簡介目錄

預計2024年電容式接近感測器市場規模為27億美元，2029年達38.2億美元，預測期間（2024-2029年）複合年成長率為7.20%。

電容式接近感測器是設計用於檢測金屬和非金屬目標的感測設備。它還可以檢測機械限位開關無法看到的輕質或小型物體。它利用電容的介電原理，在感測器表面附近形成檢測場，形成檢測區域。這些感測器透過記錄感測器讀取的電容變化來工作。

主要亮點

電容的變化取決於感測目標的大小和距離。典型的電容式接近感測器類似於具有兩個平行板的電容器，並且感測兩個板的電容。該感測器由高頻振盪器和放大器組成。當物體接近感測器的感測表面時，環路的電容會變化，導致高頻振盪器振盪。放大器將振盪和停止狀態轉換為電訊號，然後將其轉換為二進位開關訊號。
電容式接近感測器具有較寬的靈敏度頻寬，可透過非金屬牆壁檢測物體。它們也以其較長的使用壽命而聞名，使其在各種應用中都可靠。這些感測器高度靈敏，甚至可以準確檢測最小的偏轉，使其適用於各種應用，包括運動、位移、化學成分、電場、壓力、加速度、液位和流體成分。
製造設施和生產工廠的成長是電容式接近感測器市場的主要促進因素。這些感測器可以簡化並減少生產功能的時間消耗，同時提高可靠性、準確性並減少工作人員的參與。
此外，雖然電容式接近感測器具有許多優點，但其感測能力存在一些限制，可能會阻礙其發展。電容式接近感測器對材料的介電特性敏感。雖然它可以檢測金屬、液體和塑膠等多種物質，但對於低介電常數或高電導率的物質卻很難檢測。
COVID-19 的疫情和全球封鎖法規對工業活動產生了嚴重影響。封鎖的影響包括勞動力短缺、供應鏈中斷、製造過程中使用的原料缺乏、可能迫使最終產品生產和超出預算的價格波動以及運輸問題。

電容式接近感測器的市場趨勢

消費性電子實現大幅成長

電容式觸控技術使用感測器取代更廣泛的家用電子電器中的按鈕和薄膜開關，從智慧型手機和平板電腦到筆記型電腦和其他類似電子設備。
電容式觸控感測器利用靜電場，並透過感測靜電場的微小變化將表面積轉換為多個感測機會。此外，此類感測器可以檢測和量化任何導電或具有不同於空氣的電介質，從而更容易以非機械方式接收刺激。
該技術同樣適用於按鈕、滑桿、開關、墊片、觸控螢幕和接近感測器，使設計人員能夠將他們的智慧型手機設計提升到一個新的水平。因此，行動裝置具有多種可以使用電容式觸控感應來實現的智慧功能。
電容式觸控感應創建了一種特殊的手勢介面，允許用戶用一隻手操作行動電話並用拇指控制各種功能。例如，行動電話方面的簡單 4 段電容式滑桿感應器可實現向上滑動、向下滑動、向上滑動、向下滑動、單選項卡、雙選項卡和長按等功能。
這些功能可用於所有智慧型手機應用程式，以在螢幕之間瀏覽、上下捲動文件以及選擇或取消選擇圖示。這種單手操作介面增強了行動電話的便利性和簡潔性，改善了使用者體驗。愛立信預計，到2023年，全球智慧型手機行動網路用戶數將達到67.18億，將進一步推動市場成長。

亞太地區佔比較大

預計亞太地區在預測期內將實現最高成長率，其中包括中國、日本、印度、韓國和台灣在內的多個國家將大量採用工業機器人。
由於汽車和半導體製造業的大規模採用，中國在機器人應用感測器的區域採用率中佔據主導地位。機器人中使用電容式接近感測器來避免碰撞並安全高效地執行任務。此外，這些感測器還用於在組裝和其他製造過程中精確定位和引導零件。
政府增加對改善先進製造業的援助可能會對市場成長率產生正面影響。中國政府推出了一項名為「中國製造2025」的國家主導產業政策，旨在讓中國在全球高科技製造業中佔優勢。
到2025年，國家目標實現機器人產業營業利潤年均成長20%。五年計畫旨在拓展機器人應用的廣度和深度，持續增加我國機器人的數量。
它還旨在促進更加穩定和強大的供應鏈並推進行業標準化。由於機器人技術涉及觸摸、接近檢測等各種類型的感測器，該領域的成長將推動市場成長率。

A capacitive proximity sensor is a sensing device designed to detect metallic and non-metallic targets. It may detect lightweight or small objects that mechanical limit switches cannot see. They use dielectric principles of capacitance to establish a sensing field near the sensor's face, creating a detecting zone. These sensors operate by recording a change in the capacitance read by the sensor.

