DUST SENSORS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global dust sensors market size was USD 0.49 billion in 2024 and market is expected to reach USD 0.79 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period. North America is dominating the dust sensors market share in 2025.

A dust sensor measures and computes the dust concentration to give a good indicator of the air quality in an environment. By counting the Low Pulse Occupancy time (LPO time) in a specific time unit, the amount of Particulate Matter (PM level) in the air is determined. PM concentration and LPO time are inversely correlated. By monitoring the dust concentration, this dust sensor gives an excellent indication of the air quality in an area. Some dust sensors offer improved performance and reliability over conventional single-channel options since they are made to operate in challenging situations.

The application of dust sensors is increasing both in commercial as well as household use-cases. The need to improve indoor air quality is rising due to growing levels of air pollution that leads to increased risk of various cardiovascular disorders. These sensors are also being implemented across a variety of industries, including healthcare, aerospace, automotive, and others. Continuously rising demand across various application sectors will augment the dust sensors market growth.
