Global Industrial Limit Switches Market 2017-2021

This industry research report identifies ABB, Eaton, Honeywell, Schneider Electric, and Rockwell Automation as the key vendors in the global industrial limit switches market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by application (material handling, machine tools, and process measurement), by product (general purpose limit switches, precision limit switches, and safety limit switches), and by geography (the Americas, APAC, and EMEA).

Overview of the global industrial limit switches market

Technavio’s research analysis on the global industrial limit switches market identifies that the introduction of stringent regulations on employee safety will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. Several regulatory bodies such as OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), and ILO (International Labor Organization) are imposing strict regulations on employee and workplace safety. Also, the rise in the number of industrial accidents have led these regulatory bodies to impose strict regulations on the manufacturing and fabrication industry. These regulations have increased the demand for industrial safety limit switches and many end-users are increasingly using these switches to protect the equipment and offer better workplace safety. This is expected to continue throughout the forecast period and drive the growth of the industrial limit switches market. Our market research analysts predict that this market will post a revenue of more than USD 457 million by 2021.

The Americas will be the major revenue contributor of the industrial limit switches market throughout the forecast period. This is mainly due to the presence of many manufacturing and fabrication industries in countries like the US, Mexico, and Brazil and strict government regulations on employee and workspace safety in the region.
