The global magnetic sensor market was worth USD 4.78 billion in 2023. The global market is predicted to reach USD 5.20 billion in 2024 and USD 10.14 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 8.7% during the forecast period.
The magnetic sensor, also known as a magnetic field sensor, is classified in terms of measuring a full magnetic field or vector components of the magnetic field. Permanent magnets like neodymium magnets are used to activate magnetic sensors in various applications. The magnetic sensor is often employed to identify the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field. Increased demand for IoT and the production of high-quality consumer electronics, electric and hybrid vehicles, and detection devices worldwide are influencing the adoption of magnetic sensors in various end-user industries. This is supposed to stimulate the growth of the global magnetic sensors market during the forecast period. The rise in the adoption of robotics for factory automation, due to the policies of Industry 4.0, increases the need for magnetic sensors for various security applications on the world market.
Also, in the automotive industry, vehicle safety systems play an essential role as they are used for user safety. Therefore, they are widely installed in several countries, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and Japan. Some of the other important applications of magnetic sensors in the automotive industry are vehicle position detection, automatic machine inspection, electronic stability control (ESC) systems, tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), and other vehicle manufacturing systems. The development of the service sector and the high growth rate of data centers and cloud providers further increase the demand for these sensors to be deployed in the power distribution unit (PDU), which is a crucial part of data centers. In addition, it is believed that the mandatory regulations of government agencies, such as the installation of safety equipment and detection elements in cars, create significant opportunities for the growth of the market studied.
In the case of automotive applications, GMR and TMR sensors have shown less energy consumption in continuous operation. They can also be easily accommodated in smaller package sizes than their counterparts; therefore, they see the increasing deployment of these sensors in auto parts. The demand for magnetic sensors is foreseen to increase in the automotive industry. Detection devices are increasingly used in this industry to improve vehicle comfort and fuel efficiency. Magnetic sensor suppliers focus on providing efficient devices that can serve a wide range of applications. The increased demand and penetration of electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as the use of GPS in cars, can also fuel the demand for magnetic sensors in the automotive industry.
The market for magnetic sensors is likely to experience price erosion in the coming years. The fall in the average sales price is due to the pressure at which the manufacturers of magnetic sensors provide services to various end-user industries, such as automotive, consumer electronics, manufacturing, medicine, aerospace, and defense, face the reduction of the cost of your final application. It is estimated that the ASP of all magnetic sensors has fallen to 10.28% year-on-year compared to 2016. Intense competition is another reason that has reduced the prices of magnetic sensors. It is difficult for new players to enter the market, which faces such price competitiveness. Despite the drop in average sales prices, the market should generate a significant demand from sectors such as the automobile and consumer electronics. The main challenges for companies operating in this segment are increasing their manufacturing capacity, providing better quality products, and reducing the overall cost of production.
