With the rapid development of technologies such as 5G communication and the Internet of Things, the global sensor industry is showing new development trends. As the core component of the perception layer of the Internet of Things, sensors are even considered detection devices that can change the present and future world.
It is like an emotional perception instrument, capable of keenly sensing the “smiles and frowns, joy and anger” of the Internet of Things and generating wisdom through data collection to provide ultimate solutions, giving life and soul to cold devices.
In recent years, with favorable domestic policies and massive investments in IoT infrastructure, the application of human presence sensors, gas sensors, temperature and humidity sensors in smart home fields has also made rapid progress, accelerating market expansion with astonishing momentum.
According to data from the China Business Intelligence Network, the market size of sensors in China reached 295.18 billion yuan in 2021, a year-on-year increase of 12.7%. It is expected to increase to 315 billion yuan in 2022, with promising industry prospects.
01
Industry Pain Points
Despite the vast market potential, most of the sensors produced in China are low-end, with imports of mid-to-high-end sensors accounting for as much as 80%. For traditional sensor manufacturers, achieving industrial upgrades is not an overnight task.
Unlike low-end sensors that merely carry digital chips, these intelligent mid-to-high-end sensors require knowledge in semiconductors, chemical physics, and mechanics from principle development to process design, and their feasibility can only be confirmed after continuous debugging, sample manufacturing, environmental verification, and optimization.
The overall process requires enterprises to invest a lot of time and resources to master core technologies.
To address the above pain points, Tuya Smart has launched smart sensor product solutions to help traditional enterprises quickly achieve digital transformation. This solution covers scenarios such as environmental monitoring, safety management, and fire protection, with a very rich application range. Moreover, the provided API capabilities can meet the needs of most developers, as detailed below:
In addition, the products empowered by Tuya Smart cover over 120,000 channels globally, having obtained 7 global safety compliance certifications. After using the Tuya solution, your products can be sold globally, helping you quickly seize the overseas smart sensor market.

Smart Environmental Detectors, Sensitive Observers
Water pollution, air pollution, and noise pollution have already permeated our lives. As people’s awareness of green environmental protection increases, environmental detectors are also beginning to “fly into ordinary homes”. For example:
-
Detecting formaldehyde exceeding standards in newly decorated houses
-
Collecting waste gas emission values from surrounding factories for rights protection
-
Comparing water quality of several swimming pools to make payment decisions
With the development of science and technology, consumers have also put forward more intelligent and refined demands for environmental detectors. Tuya Smart’s smart environmental detector solution supports the detection of PM2.5, formaldehyde, temperature and humidity, CO2, and VOC in a six-in-one environmental data package.
It can accurately report information through a mobile app every 5 minutes, helping you comprehensively understand the air quality of your environment.
This product uses laser measurement, with high accuracy, large range, and short time, allowing for mobile measurement of air quality in different scenarios. It is suitable not only for home use but also for storage rooms, new cars, and various scenarios that require environmental detection, making it very convenient to operate.
It can also interconnect with other smart home devices, for example: you can set the air pollution index range, and once pollution is detected to exceed standards, the LCD screen will display red characters, while automatically turning on the purifier to improve the air quality, creating a comfortable and healthy environment for you.
As people have developed a smarter demand for a healthier, cleaner, and safer living environment, the market potential for smart environmental detectors has also been raised. Facing this blue ocean market, Tuya looks forward to working with you to create a smart life!
03
Smart Door Sensors, Security Guardians
As the first line of defense in security, door and window magnetic products are often referred to as “guardians” by single women. They can detect intrusions and promptly issue alarms; they can also be used to safeguard valuable items to prevent loss, providing people with a sense of security through diverse applications.
With the continuous upgrade of consumer demands, smart door sensors have experienced explosive growth due to their advantages of intelligence and efficient monitoring.
Tuya Smart’s smart door and window sensor solution can sense the opening and closing of doors, windows, and drawers in real-time, and once an abnormal state of being opened or forcibly dismantled is detected, it can promptly push alarm information to the mobile app, providing thoughtful protection for your home safety.
It can also interact with smart home devices, achieving interconnectivity. For instance, when you enter your home, the door sensor can trigger the ultraviolet sterilization lamp to automatically disinfect, and turn on the lights and air conditioning, providing you with a comfortable homecoming experience.
Smart door and window sensors are compact and aesthetically pleasing, suitable for installation at cash registers, cabinets, storage rooms, etc., meeting your diverse application scenario needs.
04
Human Presence Sensors, High-Precision Static Capturers
As an essential component of smart home systems, human presence sensors are arguably one of the most important sensors; when someone breaks into the home, it triggers an alarm and alerts the user via the mobile app, providing convenient and safe functionality.
Although widely used, most human presence sensors also have significant pain points: they cannot detect subtle movements and relatively still persons.
To address the above pain points, Tuya Smart has launched a high-precision human presence sensor solution. It incorporates millimeter-wave radar, capable of detecting subtle human movements, such as breathing or slight changes in movement, effectively monitoring intrusion behavior and pushing alarm messages to the mobile app remotely.
This product can achieve whole-house smart interconnection, for example, in the morning, when it senses you have gotten up, it can automatically open the curtains to start a beautiful new day.
It is also suitable for smart office scenarios; for instance, if you have booked a conference room at 11 o’clock, upon entering the room, it can accurately sense the indoor light intensity, report the illumination to the gateway, and automatically turn on the lighting equipment while adjusting the lights to the most suitable brightness.
If no human presence is detected within a certain period, it will automatically release the conference room, making it convenient for others in need to book, creating a comfortable office experience.
Besides the above scenarios, this product can also be applied in elderly care, schools/communities, hotels, and other places that require human presence detection, with very flexible usage!
In the future, emerging technologies will continue to drive the iteration of smart sensing, creating a comfortable and safe home environment for users. Tuya Smart looks forward to collaborating with you to build a new ecology of smart home sensing!
