A magnetic sensor is a device designed to transform the intensity and variations of a magnetic field into electric signals. These sensors find frequent application in security and military contexts, where they are utilized for detecting, distinguishing, and localizing ferromagnetic and conducting objects, as well as for antitheft systems. Additionally, magnetic sensors can gauge the magnitude of magnetism and geomagnetism caused by magnets or currents.
The primary types of magnetic sensors include Hall effect sensors, magnetoresistive sensors, squid sensors, and flux gate sensors. A Hall effect sensor is an electronic device that identifies the Hall effect and converts its observations into electronic data. These sensors cover various ranges, including low field sensors (<1 microgauss), earth field sensors (1 microgauss-10 gauss), and bias magnetic field sensors (>10 gausses). They are employed in applications such as speed sensors, detection or non-destructive testing (NDT), position sensors, navigation and electronic compasses, and flow rate sensors across industries such as automotive, aerospace and defense, industrial, consumer electronics, banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), as well as other end-user sectors.

The magnetic sensor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $5.56 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to industry diversification, demand for IoT devices, automotive industry growth, emerging applications, supply chain dynamics. Major trends in the forecast period include miniaturization, IoT integration, automotive applications, emerging technologies, healthcare innovations.
The anticipated increase in demand for smartphones is set to drive the growth of the magnetic sensor market. Smartphones, handheld devices with embedded computers and additional features, commonly incorporate a magnetic sensor, such as a magnetometer. This sensor enables the phone to detect its orientation, proving valuable in applications such as compass functionality and navigation/position determination. As indicated by a January 2022 report from the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), a US-based trade association for consumer technology companies, smartphone sales were projected to reach 154.1 million units in 2022, with shipment revenues amounting to $74.7 billion-a 3% increase compared to the 149.6 million units in 2021. Hence, the rising demand for smartphones is expected to propel the magnetic sensor market forward.
The increasing prevalence of IoT-linked devices is poised to contribute to the growth of the magnetic sensor market. IoT-linked devices, which wirelessly connect to a network and transmit data, often incorporate magnetic sensors to detect and measure magnetic fields. This makes these sensors versatile tools for various tasks. A report from IoT Analytics, a Germany-based provider of strategic business intelligence for IoT, estimated a 9% increase in global IoT device connections, reaching 12.3 billion in 2021. Projections indicate that the number of IoT device connections is expected to further rise to 27 billion by 2025. Consequently, the growing number of IoT-linked devices is a significant driver for the magnetic sensor market.
The magnetic sensor market is witnessing a trend of product innovations, with major companies focusing on developing novel products to enhance their market position.
