Report Overview
Proximity sensors are used for detecting presence of the object of interest near the
periphery of the sensor. A displacement sensor is capable of measuring the absolute
as well as relative displacement of the object of interest. The function of proximity and
displacement sensors are featured with contact as well as contactless detection and
measurement. Today, the market for proximity and displacement sensors is evolving.
The application area of proximity and displacement sensors has significantly expanded
owing to the growing trend of factory and process automation across all industries.
The market for proximity and displacement sensors is witnessing the largest demand
from automobile and electronics manufacturing industries in Asia-Pacific region.
Proximity and displacement sensors are majorly used in construction of smart
electronic equipment which plays key role in improving its operational as well as
energy efficiency. The growing demand towards energy efficient equipment such as
elevators and escalators has significantly expanded the application areas of these
sensors. According to apacmarket.com, in 2014, the market was estimated at $1.015
billion for Asia-Pacific region and is expected to reach $1.77 billion by 2020.
The proximity and displacement sensors are segmented into six basic types- inductive,
photoelectric, capacitive, magnetic, ultrasonic and LVDT. Inductive sensors are majorly
used to detect metallic objects while photoelectric sensors are used to detect nonmetallic object in their field of operation. With adoption in large set of applications,
photoelectric and inductive sensors are expected to maintain the largest market share
during the analysis period 2014-2020.
The application industries studied in the report include parking sensor systems, ground
proximity warning system, anti-aircraft warfare, roller coasters, conveyor systems,
vibration monitoring systems, assembly line testing, mobile devices and others
(detection of surface run-out of blades, precision thickness measurement, and disc
driving spindle). Parking sensor system holds the maximum revenue share presently,
followed by mobile device and conveyor system.
The proximity and displacement sensors market, in accordance to end users, is
segmented into industries such as automotive, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper, food &
beverages, manufacturing, elevators & escalators and metals & mining. The
automobile and manufacturing industries hold a high market share owing to high unit
cost and demand of proximity and displacement sensors.
Based on country, the Asia-Pacific market is segmented across China, Japan, India,
South Korea, Australia and rest of Asia-Pacific countries, which include Malaysia,
Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand. China with 38 percent of market share in 2014,
would continue to maintain its dominating position in Asia-Pacific proximity and

displacement sensors market owing to the high concentration of industrial sectors.

The prominent players in the Asia-Pacific market are ifm Electronics GmbH, Kaman
Corporation, Keyence Corporation, SICK Sensor Intelligence, Micron Optics, Inc.,
Omron Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, Pepperl+Fuchs, Standex-Meder
Electronics Inc. and Turck Inc. These key players are profiled in the report with detailed
information on their business overview, product portfolios, financials, investments,
news and recent developments.
