Proximity Sensor Market Segmentation:
Inductive proximity sensor to hold the largest market share in the Technology segment in the proximity sensor market during the forecast period.
Inductive sensors are used for safety applications, such as detecting metallic objects in hazardous areas, preventing accidents, and ensuring the safety of the workers. The major companies offering inductive proximity sensors are OMRON Corporation, KEYENCE CORPORATION, Panasonic Corporation, SICK AG, Rockwell Automation, Balluff Automation India Pvt. Ltd., and Pepperl+Fuchs SE. Increasing industrial automation demands fuel demand for inductive proximity sensors. IFR has announced that according to the latest World Robotics report, 553,052 new industrial robots were installed in factories worldwide.
<10 mm segment to hold the largest market share in the Range segment in the proximity sensor market during the forecast period.
This means that proximity sensors are intrinsic parts of modern automotive systems; however, significant applications include keyless entry and interior object detection. Companies like Tesla, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz apply the sensors, giving way to auto-unlocking and engine start in the presence of a critical fob sensed at a close range. For example, Tesla has used capacitive proximity sensors in the Model S for keyless entry and ignition to maximize convenience and safety. Equally, thanks to the capacitive proximity sensors in use, BMW's Comfort Access system helps users to unlock and fire up their vehicle without removing the key fob from their pocket or purse. The addition of sophisticated features impels the automotive proximity sensors market, as these sensors are highly required to improve vehicle functionality and user experience.
The proximity sensor industry in the Asia Pacific is estimated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period.
The Asia Pacific region will likely register the largest CAGR in the proximity sensor industry from 2024 to 2030. Proximity sensors are in demand in China because of the aggressive adoption of Industry 4.0, which has broken all conventional boundaries of automation and control principles in process and manufacturing industries. The "China Manufacturing 2025" initiative espouses China's commitment to changing its manufacturing sector into a global leader that is powerfully innovative and efficient.
