The current sensor market is expected to grow from USD 2.4 billion by 2019 to USD 3.6 billion by 2024 at a CAGR of 8.34%. The increasing use of battery-powered applications and renewable energy forms, and growing market for Hall effect current sensors are among the key driving factors for this market. Moreover, the growth of automotive electronic control systems and new vehicle technologies, and large-scale commercialization of IoT and IIoT are among the other factors fueling the market growth.
The current sensor market, by type (1), is segmented into open-loop and closed-loop current sensors. The open-loop current sensors are expected to witness significant growth in the market during the forecast period as they provide a cost advantage over a closed-loop sensor in high current ranges (over 100 A). The sensors of this type are small in size and light in weight, and maintain constant power consumption, irrespective of the current levels.
Building automation, smart homes, solar power, wind power, and HVAC systems are the major current measurement applications in the energy sector. Also, there is a growing shift toward generating electricity from renewable energy sources. As a result, current sensor providers are expected to have high growth opportunity owing to their application-specific properties, such as high accuracy, sensitivity, and stability, and faster response time.
APAC is expected to account for the largest share of the current sensor market during the forecast period. The market in this region is also expected to witness significant growth during 20192024. The population growth and rapid urbanization in developing economies, such as China and Japan, have prompted the speedy development in the region, which will boost the demand for current sensor from verticals such as energy, automotive, telecom and networking, industrial, and healthcare.
Key players in the current sensor market include Asahi Kasei Microdevices (Japan), Melexis (Belgium), Allegro Microsystems (US), Siliocn Labs (US), LEM International (Switzerland), Sensitec (Germany), Koshin Electrin (Japan). Asahi Kasei Microdevices (Japan) is a leader in the current sensing industry. The company has shown consistent growth in the market by demonstrating capability to serve new markets, and its product launches and promotional activities have boosted its revenue growth.
