Virtual Sensor is a software which estimates what the output of a physical sensor would be from the available information. Such sensor is needed when the physical sensor is too expensive, unreliable or when a physical sensor is exposed to an aggressive environment the reduces its life expectancy. Virtual sensor is made for the measurement of such values that are very hard and very expensive to be measured when done with use of physical sensors.

Virtual sensor provides generality, reusability, high level of abstraction to the application developer and flexibility which leads to the demand of virtual sensors driving the growth of global virtual sensors market. Other factors responsible for boosting the growth of global virtual sensors market includes accuracy, ease to maintain and low cost of this sensor. Virtual sensor can be easily deployed and also provides the benefit of operating more than one virtual sensor on one appliance and configure each of them differently along with having very less energy consumption and efficiency. The factors responsible for restraining the growth of global virtual sensor market includes the lack of awareness of the associated benefits with the virtual sensor and the shortage of skilled workforce with technical knowledge.

Various notable players in the virtual sensor market include General Electric, Cisco, Honeywell International Inc., Siemens, Schneider Electric, Elliptic Labs, Aspen Technology, EXPUTEC, Tactile Mobility, IntelliDynamics among others.
