Global Automotive Position Sensor Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies Bosch, Continental, DENSO, Delphi Automotive, HELLA KGaA Hueck & Co, and Sensata Technologies as the key vendors in the global automotive position sensor market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by vehicle type (commercial vehicles and passenger cars) and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global automotive position sensor market

Technavio's research analysis on the global automotive position sensor market identifies that the stringent regulations on emission control will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. The rising environmental and health concerns have led numerous countries across the world to introduce strict emission norms. Lowering the automotive emissions and fuel consumption rates is the primary aim of setting tougher emission norms. The rising adoption of various emission norms drives the demand for automotive position sensors. Moreover, these legislations will mandate the implementation of better powertrain technologies that will increase the position sensor adoption in new vehicles. Developing countries like India are also implementing stringent regulations that will positively impact the position sensor market. For instance, in 2016, the Indian government introduced the adoption of BS-VI norms by skipping BS-V norms by 2020. Our market research analysts predict that this market will grow at a CAGR of close to 7% by 2021.

The rising popularity of hall-effect position sensors is one of the key trends that will gain traction in this market during the next few years. Hall-effect sensors are widely used in the automotive market for different applications and will be a vital component for the automotive position sensor market during the forecast period. For instance, hall effect position sensor is increasingly used in applications such as crankshaft sensor for the firing angle of the spark plug which lead to the growth of the crankshaft sensor market. Also, the hall effect position sensors are used to set the positions of the car seats and seat belts, and in detecting wheel speeds for the anti-lock braking system (ABS).
