Encoders are widely utilized in a variety of sectors to speed up production and guarantee accuracy. They are utilised for conveying food and packaging, motor feedback, and register mark timing, among other things, in the expanding food and beverage sector. They are also used for filling, vehicles, new energy vehicle, elevators, machine tools, and motors. Encoders are also used to build the Internet of Things (IoT), which allows devices to receive position and information, hence accelerating market growth. Moreover, the industry for encoders is being boosted by the growing usage of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) equipment.

In even the toughest application situations, a magnetic encoder generates dependable digital feedback. Magnetic encoders employ changes in magnetic fields as the detecting technique, making them significantly more dependable in polluted settings than optical encoders, where the optical code disc might become contaminated by dirt or moisture. While offering output signal dependability and downtime reduction, magnetic encoders thrive in applications that need a wide range of temperature tolerances, strong shocks and vibrations resistance, strong sealing, and contamination protection. Both position and velocity feedback are common uses for magnetic encoders in steel, pulp, paper, and lumber industries. The market is expanding due in part to the rapid expansion of the robotics sector and the significant usage of encoders within it. The market growth for encoders has been accelerated by increased Research and Development (R&D) in computers and technologies that have made robot installation and maintenance simpler and more affordable.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Halt on Demand, Supply, and Manufacturing Operations to Impede Market Growth

The worldwide economy and all global industries have been negatively influenced by COVID-19. Global supply chain disruptions are the result of lockdowns being implemented and the temporary suspension of local and international travel. Due to the sharp drop in product demand, economies all around the world have suffered. The pandemic-related lack of raw materials has curtailed output across many industries. Many companies have been compelled to close their production facilities as a result. The main causes of the output reduction are the fall in shipments and the supply chain interruptions. Therefore, COVID-19 is having an impact on the encoder industry. As a result, the predicted annual market growth rate experienced a decrease during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Increasing Automation to Support the Magnetic Encoder Market Growth

The market is expanding as a result of the rapid adoption of automation in a number of sectors, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare, food and beverages, electronics, and packaging, among others. Encoders are widely employed in several automated applications because they translate motion into electrical feedback signals to monitor speed, counts, direction, and linear distance. Encoders are being used more and more in the automobile sector to boost efficiency, production, and cut costs. Encoders are used to determine position and proximity prompts in automotive vehicles, particularly in cars, and their development and increasing production is expected to support market growth during the forecast period. These vehicles, particularly cars, are equipped with advanced technology and features like Bluetooth and cellular technology. Increasing levels of automation will create favorable opportunities for market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Mechanical Breakdowns in Challenging Conditions Could Restrict the Market Growth

Encoders are frequently employed in demanding or hostile conditions, including those found in the production of specialist vehicles, heavy equipment, and food and beverage processing. Encoder failure rates can potentially be accelerated by changes in the surrounding temperature. Encoders can operate normally in temperatures between -30°C and +100°C. To address this issue, some manufacturers have begun conducting EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) diagnostics on encoders, which involves subjecting them to vibration, consistent shock, dust protective measures, and water jet testing. This testing is done to make sure that the erosive inadequacies that occur in standard encoders won't happen when they are used in harsh environments. These factors may impact the market growth to some extent in the future.
