Latin America Proximity Sensors Market Analysis

The Latin America Proximity Sensors Market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.25% during the forecast period.

  • Latin America is witnessing a digital transformation in both the public and private sectors to stay competitive in the global economic market. Mexico, Brazil, Panama, Argentina, Columbia, and Chile are among the leading countries in the region that are involved in adopting and promoting advanced solutions in their countries.
  • In addition, improved efficiency and reduction in production costs, when compared to the conventional manufacturing process, is boosting the growth of industrial automation. At manufacturing sites, unforeseen facility stoppages are a major management issue directly linked to lost production opportunities. Thus, manufacturers are looking for ways to utilize smart devices and IoT to maintain and improve facility operation rates without relying on human experience or skills.
  • Automation offers improved quality, standardization, and dependable products within the given time at a much lower cost. As proximity sensors play a major role in the monitoring and production of efficiency tasks, the market for proximity sensors is witnessing an expansion. For instance, SICK AG offers Inductive Proximity sensors, which is used in almost every area of factory and logistics automation. From cylindrical and rectangular standard sensors to special sensors for explosive zones and harsh environments, these sensors provide the intelligent, reliable route in implementing industry-specific and customized solutions to any automation scheme.
  • The recent outbreak of COVID-19/Corona is influencing both the demand and production of the semiconductor industry. North America region hold a significant share in the semiconductor and electronics industry. The import and export has suuferred due to lack of production and us[pply chain disruptions. However, the demand for these sensors has increased due to the emphasis on the ability to automate monitoring of new safety policies, while empowering employees as part of the new normal in business operations. This has helped vendors to generate a new revenue stream and cope up to in terms of business continuity.

Latin America Proximity Sensors Industry Overview

The Latin American Proximity Sensors Market is moderately fragmented due to comparatively lower industrial growth as compared to other regions such as North America and Europe and the presence of international players. However, the competition is expected to grow over the forecast period due to the improving industrial scenario in the region.

  • June 2020 - Zebra Technologies Corporation, a company with solutions and partners that enable businesses to gain a performance edge, launched Zebra MotionWorks Proximity. The solution offers proximity sensing with user-level alerting and contact tracing to enable employers to help protect their employees' health while in the work environment.
  • May 2019 - STMicroelectronics launched SensorTile.box making IoT sensing accessible and ready to connect to Microsoft's Azure. The module connects with Bluetooth low energy to a smartphone, allows users to watch the sensors function as various sensors.

Latin America Proximity Sensors Industry Segmentation

A proximity sensor is a sensor that is able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. For sensing objects, this sensor radiates or emits a beam of electromagnetic radiation, usually in the form of infrared light, and detects the reflection to determine the object's proximity or distance from the sensor. A proximity sensor often emits an electromagnetic field or a beam of electromagnetic radiation (for instance, infrared) and detects changes in the field or return signal. The study considers only B2B facet of proximity sensors usage and not B2C.
