A Data Acquisition System (DAS) refers to the hardware and software solutions that collect, measure, and analyze data from physical phenomena—such as temperature, pressure, vibration, or voltage—and convert it into digital formats for monitoring, control, and decision-making.
They matter because industries such as automotive, aerospace, energy, healthcare, and manufacturing are increasingly dependent on real-time data insights to improve performance, optimize operations, ensure safety, and meet regulatory compliance. As digital transformation accelerates, DAS forms the backbone of Industry 4.0, IoT ecosystems, and smart infrastructure.
According to BIS Research, data acquisition system market was valued at $2.14 billion in 2024 and expected to reach $3.51 billion by 2034 at a CAGR of 4.08%.
