Overview of the global motion control sensors market
The increasing application of non-contact type motion control sensors will be one of the key motion control sensors market drivers in the coming years. Non-contact type motion sensors such as proximity sensors are gaining a huge demand in applications such as printing, labeling, and material handling because they do not require any close contact with products or goods. The adoption of non-contact type motion control sensors will continue to increase because they last longer and can be reused for an extensive period. In addition, non-contact type motion control sensors are also used for measuring the fluid level in the chemical and oil and gas industries. The motion control sensors market report predicts the market to grow at a CAGR of more than 4% during the forecast period.
APAC is witnessing an increase in the industrial activity. This will boost the demand for precise motion control systems in applications such as material handling, robotics, semiconductor machinery, packaging and labeling, and rubber and plastics molding machinery during the estimated period. The market will continue to grow in the region since motion control systems reduce the cost of labor and also improve the overall productivity of industries.
Competitive landscape and key vendors
The motion control sensors market is fragmented and is characterized by the presence of global as well as regional vendors. The existing small, medium, and large multi-national players are increasingly offering different technologies in motion control sensors across end-user industries.
