Position Sensor Market - By Type (Linear Type, Rotary Sensor), By Contact Type (Non-Contact, Contact), By Output Type (Digital, Analog), By Application (Machine Tools, Robotics, Motion Systems, Material Handling, Test Equipment), By End-use & global forecast, 2023-2032

Position Sensor Market Size

Position Sensor Market size reached more than USD 4 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to showcase over 8% CAGR from 2023-2032. Extensive adoption of position sensors in automobiles for determining the position of the steering wheel, seats, pedals as well as several valves, knobs, and actuators will positively influence the industry outlook.
 

The rising advances in road and vehicle designs has propelled the increasing number of accidents further prompting end-users to adopt better safety measures. The steadily decreasing injury and death rates in all developed countries will further favor the demand for position sensors.
 

The emerging trend of predictive maintenance is another impact rendering factor for the industry expansion. Predictive maintenance is a process to monitor equipment with the help of hardware and software for limiting unpredictable failure while minimizing the operational costs.  Hence, the thriving need for enhancing the plant safety as well as extension of the operational life of assets & equipment across several businesses will anchor the adoption of position sensors.
 

The growing number of technical challenges, including the inability of detecting the precise position at specific temperature ranges for generating false alarms will hamper the position sensor market expansion. On account of their intricate design, position sensors are widely employed in the industrial settings. The surging demand for more affordable as well as smaller position sensors will further pose a challenge for the industry growth.
 

Position Sensor Market Analysis

Electronics position sensor market size will exceed USD 3 billion by the end of 2032.  Position sensors are extensively deployed across the electronic industry as they help to accurately measure and control the position of electronic devices, components, and systems. The rising popularity of smaller and more accurate position sensors for fitting into compact electronic devices due to the emerging trend of miniaturization in the electronic industry.
 

Based on contact type, the demand for non-contact position sensors will record over 9% CAGR from 2023-2032. The growth can be attributed to the increasing deployment of autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in the automotive industry. Hence, the rising emphasis of various automotive companies on collaborations for introducing advanced autonomous automotives will drive the product espousal.
 

With respect to output type, the digital position sensor market size reached over USD 1.5 billion in 2022 on account of the increasing rapid automation and higher sensor integration in several industries. Digital position sensors have gained immense potential in various automation applications, including robotics, and manufacturing equipment, among others for providing accurate and reliable position feedback. Moreover, the thriving deployment of Industry 4.0 and smart factory concepts is another impact rendering factor for the market statistics. 
 

North America position sensor market size will depict over 8% CAGR from 2023-2032 due to the growing competition in the region as numerous key players are constantly coming up with several innovative products for catering to the evolving industrial needs. To cite an instance, Onsemi, in November 2022, launched the NCS32100, its dual-inductive rotary position sensor. The new sensor deploys a novel approach for providing unparalleled speed & accuracy and inductive position sensing.
