Magnetic Sensor Market advances due to enhanced manufacturing automation

The global magnetic sensor market was estimated at USD 3.03 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 4.39 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4 % between 2025 and 2030. Increased integration of magnetic sensors across various industry verticals—driven by significant advances in sensing technology—is expected to fuel this growth.

Key Market Trends & Insights

In 2024, the Asia-Pacific region led the market with a revenue share of 47.26%.  The North American market is also anticipated to expand notably over the forecast period. From a technology standpoint, the Hall-effect segment dominated with a 29.0 % share in 2024.  On the application side, the automotive sector held the largest share in 2024, owing to mounting regulatory mandates for sensor integration in vehicles, and the critical role of magnetic sensors in automotive navigation systems and smartphones.

Sensor manufacturers are focusing on delivering efficient devices suitable for contactless operations and wear-free measurements of angular speed and rotation angle.  R&D investment is increasing rapidly as developers aim to embed features such as motion detection, speed and proximity sensing to serve diverse end-use markets.  A notable challenge is the steady decline in average selling prices (ASPs) of magnetic sensors, driven by intense competition and margin pressure—though the expansion of use-cases is expected to support market growth nonetheless.
