Automotive Throttle Position Sensor Market Synopsis
The Automotive Throttle Position Sensor Market is projected to grow from USD 32.2 Billion in 2021 to USD 79.8 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 9.5% during the forecast period (2023 - 2032). Vehicles have become more sophisticated as they integrate sensors to detect internal and external operating conditions. A throttle position sensor (TPS) is a three-wire potentiometer, providing a variable resistance, depending on the position of the throttle valve in internal combustion engines (ICE). Hence, it is called a throttle position sensor, which is typically positioned on the throttle valve spindle, so that it can directly monitor its position. The throttle position sensor is highly resistant to engine bay contaminants and prevents moisture formation in the engine as the moisture in the air converts into liquid and affects the engine. Furthermore, the throttle position sensors also have single-channel or dual-channel solutions that ensure functional safety according to ISO 26262.
The factors that are responsible for the growth of automotive throttle position sensor market are improving automotive infrastructure in countries such as Japan, China, Germany, Norway, and the US, stringent vehicle emission norms, the growing adoption of potentiometer throttle position sensors in passenger vehicles, across the globe. The growing demand for TPS in automatic transmission, and the rising concerns regarding engine safety, also add to its growth.The stringent emission norms such as EURO-6, BHARAT stage-VI and US tier-2 regulations have promoted the use advanced sensor technology, by OEMs, which will further lead to market growth. The, growth is, however, restrained by the standard protocols for the development of the throttle position sensor and the rising complexity in the design of throttle sensors, which raise the the ov erall cost of throttle sensors. The growing demand for advanced forms of throttle sensor, the growing economy in emerging countries, such as China, India, and Brazil, are the opportunities in the market.
The prominent players in the global automotive throttle position sensor market include Continental AG (Germany), Delphi Technologies (Ireland), Robert Bosch GmbH (Germany), Denso Corporation (Japan), HELLA GmbH & Co. (Germany), Magneti Marelli S.p.A (Italy), Infineon Technologies AG (Germany), Sensata Technologies, Inc. (US), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (Japan), and CTS Corporation (US).
.Automotive Throttle Position Sensor Market, By Segmentation
