Environmental sensor manufacturer NIDS Co., Ltd. has confirmed that it will take part in CES 2027, using the event as a step in an effort to widen its global business-to-business supply chain. The Seoul-based company said it intends to build on its record of supplying sensors to domestic and international home appliance and automotive makers, with the aim of winning overseas customers and extending its applications into smart building HVAC and robotics.

The announcement, issued on October 31, 2026, comes shortly after the company's appearance at SEDEX 2026, where it presented its next-generation sensor modules.

From SEDEX in Seoul to CES

NIDS recently exhibited at the Korea Semiconductor Industry Association's Sensor Pavilion during SEDEX 2026, held at COEX in Seoul.

According to the company, the show allowed it to raise awareness of its technology among domestic home appliance and electronic component industry professionals and to lay the groundwork for collaboration in the sensor field.

CES 2027 is positioned as the company's next stage. NIDS said it plans to firm up discussions on sensor module supply with global home appliance makers, HVAC specialists, and robotics companies.

The company aims to carry the industry contacts it gained at the domestic exhibition overseas and to convert product introductions into actual supply opportunities.

A Track Record in Home Appliances and Automotive

Founded in 2000, NIDS develops and manufactures environmental sensors and air quality management solutions. According to the company, it has cumulatively supplied more than 10 million sensors to domestic and international companies, including Dyson, Samsung Electronics, and Hyundai Motor.

NIDS said it intends to draw on this supply history to demonstrate its precision sensing technology and mass-production capabilities to overseas customers.

The company said it designs the core components required for air quality measurement in-house and has a system in place to mass-produce 5 million units annually.

Product Lineup

NIDS lists particulate matter sensors, optical gas sensors based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology, composite environmental sensors, and electronic nose sensor modules among its main products.

The particulate matter sensors measure PM1.0, PM2.5, and PM10, while the gas sensor lineup targets carbon dioxide (CO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), and other gases. The electronic nose is used for detecting everyday odors, gas leaks, and fires.

At the exhibition, the company will also highlight its sensor product lineup and its newly developed ultra-compact MEMS sensor technology. NIDS plans to introduce its optical and gas sensor lineup along with examples of their application in actual air quality management systems.

By explaining both the measurement functions of its components and its experience operating sensors in finished-product services, the company said it aims to broaden the scope of partnership discussions.

Composite Modules as the Growth Area

The area where NIDS says it will expand development and supply going forward is next-generation composite sensor modules. The company has been pursuing a sensor business that responds to industry-specific demand in home appliances, automotive, and smart building HVAC.

It is now concentrating its capabilities on markets such as robotics, industrial safety, and odor detection based on this technology.

Building on its experience supplying individual components, NIDS plans to continue developing and supplying, on a B2B basis, modules that handle multiple types of environmental data.

Owning the Sensor to Tune the System

NIDS explained that, because it owns its precision sensors, it can control sensor sensitivity and tune algorithms to suit the system in which they are applied.

Drawing on this technical operating experience, the company plans to pursue partnerships with customers and to promote business capabilities that extend from sensor components to air quality and odor management and industrial safety management.

Leveraging Overseas Bases

For overseas market development, NIDS said it will use its existing branch network. Through bases in the United States, Japan, and China, the company plans to widen its touchpoints with buyers and seek new supply opportunities in conjunction with its CES participation.

Its stated goal is to generate export results by combining exhibition participation with its local networks. The company said it intends to keep expanding the global supply of sensor components as a core pillar of its business.

Building on the supply experience accumulated in home appliances and automotive, it will broaden its partners to robotics, HVAC, and smart buildings and respond to industry-specific air quality measurement demand through the development of next-generation modules.
