Magnetic Sensor Market: Automotive is Projected to be the Most Attractive Application Segment During the Forecast Period - Global Industry Analysis 2013 - 2017 and Opportunity Assessment 2018 - 2028

Introduction

A magnetic sensor is a small-scale micro electrochemical systems (MEMS) device for detecting and measuring fields. This sensor acts as a transducer which varies its output voltage in reaction to a magnetic field. These type of sensors are used for proximity switching, speed detection, positioning and current sensing applications.

Moreover, these sensors also detects changes and disturbances in a magnetic field like flux, strength and direction. This report includes magnetic sensors which are based on Hall Effect, AMR (Anisotropic Magneto-Resistive), GMR (Giant Magneto-Resistance), and TMR (Tunnel Magneto-Resistance) technologies.
