Magnetic field sensor is a device which is used for studying the field around electrical devices, coils and permanent magnets. These sensors were previously used only for direction finding or navigation by sensing the Earth's magnetic poles. However, the application of magnetic field sensors have expanded vastly as different industries have adopted a variety of these sensors to detect the direction, presence or strength of not only earth's magnetic field, but also from magnetized soft magnets, permanent magnets, vehicle disturbances and fields generated from electric currents. Demand for better efficiency and high sensing performance is fuelling the adoption of these sensors in various applications. The global magnetic field sensors market has been segmented on the basis of technology, types, applications and geography. A cross sectional study of the market broadly across four major regions has also been covered under the purview of the study.
