The angle encoder market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.29 billion in 2024 to $1.4 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the increasing adoption of CNC machines, the rise of industrial automation, the growth in aerospace and defense, the increase in robotics deployment, and the expansion of medical equipment applications.
The angle encoder market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.97 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to demand for high-precision robotics, miniaturization of components, growth in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, increasing use in medical automation, and expansion of automation in agriculture. Major trends in the forecast period include technological advancements in encoder design, miniaturization and enhanced functionality, integration with IoT and industry 4.0, advancements in optical and magnetic sensing technologies, customization, and application-specific solutions.
The forecast of 9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through restricted access to high-accuracy encoders, primarily supplied by Japan and South Korea, hampering production in Computer Numerical Control(CNC) machinery and automation systems. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
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.
An angle encoder is a device used to measure the rotational position of a shaft or object, typically converting angular displacement into an electrical signal. Its primary function is to provide precise feedback for motion control systems, ensuring accurate positioning in applications such as robotics, automation, and industrial machinery.
The main types of angle encoders are incremental angle encoders and absolute angle encoders. Incremental angle encoders are sensors that track rotational position by generating pulses as the shaft rotates, providing relative position information. These encoders use various technologies, including optical, magnetic, capacitive, and mechanical encoders. They are employed across a wide range of industries, including industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics. Key end-user industries for angle encoders include manufacturing, energy and power, telecommunications, and healthcare.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
