價格

根據 Stratistics MRC 的數據,2022 年全球光學位置傳感器市場規模將達到 24.2 億美元,預測期內以 11.0% 的複合年增長率增長,預計到 2028 年將達到 45.4 億美元。 傳感器系統中使用的最新技術是光學位置傳感器。 光學位置傳感器經常用於找到所需的目標位置。 這種傳感器非常有效,可以在不接觸物體的情況下定位物體。 光學位置傳感器經常用於安裝在汽車、家用電器、醫療設備、飛機等中的半導體芯片和模塊。

根據國際機器人聯合會 (IFR) 的數據,2017 年全球供應了超過 374,000 台工業機器人。 此外,近年來,對高利潤汽車業務的國際投資急劇增加。

市場動態

驅動程序

增加目標層的坡度

由於各種趨勢和市場狀況,預計目標受眾將對光學位置傳感器市場的趨勢更感興趣。 根據潛在投資者和公司高管在封閉預測期內所做的預測,大多數在全球參與地區運營的製造商和單位都對自動化有著迫切的需求。我來了。 因此,這開始成為推動全球光學位置傳感器市場增長的潛在關鍵因素。 通過幫助監測能量水平和機器運行狀況,位置傳感器自動化可以幫助提高設備的整體效率。

抑製劑

高精度

由於輔助同時保持和實現高精度、國際法規差異擴大以及操作過程中出現機械故障的風險等因素,該市場並未在最終用戶中擴大,預計這一趨勢將在預測期內持續. 此外,缺乏產品差異化和替代產品的可用性可能是市場面臨的最大和最緊迫的問題。

機會

各種應用領域對光學位置傳感器的需求不斷增長。

隨著光學位置傳感器用於汽車、家用電器、醫療設備、飛機等,對這些傳感器的需求正在增加。 這些傳感器由於尺寸小、可靠性高和功耗低而常用於消費電子系統。 預計這些因素將推動未來的市場擴張。

威脅

替代品的興起

國際上光學位置傳感器市場面臨的最大問題之一是光學傳感器替代品的出現。 光學位置傳感器體積龐大,無法集成到測量儀器中,有很多應用,尤其是半導體製造和醫療保健領域,是光學位置傳感器無法解決的。 此外,這些傳感器通常過於堅硬,無法在這些設備內部進行引導。 隨著對設備和工具小型化的需求不斷增加,其他行業已經轉向非常靈活的小型傳感器。 光學位置傳感器市場的預計擴張將受到對更小傳感器的需求和產量增加的限制。

COVID-19 的影響

COVID-19 大流行對幾乎所有全球光學位置傳感器市場都產生了不利影響,預計將在預測期內對市場增長產生長期影響。 根據該論文,由於消費者行為和需求、購買習慣、供應鏈重組、行業趨勢和政府行為等變化,正在重新評估 COVID-19。 該報告審視了 COVID-19 對全球光學位置傳感器市場的影響,包括洞察、分析、預測和預測。

2D 段預計在預測期內最大

據估計,2D 細分市場將實現有利可圖的增長。 光學位置傳感器將光波轉換為電信號以傳達物體的位置。 要麼將光信號從被觀察物體傳輸到接收器,要麼將發射器發射的光信號傳輸到對面的接收器。 二維傳感器不僅可以獲取物體的大小,還可以通過反射光來獲取物體的位置。 消費電子產品不斷增長的需求、對可穿戴技術的日益接受以及對用於監控應用的高性能傳感器的需求正在推動二維光學位置傳感器的全球市場。

預計消費電子領域在預測期內的複合年增長率最高

由於消費電子產品的使用量增加和價格下降,預計消費電子產品領域在預測期內將以最快的複合年增長率增長。 隨著消費者生活方式的改變,對智能設備的需求也在增加。 這增加了對光學位置傳感器的需求,光學位置傳感器是智能電子設備的重要組成部分。

市場份額最高的地區

由於智能手機和台式電腦等消費電子產品以及工業生產的區域市場快速增長,預計亞太地區在預測期內將佔據最大的市場份額。 在亞洲,製造業外包給勞動力成本低的新興國家預計將導致對高端、專業技術和傳感器的強勁需求。 中國強勁的工業發展和現代工業機械的巨大市場規模預計將在預測期內推動該地區的增長。

