources using pyroelectric materials, and they differentiate themselves from traditional PIR sensors by converting this data into high-precision human detection information through built-in ADC and digital signal processing.
