Asia Pacific Proximity Sensors Market Segment Insights

Inductive segment is projected to hold a major market share

Based on technology, the proximity sensors market is bifurcated into capacitive, magnetic, inductive, and photoelectric. The inductive segment is expected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period. The growing demand for purchasing various types of vehicles has driven the inductive proximity sensor market in terms of cost. Industrial applications, such as overcoming the harsh conditions that inductive proximity sensors can easily endure, create lucrative opportunities for the market players during forecast period. On the other hand, the magnetic segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during forecast period. Magnetic proximity sensors are used to detect permanent magnets. Since magnetic fields penetrate all non-magnetic materials, these sensors can detect magnets through walls made of non-ferrous metals.

The industrial segment is expected to grow at a rapid pace

Based on end-users, the proximity sensors market is segregated into automotive, consumer electronics, industrial, aerospace & defense, food & beverages, and others. The industrial segment is expected to represent a key share of the market during the forecast period. Proximity sensors provide precise and repeatable operations for efficient manufacturing. The increasing automation of complex manufacturing systems requires components that can provide critical data about the manufacturing process, which is why they are now used in industrial robots to perform repetitive operations and hard work aimed at revitalizing the research market. Within five years, the number of industrial robots in Indian factories has doubled. In China, due to rising labor costs, global price competition, and product quality requirements, the penetration rate of industrial robots is also increasing. These sensors minimize the risk of sudden equipment failures, detect alarms to warn such failures, and notify users via the network.

On the other hand, the consumer electronics segment is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period. The high output of such electronic devices and components has made a significant impact on the market. The region is also one of the most important manufacturers and consumers of smartphones. Smart phones and wearable devices such as smart watches and fitness trackers are experiencing rapid growth in Asian countries, which is expected to drive the demand for proximity sensors during the forecast period.
