OPTICAL ENCODER ICS MARKET OVERVIEW

Global Optical Encoder ICS Market size was USD 0.27 Billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch 0.48 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.6% during the forecast period.

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

For many years, optical encoders have been the most widely used option in the motion control industry. They are made up of photodetectors positioned on either side of an encoder disc and an LED light source, which is commonly infrared. This disk's lines and slots alternate between transparent and opaque, and it is made of glass or plastic. The alternating lines or slots on the disc cause the LED light path to be broken during disc rotation, which results in the production of the standard square wave A & B quadrature pulses used to gauge shaft rotation and speed.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Imposed Restrictions in the Economy Resulted in Decline in the Market 

The COVID-19 outbreak caused temporary business closures as well as supply chain and manufacturing disruptions, which in turn reduced the development of telecom infrastructure and had a negative effect on the sales and marketing efforts of rugged phone companies competing in the market. The effects were severe, particularly for startups and small- to medium-sized businesses operating in this industry. Companies did, however, make a lot of restructuring efforts to address the supply chain difficulties and improve collaboration with suppliers and partners to lessen the negative market impact.

LATEST TRENDS

Growth of the market in recent years

According to FMI analysis, the optical encoder market's expected BPS change for H1 2022 will be a fall of 20 units. Significant security issues are the main factor impeding the optical encoder market's expansion. These encoders are complex electronic instruments that require expert handling. Additionally, covid 19 had a significant negative impact on optical encoder output because to a drop in exports and supply chain disruptions. In addition, it is expected that the market will expand by 30 points in H1-2022 compared to H1-2021. Improved resolution and accuracy in optical and magnetic technologies are becoming increasingly necessary. The market for optical encoders is expected to grow as a result of the expanding use of advanced motion control systems.
