According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Linear Proximity Sensor market size was valued at US$ 3111 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 6145 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 10.3% during review period.
A linear proximity sensor is a sensor used to measure the change in the position of an object, and can accurately detect the displacement of an object in a straight line. It converts physical displacement into an electrical signal to achieve real-time monitoring of the position. Linear position sensors are usually based on different working principles, such as potentiometer, inductor, capacitor, optical or magnetic, and are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, automotive, aerospace and other fields. Its main function is to provide accurate displacement data for control system adjustment or feedback. Common linear position sensors include potentiometer type, Hall effect type and optical encoder type. The sensor has high accuracy, reliability and durability, and is particularly suitable for application scenarios that require precise position control.
Linear proximity sensors have broad application prospects in the global market, especially in many fields such as industrial automation, robotics, automobile manufacturing, aerospace and energy. With the improvement of the level of intelligence in the global manufacturing industry and the increase in the demand for precise control, the market demand for linear position sensors has steadily increased.
