In the current digital world, the phenomenal growth of interconnected devices increased the applications of sensors. Sensors turn the physical measurement activity into an electrical signal for processing and transmission.

Some of the hottest trends are as follows:

• The miniaturisation of sensors is one of the leading trends which are opening up new ways for data collections. In most applications, multiple sensors with a low-performance profile with very low power requirements are needed.
• Digitalisation is considered the major growth trend for the sensor industry. With too many IoT applications, smart sensors would play a key role in collecting and interpreting information.
• The sensor fusion is another major trend. Sensor fusion is the method of integrating data from multiple sensors to reduce the amount of instability associated with robot navigation or task quality. Sensor fusion is considered to be an important step for autonomous vehicles as it uses a wide range of sensors for locating, identification and understanding the surrounding.
