DUBLIN, Nov. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2jsk5b/proximity_sensor) has announced the addition of the "Proximity Sensor Market by Technology, Product type, Sensing Range, Application & Geography - Global trend & forecast to 2020" report to their offering.
The proximity sensor market is expected to reach USD 3.7 Billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 5.3% between 2015 and 2020. Industrial manufacturing and automotive are expected to be the major contributors in the proximity sensor market. Ultrasonic is the fastest-growing technology in the proximity sensor market.
Proximity sensors are used to detect the presence of metallic or non-metallic objects. Proximity sensors do not require any physical contact to detect an object, unlike traditional sensors which require physical contact to detect an object resulting in longer lifetime as there is no wear and tear. Proximity sensors are designed to offer accurate and repeatable operation to help achieve efficient, effective production.
The proximity sensor market has been segmented based on sensing distance (0 mm-20mm, 20 mm-40mm, and greater than 40 mm), technology (inductive, capacitive, magnetic, photoelectric, ultrasonic, and others), industry (aerospace & defense, automotive, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, building automation, industrial manufacturing, and others), and geography.
The key players in the market include Avago Technologies Inc. (Singapore), IFM Electronic GmbH (Germany), Schneider Electric (France), Panasonic Corporation (Japan), Balluff GmbH (Germany.), Hans Turck GmbH & CO., KG. (Germany), Pepperl + Fuchs GmbH (Germany), Rockwell Automation (U.S.), Omron Corporation (Japan), Honeywell International Inc. (U.S.), Fargo Controls (U.S.), and Sick AG ( Germany).
