The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration with ai-enabled control systems, demand in electric mobility & transportation, expansion in smart manufacturing, growth in iot-enabled infrastructure, rising adoption in renewable energy and healthcare automation. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturization & high-precision feedback, real-time motion monitoring, enhanced durability & reliability, wireless & contactless sensing, energy-efficient encoder systems.
The increasing demand for industrial automation is expected to accelerate the growth of the angle encoder market in the coming years. Industrial automation involves using machines and control systems to perform industrial processes automatically. The rising demand for automation is primarily driven by the need to enhance efficiency, reduce manual errors, cut operational costs, and speed up processes, allowing businesses to remain competitive in fast-evolving markets. Angle encoders contribute to automation by providing high-resolution rotational position data, enabling precise control of angular movements in machinery and robotic systems, which is crucial for improving accuracy, synchronization, and overall performance in automated tasks. For example, in September 2024, the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based organization, reported that the number of operational robots in factories worldwide reached 4,281,585 in 2023, reflecting a 10% increase from 3,904,000 in 2022. Therefore, the growing demand for industrial automation is fueling the expansion of the angle encoder market.
Leading companies in the angle encoder market are focusing on expanding into challenging applications, such as inductive angle encoders, to enhance durability, ensure reliable performance in extreme conditions, and meet the increasing demand from industries such as aerospace, defense, and heavy industrial automation. An inductive angle encoder is a non-contact sensor that uses electromagnetic induction to accurately measure angular positions, making it ideal for use in harsh and contaminated environments. For example, in March 2025, FLUX GmbH, an Austria-based high-precision encoder company, introduced the 300mm IND-MAX inductive angle encoder. Designed for harsh environments with IP67 protection, this encoder provides real-time, absolute position measurements, making it suitable for applications such as aerospace surveillance and satellite communication.
In November 2024, FLUX GmbH, an Austria-based high-precision encoder company, partnered with Elimec Electromechanical Engineering Ltd. to accelerate its growth in India. This partnership is aimed at strengthening FLUX's presence in the Indian market, following the launch of its IND-MAX range of inductive angle encoders built for demanding environments. Elimec Electromechanical Engineering Ltd. is an Israel-based company specializing in electromechanical engineering solutions.
