The area sensors market is estimated to reach US$ 7,033.4 Mn in 2023 and is projected to grow at value of US$ 22,907.1 Mn by 2033. The market for area sensors is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 12.5% from 2023 to 2033.
Area sensors are multi beam, through beam arrays of photo-eyes that are designed to detect the presence of specimen within the confines of the controllable height of the sensor arrays. Area sensors are ideal for the detection of differently shaped and sized specimen at varied positions in a two dimensional targeted area.
Manufacturers offer both, basic and advanced versions of area sensors. Advanced area sensors have added features, such as increased limit of detection height, analog output, and blanking function.
Growth in the food packaging sector has a significant impact on the area sensors market. The increasing number of food and beverages industries and an increasing demand for canned and packaged foods are important factors which are driving the growth of the area sensor market. Sensing devices are being increasingly used in the packaging sector to improve the industrial efficiency, convenience, and precautions. Furthermore, the use position detection area sensors that detect the position of the packaging specimen, diverting machine arms, pneumatic cylinders and object pushers in carton machine systems, are generating rapid demand for area sensors in the food packaging industry.
The area sensors market was valued at US$ 6,342.1 Mn in 2022. The area sensors market will see new opportunities presented by the rising popularity. The market will benefit from the investments made by businesses and the advancements in technology of area sensors. In terms of the regional market landscape, the market in North America held a leading market share of 28.1% in the global landscape in 2022 and is anticipated to retain its leading position throughout the forecast period. Meanwhile, demand for area sensors in the Europe region will hold around 23.3% of the market in 2022.

“Presence of counterfeit semiconductor component vendors”
Increasing counterfeit semiconductor components in the global market is a major threat to growth of the global area sensors market. Such counterfeit area sensing products are used in various sectors such as food packaging, et cetera. This is a serious issue in various countries across the world, despite gradual improvements in enforcement of intellectual property rights.
These counterfeit components prematurely fail or do not function as expected due to aging, mishandling et cetera. Such products, when integrated in equipment protection, picking or personnel safety systems, are risky and may cause huge losses.
“High Availability of Manufacturers and Suppliers”
East Asia will become the largest market for area sensors due to the strong presence of manufacturers and suppliers in the region. This is attributed to increase in demand for area sensors for various end users such as pharmaceuticals, automotive, electronics & electrical, and food & beverage packaging, among others. According to the report, overall area sensor spending in China alone is likely to increase by 12.1% CAGR for 2023-2033.
China is the dominant country for area sensors in the world, accounting for about 15% to 20% of the market share in 2022. Several manufacturers are expected to move or expand their manufacturing facilities to the East Asian region as it simplifies production and end-user acquisition. Sales in East Asia are highly dependent on the growth of the electronics, electrical and automotive industries where area sensors are widely used.
“Strong Presence of International Players”
A significant increase in the use of sensor technology in German SMEs is expected. Moreover, the integration of electronics into technical textiles and the growing demand for sensors for the development of smart cities are creating great opportunities across Europe. The market in Germany is expected to be valued around US$ 2,794.6 Mn by 2033.
The market is expected to show sustainable growth owing to investments by international players such as Datalogic S.p.A., SICK AG and among others, in the country, and government initiatives pushes the market to support the growth of this industry. Higher focus in industrial automation and expansion of the IoT sector are increasing the demand for sensor technology.
“Government pushes the market with new initiatives”
The South Asia & Pacific semiconductor industry is at the expansion stage, and this is anticipated to continue due to strong support from governments and favourable macroeconomic indicators in countries such as India, Indonesia, and Australia, among others, in the region. The area sensors market in India is expected to witness a growth rate of 13.4% for forecast period 2023-2033.
The manufacturing sector is one of the fastest growing sectors in India, driven by the rise of industrial automation, changing manufacturing landscape across various industries and government initiatives to attract more foreign investment which is highly expected to continue in the future. The Indian sensor market is experiencing strong growth as sensor technology is applied in various industry applications such as automotive, manufacturing and consumer electronics.
