The speed sensor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.88 billion in 2025 to $10.38 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early adoption in automotive wheel speed sensing, increasing deployment in transmission systems, growth of inductive sensor usage, reliance on analog speed output mechanisms, expansion of hall-effect sensor applications.
The speed sensor market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.56 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for high-precision digital speed sensors, growth in advanced driver assistance systems, increasing use of active speed sensing in electric vehicles, development of compact solid-state sensors, expansion of predictive maintenance-based sensor deployment. Major trends in the forecast period include advancement of smart mobility speed sensing, growth of e-mobility speed monitoring systems, adoption of AI-based vehicle speed detection, expansion of IoT-enabled automotive sensor networks, development of intelligent manufacturing for precision sensors.
An anticipated rise in vehicle production is expected to propel the growth of the speed sensor market. A vehicle is defined as any mode by which individuals travel or items are transported. Traditionally, vehicle speed sensors have been installed on the transmission or rear differential to monitor the rotational speed of the drive shaft. For example, in 2024, according to Virta Global, a Finland-based company specializing in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, the global EV fleet, excluding two- and three-wheelers, is projected to reach approximately 245 million by 2030 and rise to 525 million by 2035, at which point electric vehicles are expected to account for one in every four vehicles on the road. New EV sales could surpass 50% of total vehicle sales by 2035. As a result, the uptick in vehicle production is contributing to the expansion of the speed sensor market.
Major companies in the speed sensor market are directing their efforts towards the development of e-motor Rotor Position Sensors (eRPS), particularly for the electric automotive industry. An e-motor rotor position sensor precisely measures and reports the rotor's position within an electric motor, contributing to accurate control and enhanced efficiency. For instance, in February 2023, Continental AG, a Germany-based manufacturing company, launched the high-speed inductive e-motor Rotor Position Sensor (eRPS) designed for electric vehicles. This innovative sensor detects the rotor's exact position in a synchronous electric machine, increasing efficiency and enabling smoother operations.
In January 2024, Amphenol, a US-based company that specializes in designing, manufacturing, and marketing electrical, electronic, and fiber-optic connectors, along with other high-technology products, acquired Airmar Technology Corporation for an undisclosed sum.
