The speed sensor is broadly used in aeronautics, precision engineering, and automotive sectors. It is an essential component for performing operations on on-board systems. It allows the magnetic rotation speed to be calculated and provide the voltage corresponding to the rotation speed. The speed sensors are used for controlling speed of a thermal and electric motor. These can based on different technology such as magneto-resistive and Hall Effect. The speed sensor used in a vehicle which is also called as ABS (anti-lock braking system) brake sensor, is situated on the back of each brake rotor and analyzes the operation of the wheel and tires while they are rotating. The main objective of the speed sensor in automotive sector is to alert the system if any one wheel is rotating faster than the other and make the user to stop the car safely. The speed sensors are also used in measuring speed and flow of the fluid and it works on the principle of differential pressure measurement. The advantages related to the speed sensors used in fluid, gas and stem flow meters includes minimum failure in operation due to mechanical damage, low pressure loss, simple design and utilization of the sensors in pipelines having square and circular cross-sections. These speed sensors can be made of stainless steel, carbon or nickel alloys and refractory alloyed steels.

COVID-19 Analysis

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the global economy as it has impacted various sectors, such as BFSI and IT & telecom, significantly. The pandemic has resulted in the implementation of lockdown restrictions and travel limitations in many countries across the globe, resulting in the disruption of the supply chain of goods and materials and the market demand. Moreover, the limitations on trades, shutting down manufacturing sites, and decline in the production rate, cash flow constraints, and unavailability of workers have led to the fall in the cash flow margins of the stakeholders in the global market. The virus mostly affected SMEs, but large organizations also had significant impacts. The COVID-19 has also impacted the speed sensor market across the globe. The supply shortage and low fabrication efficiency, the shelf life of raw materials is increasing, which is increasing the pricing of raw materials. Distribution challenges, such as staffing of warehouses, need for direct distribution, intelligent and responsive allocation of goods across different distribution channels. Further, additional usage of electronic components in modern manufacturing is impacting the consumer market due to shut down in production units.

Market Dynamics

The major factors driving the growth of the speed sensor market are the increasing demand of electronics in automobile sector and growing adoption of anti-lock braking system. However, lack of skilled workforce is hindering the market growth. Although, development of low power and high accuracy speed sensors is creating an opportunity in the market.

DRIVERS

• Increasing demand of electronics in automotive sector

The electronics components used in automotive sector has enhanced the performance of the vehicles by improving the running entertainment devices and vehicle efficiency. The sensors act as a vital part of the automotive sector as they help in serving multiple purposes. These help the car manufacturers to design the car models that are safer to use, more comfortable and more fuel efficient. The sensors has also enable in resulting a large degrees of vehicle automation which has benefited the sensor technology.  Further, with the advancement in technology, the self-drive car or the autonomous vehicle technology has been introduced. This vehicle operates using different sensors and without a human driver, including functions that help in avoiding road hazards and traffic congestion. Similarly, the vehicle speed sensors helps in measuring the transmission output or the wheel speed. All these different sensors inside the vehicle are connected to the Electronic control unit (ECU) that contains software and hardware. This unit makes use of the information measured by the speed sensor to modify the engine function such as air/fuel ratio, ignition timing, transmission shift points, and initiate diagnostic routes. Henceforth, the use of electronics such as sensor technology in automotive sector is expected to drive the speed sensor market during the forecast period.

RESTRAINTS
