Rising Deployment of Photoelectric Sensors Across Industry Verticals to Augment the Market Growth

The global market for photoelectric sensors is being driven by the emerging trends encouraging automation across various industry verticals. Photoelectric sensors are able to detect objects of different materials and sizes and are hence deployed in the industrial sector to achieve efficiency and accuracy. The food and beverage segment is one of the largest end use sectors of photoelectric sensors. This can be attributed to the growing focus towards automation by minimising human intervention in material handling and packaging.

Photoelectric sensors for bottle-cap alignment and orientation, counting packed objects in a conveyor belt, and eliminating the risk of contamination that may arise from the human touch are the various factors that are significantly boosting the food and beverage sector, thereby propelling the market growth of photoelectric sensor. In addition to this, the rising adoption of photoelectric sensors in logistics automation that rely on position and object-sensing for efficient and safe operations is further catalysing the market growth of photoelectric sensor.

Photoelectric Sensor: Market Segmentation

A photoelectric sensor refers to a device that detects a change in light intensity. These sensors are made up of a light source (LED), a receiver (phototransistor), a signal converter and an amplifier. The phototransistor, along with the LED, analyses incoming light and appropriately delivers an output.
