Photoelectric Sensor Market: Market Segments: By Type (Laser Photoelectric Sensor, Fiber Optics Photoelectric Sensor); By Technology (Through-Beam, Reflective, Diffuse); By Application (Automotive, Military & Aerospace, Electronics & Semiconductor, Packaging); and Region – Analysis of Market Size, Share & Trends for 2014 – 2019 and Forecasts to 2030

Product Overview

Photoelectric sensors are sensors used to detect an object's colour and distance. These sensors are location sensors that use diodes that emit light as the source of light. The sensor operates on the theory that light is transmitted to an object from the sensor, after which the light is again reflected back to the photoelectric sensor. The sensor is able to measure the distance the target is away from it based on the time it took for the light beam to reach the object and be reflected back.

Market Highlights

Photoelectric Sensor Market is expected to project a notable CAGR of 7.12% in 2030.

Photoelectric Sensor Market to surpass USD 46.5 billion by 2030 from USD 1.94 billion in 2018 at a CAGR of 6.84% throughout the forecast period, i.e., 2019-30. In the manufacturing, packaging and material handling industries, these sensors are used to perform functions such as the identification of transparent bottles, product presence monitoring, wafer detection in the vacuum conveyor system, and conveyor positioning control monitoring.

Photoelectric Sensor Market: Segments
