The global Angle Encoder market size is predicted to grow from US$ 741 million in 2025 to US$ 1024 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2025 to 2031.
An angle encoder is a form of position sensor that measures the angular position of a rotating shaft. Most angle encoders use optical technology, where a disk-shaped rotor has an optical grating which co-operates with an opto-electric sensor on the stator. Optical technology depends on tightly constrained rotation of the rotor relative to a stator, therefore most angle encoders include bearings to keep the two parts concentric.
Angle Encoder as a sensor has significant differences in different application scenarios. For example, photoelectric encoders use photoelectric sensors to detect the position and movement of objects. Magnetic encoders use magnetic fields to detect the position and movement of objects. Capacitive and Inductive Encoders use capacitance or induction principles to detect the position and movement of objects.
The production areas of angle encoders in various regions around the world are mainly distributed in Europe (Germany, Italy, France, etc.), Japan, the United States and China. Europe occupies the vast majority of the market share. Chinese angle encoder companies still have a certain gap in production capacity and product performance with international leading companies (such as Heidenhain and Tamagawa Seiki). However, with the continuous breakthroughs of Chinese companies in product development technology in recent years, some companies have achieved breakthroughs in revenue and shipments.
The major sales regions for angle encoders include North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America. Asia Pacific is expected to witness the highest growth rate due to the rapid industrialization and increasing adoption of automation technologies in countries like China and India. The angle encoder market is characterized by a high level of market concentration, with a few key players dominating the market. Some of the major players in the market include Heidenhain, Renishaw, Tamagawa. These companies are focusing on product innovation and strategic partnerships to gain a competitive edge in the market. For instance, Renishaw recently launched a new range of angle encoders with improved accuracy and reliability, catering to the growing demand for high-precision measurement solutions. There are several market opportunities for angle encoder manufacturers, including the increasing adoption of automation technologies in various industries and the growing demand for high-precision measurement systems in the manufacturing sector. Additionally, the rising trend of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to drive the demand for angle encoders in the coming years. However, the market also faces several challenges, such as the high cost of angle encoders and the lack of skilled workforce to operate and maintain these systems. Manufacturers need to address these challenges to capitalize on the growing market opportunities.
Overall, the angle encoder market is poised for significant growth in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for high-precision measurement and control systems in various industries. Key players in the market are focusing on product innovation and strategic partnerships to gain a competitive edge.
