The market for tunnel sensor is growing with the positive growth outlook of increasing tunnel safety concerns worldwide, rising adoption of tunnel automation and monitoring solutions, and among others. Digital transformation is revolutionizing industries worldwide owing to advantages such as enhanced operational efficiency, improved productivity, and reduced costs. Enterprises of all sizes are investing heavily in adopting various digital technologies such as web/mobile apps, cloud computing, internet of things, predictive analytics, and big data.  Digital transformation and process automation has the potential to create unparalleled opportunities for businesses to create more value and increase their revenue. Hence, customers are adopting advanced tunnels sensor solutions which help in automating the tunnel monitoring systems and thus reduce the number of accidents and decrease the cost involved in tunnel maintenance. Some of the major strategic benefits offered by tunnel automation solutions include reduced costs, increased accuracy, enhanced productivity, environmental benefits, and improved regulatory compliance among many others, which in turn is supporting the growth of the tunnel sensor market.  

At present, most of the countries in APAC are economically developing and are focusing majorly on the rising environmental issue; thus, the investments are directed toward advanced technologies to precisely deal with it. This is facilitating the tunnel sensor market players to experience higher demand. China and Japan are the leading countries in the APAC tunnel sensor market. The key reason behind significant demand in the aforementioned countries is the steep rise in the government investment for the development of road and rail line infrastructure, which includes the construction of various tunnels in the route. Several tunnel sensor manufacturers are actively focusing on investing heavily on the road infrastructure as well as the expansion of rail lines, thus demands tunnel sensors to be equipped inside the tunnels constructed en route. However, due to the outbreak of COVID-19, the production, export, and sale of these tunnel sensors are negatively impacted in China. There are many ongoing tunnel construction projects across APAC, which require tunnel sensors to precisely monitor the environment inside the tunnels. Hence, the positive growth outlook of global infrastructure development is anticipated to drive the demand for tunnel sensor globally. The ongoing COVID-19 crisis will impact the ongoing infrastructure development scenario to some extent in 2020; however, the long term industry outlook is anticipated to remain positive during 2020–2027. Therefore, supporting government initiatives for enhancing the infrastructure development are driving the growth of the tunnel sensor market in the region.
