The automotive & transportation subcategory is expected to capture a significant portion of the market share within the passenger cars segment. The growth can be attributed to the rising global demand for electric vehicles has provided possibilities for growth in the industry. Reed switches are used in electric car chargers to accelerate the charging process. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA),in 2022, the global number of public charging points reached 2.7 million, with 900,000 installations, a 55% increase from the previous year and comparable to pre-pandemic growth.

The high-temperature reed sensor Sub-Segment is Anticipated to Hold a Considerable Share of the global Reed Switches/Sensors Market

Among the reed sensor types, the high-temperature reed sensor sub-segment is expected to hold a considerable share of the global Reed Switches/Sensors market. The segmental growth is attributed to the increasing demand for industry demand for high-temperature solutions. Industries with high-temperature applications, such as downhole drilling in oil & gas or automotive under-the-hood applications, are expected to increase demand for high-temperature reed sensors. For instance, in July 2023, Pickering Electronics launched a new high-temperature high voltage single-in-line reed relay that can operate at up to 125°C. The Series 104HT relay is a small high-voltage reed relay with a stand-off voltage of up to 4kV. It is available in the SIL package with a 6.35mm (0.25in) pitch.

Regional Outlook

The global reed switches/sensors market is further segmented based on geography including North America (the US, and Canada), Europe (UK, Italy, Spain, Germany, France, and the Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (India, China, Japan, South Korea, and Rest of Asia), and the Rest of the World (the Middle East & Africa, and Latin America). Among these, North America is anticipated to hold a prominent share of the market across the globe, owing to the manufacturers' growing emphasis on product innovation, in addition to higher expenditures in research and development (R&D) activities in this region.

The Asia-Pacific region is Expected to Grow at a Significant CAGR in the global Reed Switches/Sensors Market

Among all regions, the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to grow at a considerable CAGR over the forecast period. Regional growth is attributed to the increased automation in industry and the growth of Industrial 4.0 across the region. The development of automation in industry and Industrial 4.0 promises to accelerate the usage of reed sensor technology. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), in October 2018, it is anticipated that approximately 630,000 robot units are projected to be shipped globally by 2022. This advancement in robot technology, combined with the adoption of international standards, has helped to provide safer workplaces, boost productivity, and reduce environmental impact. A reed sensor is used to precisely determine the terminal position of hydraulic or pneumatic cylinders and actuators.

Market Players Outlook

The major companies serving the global reed switches/sensors market include Honeywell International Inc., Littelfuse, Inc., Standex International Corp., OMRON Corp., and TE Connectivity Ltd., among others. The market players are considerably contributing to the market growth by the adoption of various strategies including mergers and acquisitions, partnerships, collaborations, funding, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in January 2024, Murata launched the SCH16T-K01 - A Next Generation 6DoF Inertial Sensor. The SCH16T-K01 sensor provides superior positioning solutions owing to its advanced gyro, noise density, dynamic range, and high linearity, in addition to superior performance and time synchronization characteristics that ensure optimal performance through all temperature ranges.
