Global Gap Type Photointerrupters Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Gap Type Photointerrupters market size is predicted to grow from US$ 2290 million in 2025 to US$ 3251 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2025 to 2031.
A Photointerrepter is a non-amplified photomicrosensors, also commonly known as optical switches or photomicrosensor, are infrared emitter/detector pairs contained in a compact single housing designed to detect the presence or absence of objects.
The two basic types of photointerrupters are the transmissive type (gap type) and the reflective type. The transmissive type is easier to operate because all optical elements are already adjusted.
