According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Through-beam Edge Sensor market size was valued at US$ 1237 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 1994 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 7.0% during review period.
In 2025, global sales of through-beam edge sensors reached 185 million units, with an average selling price of $6.50. Through-beam edge sensors are photoelectric sensing devices that form a light curtain or optical axis array by mounting the transmitter and receiver opposite each other. They are used to accurately detect the position, width changes, and discontinuity of the edge of an object. They have the characteristics of fast response, high resolution, and strong anti-interference ability, and are widely used in continuous roll production lines for lithium electrode sheets, films, steel strips, paper, printing, and packaging. Its upstream raw materials mainly include infrared or visible light LEDs, photodiodes, ASIC chips, PCBs, aluminum alloy shells, and optical lenses. On average, each chip consumes 2g, aluminum 45g, and electronic components 18g. Downstream, it mainly supplies automation equipment manufacturers and terminal manufacturers, with lithium batteries and photovoltaics accounting for 38%, packaging and printing accounting for 32%, and metal processing and others accounting for 30%. The global total production capacity is about 300 million units/year, and the industry's gross profit margin is about 35%-45%. In terms of downstream consumption, newly built production lines account for 55%, and the upgrading and maintenance of existing production lines account for 45%. The future lies in higher resolution, longer detection distance, intelligent self-calibration, and bus-based communication. With the expansion of new energy and high-end manufacturing, and the advancement of high-speed and intelligent production lines, the demand for through-beam edge sensors is growing steadily, presenting a business opportunity for both large-scale and high-end development.
