Encoder Market

Encoder market was estimated at USD 2,063 million in 2020 and projected to grow at 10.3% CAGR during the forecast period.

Encoder Market Overview

The encoder is a signal device that converts motion into an electric signal by providing feedback, and control devices can read that in the motion control system. For instance, in the bottle and jars filling process, feedback provided by the encoder tells the filling machine about the container’s position. Moreover, it measures the position, while speed, acceleration, and direction can be derived from the position either in rotary or linear motion. The encoder is used in a wide range of equipment across many industries. It usually comprises of plastic and metal housing to protect the electronics and operates on magnetic or optical principles and has a variety of mounting face options depending on application requirement.

Major Encoder Market Drivers

The factors driving the global encoder market include increasing demand for automated industrial machines and robotics for accuracy, speed, and control across industries. For instance, Renishaw plc stated that their position encoder product line achieves good growth due to the recovery of the semiconductor market. According to the Congressional Research Service, in 2019, U.S. semiconductor firms were responsible for the largest share (47%) of the USD 412 billion global market. To meet the advanced manufacturing process, equipment manufacturers have stepped up investment in the development of the new products. For instance, one of the leading players FRABA B.V., whose POSITAL brand leading provider of position sensor and energy harvesting technology, closed its FY2020 with 3% overall growth.  The encoder is majorly used in food & beverages, automotive, pharmaceutical, packaging, and printing industries. The end-user industries need cost-effective and error-free operations to meet the demand of customers. For instance, Sick AG offers high resolution AFS/AFM60 EtherCar absolute encoder in food & beverage industries. It takes high-precision measurements of the absolute position and speed of the conveyor belt.

Restraint in the Encoder Market

However, the encoder can be complex and contain some delicate parts, and this makes them less tolerant of inductive abuse and restrict their allowable temperature. This factor can act as a restraint and hamper the market growth.

Type- Segment Analysis

Based on the type, the rotary segment is expected to grow at the higher CAGR in the global Encoder market during the forecast period. The increase in industrial automation in various industries such as automotive, electronics, packaging, and healthcare will propel the market growth of rotary encoders as they measure the rotation, angular speed, or position of moving components in a wide range of applications. The new generation of magnetic rotary encoder will propel the market growth as its operation based on effective magnetic detection principle is absolute for use where measurement of accuracy, small size, or durability in harsh conditions is required.

End-Use Industry – Segment Analysis

Based on the end-use industry, electronics segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR over the forecast period. In electronics industry, encoders are widely used in office equipment such as printers, scanner, and others. Printing equipment generally measures and generates images with resolutions measured in dots per inch or pixel per inch. When specifying rotary encoders for certain printing applications, the disk resolution is usually correlated to print resolution. Various inkjet printing system use a rotary encoder to track the motion of object to be printed. This enables the print head to apply the image to precisely controlled location on the object. Several companies such as Encoder Product Company, Dynapar, Schneider Electric, and others offers encoder for printers and scanners.
