Hall-Effect Current Sensor Market by Type, Technology, Output (Linear and Threshold), Industry (Industrial Automation, Automotive, Consumer Electronics, Telecommunication, Utilities, Medical, Railways), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
The Hall-Effect current sensor market is expected to grow from USD 831.0 Million in 2016 to USD 1,473.7 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 8.4% from 2017 to 2023. Continuous technological advancements, growing use of fully integrated programmable current sensors, advantage of galvanic isolation-based Hall-Effect current sensors, and growing demand for intelligent Hall-Effect current sensors are expected to drive the growth of the Hall-Effect current sensor market in the coming years.
The Hall-Effect current sensor market typically comprises the products provided by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party vendors for industrial automation, consumer electronics, automotive, telecommunication, utilities, medical, aerospace & defense, and railways industries. Hall-Effect current sensors are mainly used for current monitoring, overcurrent fault detection, and power measurement in these industries.
Currently, industry players are manufacturing fully integrated and programmable current sensors based on BiCMOS or CMOS technology. These current sensors have features such as no insertion loss, low power consumption, compact package size, single or dual power supply, higher accuracy and sensitivity, galvanic isolation, and faster response time.
Market Dynamics
Drivers: Continuous technological advancements in Hall-Effect current sensors
Hall-Effect current sensors are now manufactured using BiCMOS technology, a combination of bipolar junction transistor and complementary metal-oxide semiconductor. BiCMOS offers a high current drive per unit, low input density, high power dissipation, and low noise compared to conventional or CMOS technology. This technology is highly reliable and simple and is compatible with 0.8-μm CMOS technology. The BiCMOS technology has improved the performance of Hall-Effect current sensors.
Restraints: Inconsistency in the strength of magnetic fields
Sensors produce an output voltage directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field generated by the current flowing through the shunt. As most sensors operate from a single 5-Vdc supply, their output does not need level shifting before it is connected to an analog to digital (A/D) converter, microprocessor, or microcontroller. Hall-Effect current sensors are not suitable for measuring the flow of current if the distance between the generated magnetic field and the current-carrying conductor is more than 10 cm. Hall-Effect sensors work on the concept of magnetic field, which makes them more vulnerable to external magnetic fields, leading to bias or inconsistent measurement of the current flow.
Opportunities: Potential applications in eco-friendly electric and hybrid vehicles
The automotive marketplace is shifting from mechanical actuation and timing methods to electrically driven systems. The increasing demand for gas, rise in prices, and environmental concerns are driving the market for eco-friendly and hybrid vehicles. Hall-Effect current sensors are used in converters, inverters, and battery management units of HEVs and EVs. Therefore, the expected growth of the HEV and EV market will have a positive impact on the Hall-Effect current sensor market in the coming years.
Challenges: Demand for low-cost Hall-Effect current sensors
The consumers of Hall-Effect current sensors are the key players in the segments such as automotive, consumer electronics, medical, industrial automation, railways, and aerospace & defense. The major demand for Hall-Effect-based current sensors has been witnessed from the automotive and consumer electronics industry. While both these industries are growing rapidly, they face a stiff price competition in the market. Therefore, the players in these industries demand low-cost Hall-Effect current sensors to bring down the price of the final product.
