Wired segment is expected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period.
The wired segment has the broadest market share in the position sensor market due to its relatively high reliability and voltage isolation to provide uninterrupted signal transmission in a number of applications. Applications such as the manufacturing sector, healthcare, aerospace, robotics, and CNC machines require wired sensors as they provide constant, reliable data in these conditions. This makes them very suitable for use in applications where the availability of useful information is of utmost importance.
Robotics segment is expected to grow at highest CAGR in position sensor market.
The robotics segment is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the position sensor market due to the increasing demand for automation and cobots. With these sensors, the complicated movements of robots can be controlled with precision and safety during operations such as assembly, welding, and material handling. This is driven by the application of robots in mass production, customization using industrial robots, and the application of ASRS. Encoders, potentiometers, and resolvers are basic types of position sensors serving to sense and control robotic positions. Thus, robotics segments are expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
China in the Asia Pacific region is projected to dominate the position sensor market.
China holds the leading position in position sensors across the Asia Pacific region due to the favorable position of the country as the manufacturing hub of the world and basically influencing industrial automation. Initiatives such as Made in China 2025 generate the need for position sensors in industrial robotic handling, assembly automation and quality control applications. Furthermore, Chinese authority in automotive manufacture propagates the implementation of position sensors in manufacturing lines. Its market position is backed by companies that include Dongfeng Motors, Lenovo and AVIC. Thus, the position sensor market in China is leading the market growth in the Asia Pacific region.
