Magnetic Field Sensors Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Growth, Trends And Forecast 2014 - 2020

Magnetic field sensors are used to detect position of any object based on magnetic field. For instance, movements of gear wheels inside gearbox create alteration in magnetic field helping the sensors to indentify location of position of objects. This collected information is further sent to integrated electronics to evaluate the condition of the respective objects or vehicle. Magnetic field sensors are of non-contact type and use digital or analog signals for data transmission based on their type. With the development of technology magnetic field sensors are being used in various applications across the industry verticals. Demand for high sensing performance and better efficiency is driving the adoption of magnetic field sensors in various applications.
