Fluxgate Sensor Market Drivers

Increasing demand for Fluxgate sensors in industrial automation is driving the market

The increasing convergence of industrial sectors with digitalization to deliver smart production and automation is set to drive the market. Increasing penetration of robotics for factory automation has contributed to the growth of the market. Fluxgate sensors, particularly linear and angular position sensing play a major role to run the factory smoothly while optimizing the usage of connected machines without human intervention. The magnetometers can be used to monitor the motor movements of the robots in terms of precision and accuracy. Furthermore, with the rising demand for faster and more efficient production lines, the role of the magnetic sensor is continuously evolving to include the use of safety switches and proximity detection. As per 2020 Industrial report of International Federation of Robotics, 2.7 million industrial robots are operating in factories including automotive, electronics and others around the world. Such growth in robotics across the globe is bolstering the demand for fluxgate sensors market.

Increasing adoption of fluxgate sensors in power distribution units is elevating the growth of the market

Increasing penetration of automation in utility sector to deliver an intelligent power distribution infrastructure has contributed to the growth of the market. Cloud computing and large data analytics are growing exponentially to meet the demand of ever increasing digitalization and due to this, there has been an increased production of power distribution units which are the main part of data centers and large servers. Datacenter infrastructure needs power distribution units (PDU) to supply AC or DC electrical power to the servers. Fluxgate sensors assist PDUs in providing power filtering to the server and intelligent load balancing while they can also be monitored remotely. According to International Energy Agency (IEA) reports, global internet traffic surged by almost 40% between February and mid-April 2020, driven by rising adoption of video streaming, video conferencing, online gaming, social networking services across globe and data centers accounted for almost 1% of global electricity use. Such growth in data transmission networks is augmenting the fluxgate sensor market growth.

Fluxgate Sensor Market Challenges

Distortion due to hard and soft iron elements is impeding the growth of the market

Fluxgate sensor are reactive to their environment owing to which distortion occurs in the sensor. Magnetic biasing is of two types, that is, hard iron bias and soft iron bias. Hard iron bias is instigated by magnetized material inside the device and Soft iron bias is instigated by interaction between variation in magnetic field of earth and materials inside a magnetometer. Strong iron bias, for instance, is power lines that create a magnetic field that impact drones and aircraft in which deployment of fluxgate sensors is done. The sensor performance is permanently biased if hard iron distortion occurs. Moreover, deflections in the current magnetic field occur in the case of soft iron distortion. Thus, the distortion of the fluxgate sensor restraints the growth of market.
