Automotive Speed Encoder Market By Type (Axial Encoder, Radial Encoder) , By Application (Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles) : Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2024-2033
Automotive Speed Encoder Market
The automotive speed encoder market was valued at $510.8 million in 2023 and is projected to reach $701.3 million by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.5% from 2024 to 2033.
Automotive speed encoder, also known as a vehicle speed sensor, is a device that measures the rotational speed of the wheels or drivetrain components of a vehicle. The information provided by the device is critical for several functions of vehicles such as speedometer readings, cruise control operation, anti-lock braking systems, and traction control systems. Furthermore, the data provided is useful for the electronic control systems of vehicles, including transmission control module and engine control unit. The automotive speed encoder market includes the development of encoder systems, sensor technologies, and other related components customized according to the requirements of modern automotive applications for precise speed sensing and regulation.
The automotive speed encoder market is witnessing growth due to surge in adoption of electric & hybrid vehicles, increase in integration with advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) systems, and rise in focus on vehicle safety & performance. Moreover, technical advancements in encoder technology, including development of optical and magnetic encoders with high environmental resistance & reliability are driving the demand for automotive speed encoders. In recent times, the miniaturization of encoders and their integration with additional components such as motor controllers are acquiring traction owing to rise in adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). EVs typically have limited space due to the presence of multiple electronic components, thereby encouraging the miniaturization of encoders.
However, the automotive industry is highly fragmented which presents challenges regarding the integration and calibration of automotive speed encoders in certain types of vehicles. These challenges restrain the market growth significantly. In addition, disruption of the supply chain is a periodic problem in the market owing to frequent shortages of crucial components or materials. On the contrary, the assimilation of encoders with several ingenious technologies such as ADAS, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, data analytics, and telematics is leading to innovations in the market and extending the role of speed encoders, along with elevating the capabilities of vehicles.
