Position Sensor Market Size, Share, Growth Analysis, By Type (Linear, Rotary), By Contact Type (Non-Contact, Contact), By Output, By Application (Machine Tools, Robotics), By End-User Industry, By Region - Industry Forecast 2024-2031

Position Sensor Market Drivers

• High accuracy degree is required by all manufacturing industries to match industry standard products in order to provide high quality products, be it electronic or automotive. Position sensors also help to sensor other parameters such as gap, width, profiling, edge, bend, angle, groove, height, surface, and others. Position sensors are suitable for different applications such as heavy-duty machinery, construction equipment, mobile hydraulics, industrial equipment, transportation systems, HVAC systems, and smart buildings. Position sensors are used for monitoring processes, testing, and automating processes, the demand for which will further create new growth opportunities for this market in the coming years as well.
• High focus of manufacturing industry on accurate measurements and detailed inspection, as the manufacturing industry requires a high degree of accuracy to comply with industry standards. Manufacturers focus on 2 important parameters to produce high-quality products: accuracy of measurements and detailed inspection. Profiling, width, height, step, gap, V-gap, edge, angle, bend, groove, and surface are among a few crucial parameters that a position sensor measures. These sensors also detect, measure, and evaluate the profiles on different object surfaces and are suitable for various industrial applications, including HVAC systems, transportation systems, industrial equipment, mobile hydraulics, smart buildings, heavy-duty machinery, and construction equipment. Many measurement tasks become easier when the position sensor is integrated with the analytics software. Thus, the position sensor is useful where displacement, distance, length, or position parameters need to be measured for automating, testing, or monitoring processes.

Position Sensor Market Restraints

• Higher ownership cost, the position sensor is manufactured/assembled using numerous components, such as position magnets, sensing rods, electronics housing fixtures, diagnostic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and connectors, which are supplied by multiple vendors. Profitability primarily depends on the availability and cost of raw materials and components, as well as on time taken to launch the end product in the market. The major challenge for the companies operating in this segment is to increase their manufacturing capabilities, provide improved quality products, as well as reduce the overall cost of production.