Key Highlights

The amount of capacitance varies depending on the size and distance of the sensing object. An ordinary capacitive proximity sensor is similar to a capacitor with two parallel plates, where the capacity of the two plates is detected. The sensor consists of a high-frequency oscillator and an amplifier. When an object approaches the sensor's detection surface, the capacitance of the loop varies, causing the high-frequency oscillator to vibrate. Amplifiers transform the oscillation and stop states into electrical signals, which are then turned into binary switching signals.
Capacitive proximity sensors have a wide sensitivity band, enabling them to detect objects through non-metallic walls. They are known for their long operational lifespan, making them reliable for various applications. These sensors are highly sensitive and can accurately detect very small deflections, making them suitable for various applications like motion, displacement, chemical composition, electric field, pressure, acceleration, fluid level, and fluid composition.
The growth in manufacturing facilities and production plants is a major driver for the capacitive proximity sensors market. These sensors can simplify and decrease the time consumption in production functions while enhancing the dependability, accuracy, and involvement of a low task force.
Moreover, while capacitive proximity sensors offer numerous advantages, they have some limitations in sensing capabilities that can hinder their growth. Capacitive proximity sensors are sensitive to the dielectric properties of materials. While they can detect a wide range of materials, including metals, liquids, and plastics, they struggle with certain materials that have low dielectric constants or are highly conductive.
The COVID-19 outbreak and lockdown restrictions worldwide severely affected industrial activities. The effects of the lockdown include labor shortages, disruptions in the supply chain, lack of availability of raw materials utilized in the manufacturing process, fluctuating prices that could force the production of the final product to increase and go beyond budget, shipping problems, etc.

Capacitive Proximity Sensors Market Trends

Consumer Electronics to Witness Major Growth

In capacitive touch technologies, sensors have replaced buttons and membrane switches across a larger range of consumer electronic devices, from smartphones and tablets to laptops and other similar electronic devices.
Capacitance-based touch sensors convert a surface area into several sensing opportunities by utilizing an electrostatic field and sensing very small changes in the capacitive field. Moreover, sensors like these can detect and quantify anything conductive or have a different dielectric than air, facilitating non-mechanical methods of receiving stimuli.
This technology lends itself equally well to buttons, sliders, switches, touch pads, touch screens, and proximity sensors, enabling designers to take smartphone design to much higher levels. As a result, there are a variety of intelligent features that can be implemented using capacitive touch sensing in mobile devices.
With capacitive sensing, creating a special gesture interface allows users to operate phones with a single hand and control various functions using their thumb. For instance, a simple four-segment capacitive slider sensor on the side of the phone enables such features as swipe up, swipe down, flick up, flick down, single tab, double tab, long press, etc.
These features may be used with all smartphone applications to browse between screens, scroll a document up and down, or select or deselect an icon. Such a single-handed interface can increase the phone's convenience and simplicity, thus enhancing the user experience. According to Ericsson, by 2023, 6.718 billion smartphone mobile network subscriptions will be adopted across the globe, which would further boost the market's growth.

Asia-Pacific to Hold Major Share

Asia-Pacific is anticipated to record the highest growth rate during the forecast period, with the noteworthy installation of industrial robots in several countries, including China, Japan, India, South Korea, and Taiwan.
China is dominating the regional adoption rate of sensors for robotic applications due to the massive deployment in the country's dominating automotive and semiconductor manufacturing industries. Capacitive proximity sensors are used in robots to avoid collisions and perform tasks safely and efficiently. Moreover, these sensors are used to accurately position and guide parts during assembly or other manufacturing processes.
The growing government aid in improving the advanced manufacturing sector will positively impact the market growth rate. The government of China launched "Made in China 2025", a state-led industrial policy that seeks to make China dominant in global high-tech manufacturing.
By 2025, the country aims to exceed its average annual operating income growth rate by 20% in the robotics industry. The five-year plan set out objectives to expand the breadth and depth of robotic applications to continue to increase the number of robots in the country.
It also aims to promote a more stable and robust supply chain and better standardize the industry. As robotics involve various types of sensors in touch, proximity detection, and so on, the sector's growth is set to boost the market growth rate.
