Radiation Hardened Feedback Sensors Market: Strategic Insights
Miniaturized devices play a crucial role in providing precise measurements under harsh radiation environments. These sensors offer significant benefits such as improved radiation resistance, space-saving, and extended operational lifespan in a wide range of applications—aerospace & defense, space, and nuclear power plants. The primary advantage of miniaturized radiation hardened feedback sensors is their improved efficiency. The reduced size of radiation hardened feedback sensors allows manufacturers to optimize their operational performance, enable faster response times, and provide more accurate readings. This enhanced efficiency of miniaturized radiation hardened feedback sensors is highly beneficial in applications where real-time data acquisition and analysis are critical, such as in particle accelerators and nuclear reactors.
Miniaturization of sensors opens up possibilities to integrate radiation hardened feedback sensors into a wide range of electronic devices such as satellites, nuclear reactors, microcontrollers, radiation therapy or imaging devices, and particle accelerators. The integration of such sensors ensures accurate and reliable measurements in the presence of ionizing radiation. The key players operating in the market are taking several strategic steps, such as partnerships, collaborations, and new product launches. For instance, in March 2020, MACCON GmbH & Co. KG launched DS-16 encoders with only 16mm outside diameter. DS-16 is the new miniature capacitive encoder that provides absolute feedback and is designed to fulfill the needs of medical systems and robotics applications. Thus, the rising demand for miniaturized radiation hardened feedback sensors drives the market.
Advanced radiation hardened feedback sensors are designed to support users to continue their operations in the exposure of high levels of radiation. These sensors offer several benefits to the users or systems operating in harsh environments. The sensors ensure that the critical system receives the proper feedback required to function properly. This reliability is highly essential in spacecraft navigation or nuclear reactor control. Moreover, the development of advanced radiation hardened feedback sensors ensures the safety of critical systems by providing stable and precise feedback in challenging radiation environments.
Radiation hardened feedback sensors are used in numerous applications to ensure the reliability, safety, and longevity of systems operating in the harsh environment. The growing demand for advanced radiation hardened feedback sensors has encouraged manufacturers to develop new innovative sensors or upgrade existing sensors with additional features. For instance, in March 2022, Netzer Precision Position Sensors A.C.S. Ltd. developed and launched a new VLM-60 capacitive multi-turn absolute encoder for harsh environments. The VLM-60 is an electric, non-contact capacitive multi-turn absolute encoder designed for a wide range of demanding tasks in the aerospace & defense, medical, automotive, and robotics industries. This capacitive encoder offers significant benefits to the users, such as being extremely durable and resistant to vibrations and shocks. The low profile, compact, high-density designs and hollow shaft structure provide unparalleled accuracy and resolution encoders, further supporting users in generating precise position or motion feedback for controlling systems in the radioactive environment.
Key segments that contributed to the derivation of the radiation hardened feedback sensors market analysis are sensor and application.
The geographic scope of the radiation hardened feedback sensors market report is mainly divided into five regions: North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa, and South & Central America.
Asia Pacific had the highest growth rate in 2023. Asia Pacific witnessed significant growth in nuclear power in the past and has considerable plans for the construction of more nuclear power plants. China has increased its renewable capacity even though it has lowered its support for renewables through incentives, particularly solar projects. China's National Energy Administration (NEA) announced in 2021 that solar photovoltaic systems are mandatory to be installed on all residential and commercial rooftops. By the end of 2023, solar PV modules are required to be installed on 20% of residential rooftops, 30% of commercial rooftops, 40% of non-government public buildings, and 50% of government buildings. India has also been catching up with the expanding trend of solar panels on rooftops. The Pradhan Mantri Suryodaya Yojana (PMSY) program, introduced by the Indian government in January 2024, aimed to supply rooftop solar (RTS) power systems to 10 million households.
The governments operating in APAC are also developing more nuclear plants. For instance, in February 2023, the Japanese government announced plans to restart nuclear power facilities that had been put on hold when it unveiled the New Basic Energy Plan until 2030, drastically altering the nation's prior nuclear policy. In August 2022, Japan announced its intention to develop and build next-generation nuclear power plants in a major shift from the country's post-Fukushima disaster policy of refraining from the construction of new nuclear plants. The Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) compiled a draft on the construction of new plants, with plans to start commercial operation during the 2030 decade. Further, in January 2024, China's State Council approved the construction of four new nuclear reactors. In nuclear power plants, radiation hardened feedback sensors are widely used in reactor control systems to monitor and regulate key parameters such as neutron flux, reactor power, temperature, pressure, and coolant flow. Therefore, the increasing demand for these sensors in nuclear power plants is propelling the market growth.
