Torque Sensor Market Synopsis

Torque Sensor Market Size Was Valued at USD 8.9 Billion in 2023, and is Projected to Reach USD 17.5 Billion by 2032, Growing at a CAGR of 7.8% From 2024-2032.

Torque sensors generally utilize a number of transduction techniques to convert the mechanical deformation to electrical signals. Among these techniques, the most widely used is based on the use of strain gauges, these are objects whose electrical resistance is changed under mechanical stress. These gauges are attached to a sensing element that changes its shape under the influence of the torque. It also includes piezoelectric sensing; capacitive sensing; and sensing due to variations in magnetic field.

  • The market for Torque Sensor is growing at a very fast pace due to increasing demand of EPS Systems and increasing popularity of Electric & Hybrid Vehicles. The automotive industry has perhaps undergone major transformation in the last few years due to the radical changes that have occurred in the different technologies that apply to automobiles and their usage. However, this could be vastly refined, and some noteworthy inventions include electric power steering commonly known as (EPS). Thus, the given work proved that EPS also known as electric power steering is a superior type of power steering, highly sensitive, efficient and friendly to the environment than the hydraulic power steering system.
  • Also, based on the driving circumstance, this system is capable of providing partial or full steering aid. For instance, assistance can be at the peak during parking operations where it can be slightly reduced during other functions like high speed drive to allow the drivers exercise control. The features like parking aid and lane keeping aid can be incorporated with EPS. It enhances the safety procedures in place and also provides the foundation for enhanced development of the self-driving automobiles.
  • Hence, a key aim of the EPS system is the achievement of safer, more efficient and comfortable transport, with benefits including optimal fuel consumption through to more immediate handling responses. It is forecasted that the function of EPS will increase because the automotive industry will advance more, contributing to the continual creation of the modern car. Therefore, increasing the application of the electric power system fosters the demand for torque sensors in the forecast period.

Torque Sensor Market Segment Analysis:

  • Torque Sensor Market Segmented based on Type, Application, Configuration, Technology, and Industry Vertical.

By Configuration, wired segment is expected to dominate the market during the forecast period

  • Due to Configuration the Torque Sensor Market has Classified in to Wired Torque Sensor and Wireless Torque Sensor. Unlike many HMI systems, wired torque sensor is used and it is connected through the cable. A small connector can be used to connect signal or the sensor can simply be wired directly. The type selects the amount of torque, or twisting force, that the tool will apply to an object. Wired torque sensors are used in truck and automotive applications, industrial equipment, and various medical devices. Wired torque sensor could be said that it is a reliable and accurate way of measuring torque. The are of different capacities and are applicable under static and as well as dynamic force conditions.

By Application, Robotics segment held the largest share in 2023

  • According to application, the torque sensor market covers Robotics, Engines, Automotive safety system, Assembly welding, Aircraft flight control, medical devices, and Others.
  • They are applied to determine the strain in the shafts, to test the clutches and gearboxes and for measurement of the dynamic torque within the engine. In addition electrical power meters for monitoring of horsepower are accompanied by torque sensors which are used for testing power train ,braking system, and suspension system for achieving best fuel economy. Using the identified automotive diagnostics data points as an example, many automakers employ in-vehicle torque sensors to map the engine torque loads and calibrate automatic transmissions per Camden et al. In some cases, measurements can be quite complex, for instance engine torque. The first technique is to install instruments to the flywheel, which is linked to the vehicle???s crankshaft of the engine and a torque converter. Yet another difficult application of torque measuring in the automobile industry is measuring of torque in CV (constant velocity) joints. The CV joint allows a driveshaft to transmit power at some constant angular velocity even when the angle between the two connecting shafts is not constant, hence without much hastening the wearing away due to friction. However, these torque measurements can be sometimes problematic due to the space constraints. However, manufacturers have workarounds.
