Food & Beverage Position Sensors Market Segment Analysis- By Position Sensor Type

By Distribution channel, Food & Beverage Position Sensors market is segmented into Ultrasonic, Radar Microwave, Tuning Fork, Electromagnetic, Capacitance, Others. Ultrasonic position sensor held the highest market share in 2020. Higher working temperatures and pressures, as well as the presence of steam and potentially corrosive chemicals such as alcohol and solvents, need the use of strong measurement components that can perform reliably under extreme circumstances. Similarly, as machine footprints get smaller, there is a greater demand for sensors that take up less space. All of these aspects have driven the creation of a new line of ultrasonic sensors that will allow producers to achieve optimal performance in a number of food and beverage applications. Ultrasonic sensors have a stainless steel or alumina exterior construction that optimizes performance while adhering to strict food safety requirements. Accurate sensing is critical in applications such as milk metering and beverage distribution to guarantee proper container filling. Ultrasonic metering is a great way to improve accuracy while keeping a small footprint. Thus, above mentioned factors are analyzed to drive the market growth.

Food & Beverage Position Sensors Market Segment Analysis- By Geography

APAC held the highest market share of 37% in 2020. The rising need for cost-effective and highly efficient position sensors from the food and beverage industries, as well as technical advancements in optical position sensors, are driving expansion in this area. North America region is anticipated to witness a significant amount of growth in the forecast period 2024-2030. Growing spending by key players in the development of position sensors, as well as an increase in the use of position sensors for level measurement in large alcohol tanks, are contributing factors to market growth in this area. Moreover, the growing number of restaurants, fast-food chains, and meal delivery apps such as grub hub, caviar, and others increase customer access, resulting in substantial development in the food and beverage business in this region.  Furthermore, growing consumer desire for organic, natural, and fresh foods as a result of increased health consciousness is a significant driver predicted to boost demand for the food and beverage industry. Because of the shift in consumer food consumption trends and inclination toward a healthy lifestyle, the United States is witnessing a strong demand for gluten-free drinks, followed by Canada and Mexico. Consumers in the United States have good opinions of healthful food items, which may drive market expansion. The favorable regulatory environment, attempts by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to encourage gluten-free diets, and further subsidy allocations are expected to enhance the regional market throughout the projected period. The major element driving the strategy of Food and Beverage firms is the constantly altering customer trends. Consumers' lifestyles are changing, and there is a greater demand for processed and ready-to-eat meals, which is fueling the expansion of the food and beverage industry in this area. Thus with the rise of market for food and beverages, the market for position sensors also develops.

Food & Beverage Position Sensors Market Drivers

Increasing focus of manufacturing industry on accurate measurements and detailed inspection are anticipated to drive the market growth

In order to meet industry requirements, the manufacturing business need a high level of precision. To develop high-quality products, manufacturers rely on two critical parameters: measurement precision and thorough inspection. A position sensor detects a number of important properties such as profiling, width, height, step, gap, V-gap, edge, angle, bend, groove, and surface. The profiles on various item surfaces are also detected, measured, and evaluated using these sensors. When the position sensor is linked to the analytics program, many measurement jobs become much easier. As a result, the position sensor is helpful for automating, testing, or monitoring operations where displacement, distance, length, or position characteristics need to be detected.

Rising trends towards industrial automation tends to boost the market growth during the forecast period

Manufacturers in every industry are always under pressure to boost earnings while lowering expenses. Furthermore, the food and beverage sector is under pressure to adhere to FDA and other food safety and quality requirements. Automation is an obvious way to alleviate these constraints, since automated processes have been shown to boost efficiency, improve traceability, and preserve the brand's reputation while adhering to the necessary laws. According to the World Health Organization, 600 million people worldwide become unwell after eating contaminated food each year, with 4,20,000 deaths, resulting in the loss of 33 million healthy years. As a result, rising concerns about food safety and cleanliness have driven the use of automation in the food and beverage sector to maintain sanitary standards. This in turn drives the market growth for position sensor market.

Food & Beverage Position Sensors Market Challenges
