Reed Sensor Market

Reed Sensor Market Insights

The Global Reed Sensor Market is estimated to grow at a steady CAGR during the forecast period. A reed sensor is essentially a device built using a reed switch. Reed sensors are used in multiple products such as home automation, industrial automation, automobiles, recreational vehicles, plumbing and security, fitness equipment and telecommunication technologies among others.

Increasing applications of the Internet of things, automation in industries and home appliances, and the rise in usage of automotive safety solutions across the world are some factors driving growth in the reed sensor market. Development of the transportation and automotive sector is also expected to boost market demand for reed sensors. Innovations in applications of reed sensors have generated a demand for more advanced, durable and efficient reed sensors. These developments are expected to create market opportunities for companies to develop low power consumption reed sensors. However, some functional issues with respect to reed sensors can potentially restrict market growth up to an extent during the forecast period.

Reed Sensor Market: Product Type Insights

Based on product type, the Reed Sensor Market is segmented as Form A (Single Pole, Single Throw), Form B (Single Pole, Single Throw), Form C (Single pole, double throw) and Latch. The Form A type is normal open reed sensors which contacts close when in the presence of a magnetic field. The Form B switch is a closed reed sensor which contacts open in a magnetic field. Form C type of reed sensors are normally closed contact opens, and then open contact closes. The latching type is a bi-stable type of contact having three leads. The latching type of reed sensor remains energized without the need for the magnetic field.

Reed Sensor Market: End Use Insights

The Global Reed Sensor market based on end-use can be segmented into Automotive & Transportation, Security & Safety, Medical, Commercial, and Telecommunications. Reed sensors are extensively used in automotive and transportation. They find applications in assemblies, read outs on the dashboard, brakes, coolant measurement, emission, and tire pressure among others. The automotive and transportation segment is thus expected to hold the larger market share. Household and electronic appliances such as refrigerators, fitness equipment, door sensors, window sensors and control panels make use of reed sensors for operation. The security & safety segment along with the commercial segment is expected to demonstrate substantial growth in the coming years. In the telecommunication segment, reed sensors are used in a variety of crucial operations due to its capability to switch low power signals.
