Proximity Sensor Market by Technology (Inductive, Capacitive, Magnetic, Photoelectric & Ultrasonic), Product type (Fixed Distance, Adjustable Distance), Sensing Range (0 mm to 20 mm, 20 mm to 40 mm & Greater than 40 mm), Application (Aerospace & Defense, Automotive, Industrial Manufacturing, Food & Beverage, Pharmaceuticals, Consumer Electronics & Building Automation) & Geography - Global trend & forecast to 2020
Proximity sensors are used to detect the presence of metallic or non-metallic objects. Proximity sensors do not require any physical contact to detect an object, unlike traditional sensors which require physical contact to detect an object resulting in longer lifetime as there is no wear and tear. Proximity sensors are designed to offer accurate and repeatable operation to help achieve efficient, effective production. The proximity sensor market has been segmented based on sensing distance (0 mm20mm, 20 mm40mm, and greater than 40 mm), technology (inductive, capacitive, magnetic, photoelectric, ultrasonic, and others), industry (aerospace & defense, automotive, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, building automation, industrial manufacturing, and others), and geography.
The proximity sensor market is expected to reach USD 3.7 Billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2015 and 2020. Industrial manufacturing and automotive are expected to be the major contributors in the market. Ultrasonic is the fastest-growing technology in the market.
