ROTARY ENCODER MARKET OVERVIEW 

The global rotary encoder market size, valued at USD 2.75 billion in 2024, is expected to climb to USD 5.92 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 8.87% during the forecast period.

A shaft encoder is another name for a rotary encoder. It is described as an electromechanical switch that transforms the angular motion and axle position into a digital signal or advanced encoding output. A rotary encoder produces an electrical signal, either analogue or digital, based on the rotating movement.

Due to emerging technologies like robots and smart manufacturing, demand for rotary encoders in industrial end-use applications like manufacturing is rising quickly. The path of the permanent magnet motor shaft is frequently monitored by a rotary encoder in the context of CNC machines (industrial software and robotics).

COVID-19 IMPACT

Covid-19 Health Catastrophe Inhibit Market Growth

The severe health catastrophe brought on by the coronavirus (COVID-19) is still spreading and affecting people all over the world. The COVID-19's possible effects, which could include delays in the ongoing and planned construction schedule, significant supply chain disruptions, labour problems, a delay in obtaining necessary permissions, and the availability of funding.

The pandemic has a significant negative impact on several industries, including the transportation, aviation, and tourism sectors. For instance, according to the World Travel and Tourism Council, the crisis will cost the travel and tourism industry at least USD 22 billion and up to 25% of its 2020 revenue, which will result in the loss of 50 million jobs.

LATEST TRENDS

High Accuracy And Technological Advancements May Leads To Enhance Market Growth

If 3D printers significantly improve their accuracy, the technology might advance and eventually result in a better scale. This result in lower particle sizes and dimensions with shorter processing times, which can increase the use of magnetic encoders in applications involving large volumes of data.

The use of the 36mm and 58mm encoders is predicted to increase with interface standardization. Due to this, their functionality will be varied from very low and somewhat less in comparison to those of the competitors' products.

DRIVING FACTORS

Strong Robotics Industry Supporting Encoder Industry Growth

Encoders are widely utilized in a variety of sectors to speed up production and guarantee accuracy. They are employed for filling, conveying, motor feedback, x-y positioning, and registration mark timing, among other things, in the thriving food and beverage industry, which is assisting market expansion. Encoders are also used to implement the Internet of things (IoT), which allows devices to receive position and information, hence accelerating market expansion. Moreover, the industry for encoders is being boosted by the growing usage of computer numerical control (CNC) machines. The market is expanding due in part to the robust growth of the robotics sector and the extensive usage of encoders within it.

Growing computing and technology research and development (R&D) has made upkeep and installation possible.

Expanding Automotive Sector Leading Market Growth

A position sensor known as a rotary encoder is utilized to deliver electrical outputs that are related to shaft rotation, precisely measuring angles and pedal position. These sensors are utilised in the automobile industries for a variety of controls, including those for the rotary switch, mode selection, volume control, wiper motor, headlight position control, seat position motor, side mirror, and throttle position control. The International Energy Agency estimates that 3.29 million electric vehicles were in use worldwide in 2018 and that number will rise to 125 million by 2030. As a result, the expansion of the automotive sector will fuel the growth of the rotary encoder market.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Product Distinction Is Lacking, Hampering The Market Expansion

The lack of product differentiation is one of the factors restricting growth in the market for rotary encoders. Since rotary encoders are used in such large quantities in the electronics, aerospace, automotive, and other industries, consumers purchase these goods in bulk. Rotary encoders have a wide range of applications and potential uses. Since many major businesses provide comparable technological products, customers have a wide range of possibilities. In order to compete with big manufacturers for the vast volume of these products, pricing pressure is put on manufacturers. The pressure on manufacturers' prices as a result presents a problem.
