Absolute Linear and Rotary Position Encoders

The Absolute Linear and Rotary Position Encoders market research study delivers current market analysis plus a five year market and technology forecast.  The study is available in multiple editions including worldwide, all regions, and most major countries.

Absolute Position Encoders Market Influenced by Upswing in Machinery Market

The global growth projections for the machine building industry, the main customer of absolute linear and rotary position encoders, are optimistic.  In 2017, suppliers became optimistic once again as order activity began to pick up and continued through the first five months of 2018.  ARC is also optimistic about a recovery during the forecast period with continuous moderate positive growth.

Linear and rotary position encoder shipments grew worldwide in 2017.  Especially China, a large net importer of machinery, worked as a growth driver for global demand in automation equipment.

Technological trends include a shift to more accurate and robust encoders.  Also, communication interfaces need to meet requirements of Industrie 4.0 to enable competitive manufacturing.  Digitization is also increasing the need for both automation and condition monitoring.   

The ranking of suppliers in the global linear and rotary position encoder market did not change much in 2017.  Companies tend to keep their portfolio stable, and consolidation is not a big topic in this particular market.
