The position sensor market is projected to reach USD 7.3 billion by 2025 from USD 4.7 billion in 2020; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. Increasing focus of the manufacturing industry on accurate measurements and detailed inspection, growing adoption of position sensors in the aviation & aerospace industry, and rising demand for position sensors for modern automobiles are the key factors driving the growth of this market. However, the high cost of ownership is likely to act as the restraint for the market’s growth.

A position sensor is a device that permits the measurement of an absolute or relative position. These sensors are also known as displacement sensors and are used to measure the displacement or position of a moving object or target. Position sensors have numerous applications, such as machine tools, robotics, motion systems, material handling, and test equipment. A few of the major end-user verticals in which position sensors find their applications include manufacturing, automotive, aerospace, packaging, healthcare, electronics, and power and mining.
