The Middle East & Africa laser distance sensor market was valued at US$ 79.24 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 129.29 million by 2030; it is estimated to register at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2022 to 2030.
In March 2023, Panasonic presented the new laser distance sensor HG-F, which can detect reliably at distances of up to 3 m using ToF (Time of Flight) technology. The sensor can also be installed at a certain distance from the object to be measured so that employees or the movement radius of cobots or robot arms can operate freely.
In June 2023, Micro-Epsilon, a precision sensor supplier, introduced a non-contact laser distance sensor that measures distances up to 270 m with a resolution of 1 mm. This sensor measures reliably even in difficult environments such as dark, structured, or weakly reflecting objects.
According to the Managing Director of Nissan Middle East, in March 2022, the company reported a 9.9% sales increase across the Gulf in the first three quarters of 2021 compared to the same quarters of 2020. Thus, rising sales of automotive vehicles boost the demand for laser distance sensors for automotive sensing functionalities, which fuels the laser distance sensor market in the region.
