A position sensor is a device utilized for position measurement where displacement, distance, position, or length measurements are used to automate, test, or monitor processes. It can either be an absolute position sensor or a relative one (displacement sensor). They are widely used in computer game joysticks, computer hard drives & CD/DVD drives, steering wheels, industrial, and robotics among others. The evolving drift towards automation of processing systems in industries results in high demand for position sensors. Position sensors are applicable in a wide array of automotive and industrial applications including steering wheel position sensing, float-level sensing, and transmission gearbox encoder.

The basic principles of position sensor operation have transformed over the years. The market for these sensors is driven by smaller form factor, less power consumption, higher feature integration, and low cost. Currently, significant investments in R&D by key players have helped to develop smart and intelligent sensor systems for different novel applications in automotive, aerospace & defense, electronics, and healthcare. For instance, in 2016, Balluff announced to launch Micropulse hazardous area linear position sensor, which offers new features such as non-contact, wear-free, magnetostriction technology for long-term reliability, and better performance. Honeywell International offers a broad range of smart position sensors that provide non-contact angular position sensing. In 2016-year end, the company announced that it will be providing tactical advanced land inertial navigator (TALIN), which will be fitted on the Polish Armed Forces command vehicles.

The global position sensor market is segmented on the basis of technology, industry vertical, and geography. Based on technology, it is divided into photoelectric, rotary, linear, proximity, and others. The market by industry comprises automotive, aerospace & defense, electronics, healthcare, manufacturing & packaging, and others. Furthermore, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
