Rotary Limit Switch Market Outlook (2022-2032)

According to Persistence Market Research, revenue from the global rotary limit switch market totaled US$ 850.4 Mn at the end of 2021. The market is expected to reach US$ 1.51 Bn by the end of 2032, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5%.

A rotary limit switch is a device used in industrial and construction lifting as well as for hoisting equipment to control the specific motion or movement of equipment. A rotary limit switch is activated by rotational or linear movement and uses a PLC or contactor as a power interface to control electric motors in the lifting equipment.

Rotary limit switches are generally used for heavy-duty applications and can achieve high precision. The shaft of a rotary limit switch is connected to a motor. After a pre-determined number of revolutions or angles, the switch operates and starts a movement, which is configured with a set number of revolutions. These switches are highly precise and durable; hence, they are an essential part of heavy-lifting operations.

Worldwide sales of rotary limit switches account for 45% to 50% of the global limit switch market.

Sales Analysis of Rotary Limit Switches (2017 to 2021) Vs. Market Outlook (2022 to 2032)

From 2017 to 2021, the market for rotary limit switches increased at 2.1% CAGR and is projected to grow at a value of a CAGR of 5.5% from 2022 to 2032. This increase in Y-o-Y growth is because of factors such as rising industrialization, developments in the transportation industry, and growing demand from other end-use industries.

Demand for rotary limit switches has significantly increased as a result of developing automation in industrial sectors, rise in application in metal and mining industries, growing number of assembly lines in the manufacturing industry, and rapidly growing industrialization & digitalization.

Rotary Limit Switches – Crucial for Heavy-Duty Lifting Applications

Rotary limit switches are critical elements in heavy-duty lifting applications. Due to their automatic operation, these switches reduce labor costs and increase operational efficiency at the site of operations. They are used to control conveyors, work tables, and electrically-operated doors, among others. Due to their unique functional capabilities for various end-use applications, rotary limit switches are expected to exhibit robust demand across industries during the forecast period.

The primary force for market expansion is the increasing dependence on industrial automation. In this era of Industry 4.0, most operations in manufacturing facilities have become easy and simple. In keeping with the general trend, the manufacturing industry is gradually moving away from manual methods and toward automated operation. This pattern is driving the need for rotary limit switches.

Additionally, the growing adoption of assembly lines in the manufacturing industry increases the need for rotary limit switches. Conveyer systems in assembly lines require this type of switch, and the rising demand for conveyor systems in various industrial sectors is resulting in the increasing demand for rotary limit switches in the global market.

Consistent growth in various end-use sectors such as process, material handling, transportation, etc., has also positively influenced the market.

Rising Industrial Automation Increasing Usage of Rotary Limit Switches

With more development in industrialization and urbanization, there is higher adoption of automation. This industrial automation is creating an opportunity for rotary limit switch manufacturers. Various machines, equipment, and conveyors used in the industry need a rotary limit switch for their operation.

Similarly, the rise in smart city development with infrastructure such as big buildings and malls owing to urbanization is creating opportunities for suppliers of rotary limit switches. Elevators and escalators need rotary limit switches for their operation. Also, automatic doors with sensors need these switches for their functioning. All these factors are positively impacting rotary limit switch demand growth and will open significant growth opportunities for market players.

Demand for rotary limit switches will significantly increase during the projection period for use in hazardous environments such as the oil & gas industry and others that need to limit human contact. Their minimal maintenance requirements and simple installation are key growth factors for the global market. With cutting-edge technologies, such as wireless operation, these products are gaining popularity across end-use sectors.

Opportunities for producers of rotary limit switches are anticipated to rise due to growing demand from material handling, electronics & automated machinery, flammable chemical production, and other manufacturing industries. Thus, the rising scope of limit switches in industrial applications is a prominent factor that will create growth opportunities for rotary limit switch manufacturing companies over the coming years.
