Photoelectric Sensor Market Analysis
The photoelectric sensor market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period of 2021-2026. There is a significant increase in the trend of automation. As sensors play the most critical role in every aspect of automation, the photoelectric sensor market is expected to witness growth during the forecast period.
- Photoelectric sensors are used for contour and edge detection, film thickness detection, anti-collision, safety, and people detection, height and level measurement, orientation, and position detection, and counting in various industries in order to increase efficiency and accuracy across industries.
- The reflective photoelectric sensor is the fastest-growing segment as they offer the cheapest sensing solution among all other categories of photoelectric sensors. Growing demand for industrial automation and increased adoption of nanotechnology are also some of the growth drivers for retroactive photoelectric sensors in the market. However, competent alternative technologies such as inductive, capacitive, ultrasonic, which serve the relatively same purpose, can hinder the growth of the market.
- Due to the recent shut down of businesses across the world, owing to the influence of COVID-19 is expected to influence the photoelectric sensor market negatively due to a decline in demand from various industries and disrupted supply chain as production came to a halt from February and March. This is also expected to impact prices over time. With the increasing number of cases in the United States, the North American electronics industry is under pressure due to the lack of supply of raw materials and products as the global supply chain is disrupted.
