Market Introduction
Encoders are used in several sectors to provide feedback about the movement of a rotating shaft and it also senses position, direction, and speed. It converts mechanical motion into an electrical signal, the signal transmitted back to a controlling device, such as a counter. Technologies involved in encoders are magnetic, optical and capacitive. The optical technology is the most broadly used encoder motion translating technology. The encoder has a broad range of uses, including servo or VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) control, measuring, and counts. For VFD control, one might be running a pump on a VFD to fill a tank with liquid, one might request for a certain speed and want to verify that the speed is at the required rate. An encoder on the VFD is used for feedback of the speed. VFD is used to control the motor speed; the actual speed is measured with an encoder. The automobile sector is experiencing a considerable development in advanced technologies; various connected and driverless cars are in the developing phase. Advanced encoder technologies encourage automotive OEMs to adopt encoder devices; thus, the automobile industry has a massive impact on the SAM encoder market. In the past few years, warehouse automation systems have progressed rapidly due to developments in software and communication and control technology. Automotive guided vehicles (AGV) have aided greatly from such advances, and have been applied to a broad range of applications. The primary sensors used in AGV motion and directional control are incremental rotary encoders. The incremental encoders are broadly used in material handling equipment as they are built to offer precise, real-time data about AGV motor. Thus, the wide use of industrial robots in manufacturing process is expected to create a significant demand for encoder in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the encoder market.
In SAM region, Brazil has the highest number of COVID-19 cases, followed by Ecuador, Chile, Peru, and Argentina, among others. The government of SAM has taken an array of actions to protect their citizens and contain COVID-19 spread. Containment measures in several countries of SAM will reduce economic activity in the manufacturing and service sectors for at least the next quarter, and is expected to rebound once the pandemic is contained. The emergence and rapid spread of COVID-19 has affected many developed and developing countries. The continuous surge in count of infected patients is threatening several industries across the SAM region. Since majority of the countries are exercising lockdowns, the demand for encoders are decreasing at a prominent rate. This is due to the fact that, the key encoder purchasing countries have been restricting their investment on these components, and are utilizing a fair percentage of their budget to combat COVID-19. The temporary shutdown of manufacturing facilities is also showcasing negative trend in the encoder market. The continuity of the COVID-19 spread, would be a negative factor for encoder market players. The semiconductor and automotive industry are among the victims of COVID-19, and since the start of 2020, these industries have been reflecting a declining growth trend. With the imposition of lockdown across SAM region, the industries have been witnessing shattering experience. The automotive industry requires a significant number of human labour, and as the COVID-19 virus is spreading through human involvement, the sector is unable to function properly. The declining trend in automotive and semiconductor industry is reflecting a negative impact on the SAM encoder market.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The encoder market in SAM is expected to grow from US$ 143.5 million in 2019 to US$ 280.0 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 8.0% from 2020 to 2027. There has been an enormous wave in the development of technologies, which has impacted the design of encoders. Also, the semiconductor industry is driven by tech innovations, consumer trends, and better production processes. One of the biggest trends in encoder industry is the increasing demand and requirement for lighter, smaller, and high-performing encoders. Various vendors across the region are highly emphasized on designing products that are smaller and embed with more functionality. Prominent players in the market are focusing on the introduction of miniaturized designs of their products in order to sync with changing trends in various industries. The robotics industry is importantly observing the growth of this miniaturization trend, the demand for miniaturized devices in this industry would see a substantial boost in the near future, which, in turn will propel the growth of the encoder market.
