The speed sensor plays a crucial role in the functionality of numerous onboard systems, enabling the measurement of magnetic rotation speed and providing a corresponding voltage output. This sensor is designed to detect the rotational speed of gears within the transmission system. Subsequently, the sensor transforms this measurement into either an analog signal or a low-voltage square wave signal, transmitting it to electronic control units (ECUs). Its application extends to measuring the rotational speed of a vehicle's wheel.
The primary categories within the speed sensor market encompass inductive sensors, monopolar sensors, bipolar sensors, and active sensors. Inductive sensors are electronic devices capable of detecting ferrous metal targets without direct physical contact. Speed sensors find applications in various domains, including position sensing, pulse counting, functioning as flow meters for liquids and gases, coil applications, and other diverse uses. End-users of speed sensors span across industries such as aerospace and defense, automotive, electronics, healthcare, industrial and telecom, along with other sectors.

The speed sensor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $9.51 billion in 2024 to $10.03 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to automotive industry growth, contactless sensing, traffic management, industrial automation, consumer electronics.
The speed sensor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $12.43 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous vehicles, iot and smart cities, environmental regulations, emerging sensor technologies, rise of edge computing.Major trends in the forecast period include wireless speed sensors, high-resolution sensors, smart cities integration, vibration-based sensors, technological advancements.
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, a report released in May 2023 by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) indicated that 85.4 million motor vehicles were manufactured globally in 2022, marking a 5.7% increase compared to 2021. As a result, the uptick in vehicle production is contributing to the expansion of the speed sensor market.
The expanding defense industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the speed sensor market in the future. The defense industry encompasses a range of companies and organizations engaged in the research, development, production, and maintenance of military hardware, equipment, technology, and services for a nation's armed forces. Speed sensors are utilized within the defense sector to improve the accuracy and efficiency of military equipment, including vehicles, aircraft, and weaponry, thereby enhancing performance, safety, and mission success. For example, a report published by the UK government's Ministry of Defense (MOD) in December 2022 indicated that defense spending for 2021-2022 reached $58.39 billion (£45.930 billion), reflecting an 8.4% increase. Consequently, the growth of the defense industry is propelling the expansion of the speed sensor market.
New product innovation is emerging as a prominent trend in the speed sensor market, with major companies actively developing innovative solutions to enhance their market position. For instance, in October 2023, Baumer Holding AG, a Switzerland-based manufacturer, introduced the IF250, an ultra-flat inductive sensor. Measuring only 6mm in height, the IF250 is the flattest inductive sensor of its type, capable of detecting objects up to 12mm, setting it apart in its class.
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. This acquisition is intended to enhance Amphenol's sensor portfolio, foster innovation through technology sharing, and bolster its market leadership, particularly in marine and industrial applications. Airmar Technology Corporation is a leading US-based manufacturer of sensor technologies.
