and machine learning are used in bioacoustics sensing, which in turn is expected to further
strengthen the adoption of bioacoustics in the near future.
Factors driving growth of the bioacoustics sensing market
Major factors driving growth of the bioacoustics sensing market include growing awareness and
worldwide acceptance of artificial intelligence. Report of the U.S. (GAO) Government
Accountability Office estimated that, revenue from AI is projected to account for US$ 25 billion
to over US$ 40 billion by 2025, from US$ 5 billion in 2017. Artificial intelligence is majorly used
in wearable and connected devices, which are products used in bioacoustics sensing technology.
Additionally, the adoption of bioacoustics sensing technology is increasing in the healthcare
sector due to various applications such as improving human comfort, convenience, and security
as well as monitoring health conditions. Bioacoustics sensors are used for constant observation
and monitoring of blood pressure, respiratory system, and stamina.
For instance, according to report by Semantic Scholar in the U.S., 39 of 40 patients (97.5%)
demonstrated good tolerance of the bioacoustics sensor for detecting heart beats in 2015. The
Ionic Polymer Metallic Composites can be used as sensor, is placed over the carotid artery to
resolve the arterial pressure waveform in situ and on the thorax to measure the S1 and S2
cardiac sounds. Major applications of bioacoustics sensing devices in the healthcare sector
include primary stage detection of diseases such as cancer. It is also used in skin put technology,
which uses the surface of the skin as an input device, it makes the human body suitable for
acoustic transmission. It permits users to use their own arms and hands as touch screens by
sensing different vibrations that are generated when knocking various parts of skin.
Bioacoustics sensing is also used for biodiversity monitoring, which is used to determine the
state of environment. It has been found that using bioacoustics sensing in biodiversity is non-
destructive as it does not cause any harm to any life form on earth while in use. This in turn, has
increased its adoption in this biodiversity monitoring sector. It is also used in agricultural and
forestry for increasing production. Bioacoustics sensing encourages farming practices that are
able to maintain high level of environment. It helps to locate plant species and monitors plant
growth. ABI (Automated Bioacoustics Identification) device is a new bioacoustics sensing tool
used to find out solutions to problems that arise unexpectedly in the field identification of
species. This technology improves auditory observations, and also improves the quality of
biological surveys and environmental monitoring. For instance, the latest project ‘Observe
Nature by Ear! preparation of the Learning Program Assisted by Vocal Recognition Technology’
