Industrial Sensor Market Analysis

Sensors serve a variety of application needs in a factory manufacturing environment. Including predictive maintenance and automation of mechanical production equipment, asset tracking and supply chain, real-time monitoring and calibration, vibration detection and anti-tampering, oil and electricity consumption calculation, and flow calculation and water level monitoring. In recent years, industrial sensors have maintained a high growth rate, but the overall market showed a decline in growth in 2019. 2017~2022 Industrial Sensor Market Scale and Growth In the context of the decline in the overall sensor market growth, there are still bright spots and opportunities. Among them, products with low technical thresholds such as optoelectronics and proximity switches, under the pressure of economic downturn, some customers put the importance of equipment costs in the front, and there are new opportunities for domestic manufacturers' products and foreign manufacturers' economical products. In RFID, machine vision and other products, with the improvement of the degree of automation, the production line that did not need such sensors to be upgraded, resulting in purchase demand; in addition, the development of sensor application scenarios by manufacturers has also brought new opportunities to some traditional sensors. . 1. Industrial sensors will usher in opportunities in 2020. 1: The impact of localization of photoelectric/proximity switches. In recent years, with the technological development of domestic manufacturers, the strength of domestic sensors can already meet the requirements of mid-end customers. With the price advantage Seize the share of foreign manufacturers. In order to cope with the competition, some foreign-funded manufacturers have launched economical products and achieved certain results. Opportunity 2. Sensor manufacturers develop new product types. Unlike in the past, manufacturers focused on sensors that they are good at. In recent years, more and more manufacturers hope to use new products to improve corporate performance. Among them, visual sensors and RFID are the focus of manufacturers. Some manufacturers have launched new products or focused on promoting new products. Opportunity 3: The impact of the epidemic on the sensor market In the first quarter of 2020, sensor sales were greatly affected, and products could not effectively complete sales orders and shipments. For the whole year of 2020, sensors are limited by the impact of the epidemic. The demand for automobiles in the main downstream industries is delayed rather than disappearing. The electronics industry is benefited by the reform of 5G and mobile phone folding screens. The current short-term demand for medical equipment related products such as ventilators is growing. With the global spread of the epidemic, medical equipment manufacturers deserve attention. 2. Market analysis of main types of sensors Photoelectric/proximity switches: basically remain flat, domestic manufacturers increase in photoelectric and proximity switches The overall market in 2019 is basically flat. Affected by the decline in the automotive industry, most German manufacturers and high-end Japanese manufacturers are optoelectronic and proximity switches. The sales performance has slowed down relative to 2018. As a product with a low technical threshold, in 2019 and in the future, foreign manufacturers will gradually show two development directions in the product strategy of photoelectric switches and proximity switches: one is a company with strong technical strength, gradually moving towards customized services or difficult installation environments. Products; another direction is to develop economical products and sell a lot in less demanding markets with their own brand influence and industry reputation. Some domestic manufacturers have a good momentum of development with good quality and low prices. Safety sensors: Affected by the automotive industry, the industry expands slowly. The overall market for safety sensors declined slightly in 2019, which was affected by the decline in the growth rate of automobiles in its main downstream industries. On the whole, the price of safety products is relatively high, the domestic awareness of safety products is not strong enough, and there are still difficulties in the development of the industry. Only some industries, such as chemical plants and logistics industries, have increasing demand for safety products. RFID: Due to policy support and changes in application, the increase is obvious. RFID products still maintain a high growth in 2019, and data traceability is one of its important application points. At present, intelligent manufacturing and the country's policy orientation on factory big data lead to production lines The update is its main growth point. In the future, the development trend of RFID will be better, mainly due to the continuous expansion of application scope. In addition to traditional factory automation, process automation such as water treatment industry, and business environment such as luxury goods authenticity identification have also generated new application scenarios, and there are imaginations for future application scenarios. At the same time, some manufacturers will mainly promote RFID in the future. Visual sensors: Domestic manufacturers have grown significantly, while the share of foreign manufacturers has declined slightly. The overall visual sensor market has developed well in the past two years, with a growth rate of 20%. It is expected that the growth rate will continue in the future, mainly due to the expansion of the application range. The current 3D technology of machine vision can be used in scenarios such as measurement and palletizing, and deep learning has also been gradually applied to new scenarios such as defect recognition. From the perspective of product classification, industrial cameras have cost advantages in large-scale applications, and the proportion will be further increased compared to smart cameras in the future.
