Digital String Encoder Market: Introduction
- Digital string encoder is used to provide feedback about the motion of objects to control systems. It is an economical and durable encoder device that utilizes a flexible cable, a spring-loaded spool, and an incremental/optical/linear encoder to identify and measure linear position.
- It offers a wide range of benefits, such as encoder linear position from 50 inches (1,200mm – 5,000 mm), low-cost, long life, rugged polycarbonate enclosure, free-release tolerant measuring cable, and numerous configurations. These features make the digital string encoder most significant for light industrial to OEM applications driving its demand.
Growing Adoption from Automotive Industry
- Based on end-use industry, the global digital string encoder market is segmented into industrial, automotive, and others (oil & gas, power & utility, and energy). Among the end-use industries, automotive is expected to be the fastest-growing industry for the digital string encoder during the forecast period due to the increasing usage of digital string encoder for tight spaces and high-cycle applications.
- Rising adoption of digital string encoder for OEM applications, such as press or assembly machine, a dam control, an oil valve control, to ensure better strength is further propelling the market
Asia Pacific to Lead the Global Digital String Encoder Market
- In terms of region, the global digital string encoder market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and South America.
- Asia Pacific is expected to hold the largest share of the global digital string encoder market throughout the forecast period due to increasing demand from the industrial, automotive, and manufacturing industries in control circuit for the machine while making the cut.
- Rising industrialization, urbanization, the proliferation of the advanced factory automation solution, and innovations in equipment manufacturing are some factors stimulating the digital string encoder market in North America.
