Energy Harvesting Market for WSNs Reaches $1.58 Billion
wireless sensor network market was valued at USD 429.6 Million in 2015 and is expected to reach USD 1576.9 Million by 2022, at a CAGR of 19.1% between 2016 and 2022. The base year considered for the study is 2015 and the forecast period is between 2016 and 2022. The world of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is undergoing a quiet revolution. These networks, comprised of tiny sensors that collect data on everything from temperature and humidity to vibrations and air quality, are increasingly ditching their reliance on batteries and turning to a more sustainable solution: energy harvesting. Traditionally, WSNs have been powered by batteries. While this offers initial ease of deployment, it presents a significant long-term challenge. Replacing batteries in hundreds, or even thousands, of sensors spread across a wide area can be costly, time-consuming, and disruptive. Additionally, the environmental impact of discarded batteries adds another layer of concern. Energy harvesting technology of
