Galvanic Skin Response Sensor Market Overview

Galvanic skin reaction is often referred to as skin conductance or electrodermal operation, which aids in measuring the skin's conductivity and the moisture content of the skin. It is because the sweat glands are powered by a sympathetic nervous system and also by moments of intense emotion, which creates changes in the electrical resistance of the skin. The galvanic skin response sensor (GSR) serves as an indicator of physiological and psychological arousal.

The galvanic skin response sensors market is driven by the rising integration of these sensors into wearable devices where they are used to monitor stress levels, emotional states, and physiological parameters. Advancements in sensor technology are propelling the expansion of GSR sensor applications in various fields such as medical diagnostics and psychological research. Moreover, with the growing emphasis on mental health issues, there is an increased demand for tools that can track and manage stress and emotional well-being, which is poised to directly impact the market dynamics.
