AUTOMOBILE CURRENT SENSOR MARKET OVERVIEW

The global automobile current sensor market size was valued at approximately USD 0.46 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1.83 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 16.7% from 2025 to 2033.

Automobile current sensors are the device which measures the electric current flow in the electric circuit of the vehicle. Not only in the electric vehicles but they are used in conventional vehicles also. Every vehicle needs a power supply for almost every function of the vehicle. This sensor ensures low power wastage and efficient use of power. The increased demand for electric vehicles and strict emission regulatory policy of the government are the reasons for the increased growth in the automobile current sensor market.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Reduced Demand During COVID-19 Period led to Suspension of Operations at Manufacturer Level. 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The restrictions were imposed globally as a result of COVID-19. People were forced to stay at home. It resulted in a decline in work, travel, and overall vehicle utilization activities. The fact that there was less demand for vehicles had a big impact on vehicle sales as well. As a result, automobiles and other electrical equipment manufacturers had to suspend production or operate at a reduced capacity. Thus, the global demand for automotive current sensors was not as high as expected. When the situation normalized and operations resumed, the need for automotive current sensors grew and the global market continued to grow.

LATEST TRENDS

Improved Battery Performance Monitoring and Power Distribution in Hybrid Vehicles To Propel Market Growth

A latest trend in the automobile current sensor market is the introduction of more accurate and higher performing automobile current sensors. There is a high demand in the market for electric & hybrid vehicles. But the demand will increase more when the battery will perform better and will be more energy efficient. These sensors play an important role in rising battery efficiency. Technology advancement in sensor technology such as accurate and efficient battery performance monitoring & more sustainable power distribution in vehicles are needed.

AUTOMOBILE CURRENT SENSOR MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Depending on the automobile current sensor market given are types: Hall-Effect Current Sensors, AMR Current Sensors, GMR Current Sensors, TMR Current Sensors, & Others

• Hall-Effect Current Sensors: Hall effect current sensors use hall effect. They are preferred for non contact measurement of current. In hall effect open loop and closed loop both current sensors are available. Hall effect current sensors consume high power compared to other current sensor.

• AMR Current Sensors: They are called as antisotropic magnetoresistance current sensors. They are known for their high reliability. They have the ability to measure both AC and DC currents. They are more sensitive and energy efficient than hall effect current sensors.

• GMR Current Sensors: They are called giant magnetoresistance current sensors. They are known for their small and compact size. Hence can be applicable to a variety of devices. They provide a quick response and produce very low noise.

• TMR Current Sensors: TMR current sensors are called as tunneling magnetoresistance current sensors. Compared to hall effect, AMR and GMR they are preferred for their highest accuracy, highest speed and lowest power consumption. They are ideal for a wide range of applications.

By Application

Based on application the global market can be categorized into Conventional Vehicles, & Electric Cars.

• Conventional Vehicles: In conventional vehicles the current sensors are used for the basic fundamental purpose. The difference lies in the design, requirement and application. Here they are used to monitor the health of the battery, measure the current output, load management of headlights and others.

• Electric Cars: In electric vehicles current sensors are used for the basic fundamental purpose and other motor function monitoring. The difference lies in the design, requirement and application. Here they are used to monitor the health of the battery, measure the current output, load management of headlights, measure current in motors, efficient current flow during charging the vehicle.

DRIVING FACTORS

Growth in Numbers of EV and Hybrid Vehicles Purchase Boost the Market

One of the key driving factors in the global automobile current sensor market is the increased number of EV and hybrid vehicles purchase. People are preferring electric and hybrid vehicles over conventional IC engine vehicles. This is due to the reason that the running cost of an EV is less compared to conventional vehicles. This cost effectiveness factor is changing the game in the automobile current sensor market. Demanding more reliable and accurate technologically advanced current sensors for the vehicles. The technologically advanced current sensors optimise the power distribution and consumption in the vehicles.

Strict Emission Regulation Imposed by Government Expand the Market

Another driving factor in the automobile current sensor market is the strict emission regulation norms imposed by the government. This demands vehicles to be more power efficient reducing the power consumption level per vehicle. To optimise the power consumption the accurate measures of electric current flow in the circuit is needed. These measures will help to reduce the power wastage. Hence making automobile current sensors more efficient, accurate and technologically advanced is a need of an hour. This overall energy efficiency situation will contribute to the compliance with the stringent emission regulation norms imposed by the governments all over the world.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Higher Cost of the Automobile Current Sensors impacts Market Growth

One of the key restraining factors in the global automobile current sensor market is the high cost of the sensors. When it comes to buying vehicles many people are cost sensitive. As the demand of people for more cost effective and energy effective vehicles is increasing there is a need to make more advanced sensor technology. But the challenge is to make these sensors within budget to make it affordable for all. The more advanced technology you need you will have to spend more money. Hence there is a need to lower the overall production cost if you want to see more growth in the market.
