Market Synopsis

The global optical position sensor market was valued at USD 1,462.3 million in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 2,648.4 million by the end of forecast period with a CAGR of 11.08%.

The rapid growth of industrial automation is expected to create huge demand for optical position sensor. Optical Position Sensor Market is used for monitoring linear, angular and rotary movement on the factory floor. The need for optical position sensor for controlling application is rising due to continuous development in industrial automation. Optical position sensor is used in optical encoders to provide position feedback for actuators. It consists of a plastic disc or glass which rotates between a light source and light receiver which is a photodetector. Optical position sensor provides fast response as it is a non-contact type and does not need to encounter friction. Furthermore, it is light-weighted and provides a large number of counts which provides more accurate results. Optical position sensor is extensively being used in consumer electronics, especially wearables. Therefore, the rapid growth of wearables market is expected to positively impact the growth of this market. However, one of the challenges related to optical position sensor is its failure to perform in robust environment, where there is a high probability of lens or grating system being covered by foreign particles such as water, dirt, or swarf.

The optical position sensor also finds application in automotive sector where it is used in vehicles to improve the safety and aid while driving. Optical position sensor is used in vehicle headlamp dipswitch to change the beam focus in case of approaching car in the field of view. With the growth of autonomous vehicles, tremendous demand for optical position sensors is expected during the forecast period.