複合年增長率最高的地區

由於半導體行業的持續技術進步,預計北美在預測期內的複合年增長率最高。 北美預計將成為光學位置傳感器的第二大消費市場。

主要發展

2019 年 6 月,Hamamatsu Photonics 開發了用於高光譜相機的最長波長檢測型 InGaAs 區域圖像傳感器,可以檢測到 2.55 微米的短波長紅外線。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Optical Position Sensors Market is accounted for $2.42 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.54 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 11.0% during the forecast period. The most recent technology used in the sensor system is the optical position sensor. To find the location of the needed target, optical position sensors are frequently utilised. These kinds of sensors are incredibly effective and can determine an object's position without coming into contact with it. In semiconductor chips and modules found in products like autos, consumer electronics, medical equipment, and aircraft, optical position sensors are frequently employed.

According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), over 374 thousand industrial robots were supplied around the world in 2017. Furthermore, international investments in the high-revenue vehicle business have increased dramatically in recent years.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing inclination of the target audience

Due to a variety of trends and market circumstances, it is anticipated that the target audience's interest in optical position sensor market trends would develop. According to the forecasts made by prospective investors and company executives during the forecast period that has ended, the majority of manufacturing players and units operating across participating global regions are developing a desperate need for automation. As a result, this is starting to emerge as potential major factors that will motivate the global optical position sensor market growth. By assisting in the monitoring of energy levels together with the operating conditions of machinery, automation for position sensors helps to improve the overall efficacy of equipment.

Restraint:

Highest accuracy level

The market isn't growing among end-users due to factors like maintaining and achieving a high degree of accuracy while offering assistance, as well as others like growing differences in international regulations and risks related to mechanical failures while operating, and this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period. The market's largest and most urgent challenge will also be the absence of product differentiation and the accessibility of product alternatives.

Opportunity:

Rise in need for optical position sensors among different application areas

The use of optical position sensors in autos, consumer electronics, medical equipment, and aircraft has raised the need for these sensors. These sensors are commonly used in consumer electronic systems because of their small size, dependability, and low power consumption. During the anticipated period, these elements are expected to stimulate market expansion.

Threat:

Rising Substitutes

The emergence of optical sensor replacements is one of the biggest problems the optical position sensor market is now facing internationally. Since they are physically too huge to fit in the instruments, many applications of optical position sensors, particularly those in the manufacturing and healthcare sectors of semiconductors, cannot be solved by using them. Furthermore, these sensors are frequently too rigid to be guided through these instruments. The increasing desire for smaller equipment and tools has led to the use of very flexible and tiny sensors in other industries. The forecasted expansion of the optical position sensor market is likely to be constrained by the rising requests for and production of small sensors.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic, which has adversely affected nearly every Global Optical Position Sensors Market, is projected to have long-term implications on market growth over the course of the forecast period. According to the paper, COVID-19 is being reassessed as a result of modifications in consumer behaviour and demand, buying habits, supply chain rerouting, industry trends, and government action. Insights, analyses, projections, and expectations are included in this report that examines COVID-19's effects on the market for optical position sensors worldwide.

The Two Dimensional segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The Two Dimensional segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth. Optical position sensors transmit an object's position by converting light waves into such an electrical signal. Either the light signal is transmitted to the receiver from the object being observed, or the light signal is emitted from an emitter and then conveyed to a receiver on the other end. A two-dimensional sensor provides position information as well as item size via the reflection of a light beam. The need for consumer electronics is rising, the acceptability of wearable technology is rising, and the demand for high-performance sensors for monitoring applications are all driving the global market for two-dimensional optical position sensors.

The consumer electronics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The consumer electronics segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to improved use in domestic appliances and their low price. Smart devices are becoming more necessary as consumer lifestyles change. In turn, this is increasing demand for optical position sensors, which are crucial parts of smart electronic devices.

Region with highest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to consumer electronics like Smartphones and desktop computers and a burgeoning regional market for industrial production. In Asia, there is expected to be a substantial demand for high-end, specialized technology and sensors as manufacturing is outsourced to emerging nations with low labour costs. Strong industrial expansion and a sizable market opportunity for contemporary industrial machinery in China are projected to boost regional growth throughout the forecast period.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to semiconductor industry's continued technical advancements. On the consumer market for optical position sensors, North America is predicted to come in second place.
