A reed switch is made up of two ferromagnetic blades, which is hermetically sealed in the glass tube filled with inert gas such as nitrogen, to reduce blade corrosion. These blades are provided with some physical gap in between and can be closed using suitable magnetic force that is made from permanent magnet. In order to increase the shelf life of blades, it is coated with rhodium or ruthenium. Furthermore, reed switch provides benefits such as simple construction and longer life operations, reed switches are adopted in various industries including electronics & communications, automotive, security, robotics & automation, and others.
The global reed switch device market was valued at US$ 234.7 Mn in 2019 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period (2020-2027).

Market Restraints
Development of advanced technologies is expected to restrain growth of the global reed switch device market during the forecast period
Reed switch was developed in the Bell Telephone Laboratories, U.S., in 1936. Till date, it is being used in various industries as a cost-effective option for position detection. However, in the recent past, technologies such as AMR sensor have been developed, which may replace the reed switch in the near future. For instance, currently available AMR sensors in the market can provide same sensitivity as provided by reed switch, however, size of the AMR sensor drastically is reduced. Due to small size, AMR sensor can reduce the overall size of the device. Thus, development of advanced technologies is expected to restrain growth of the global reed switch device market during the forecast period.

Competitive Landscape
Key companies operating in the global reed switch device market include Littelfuse, Inc., RMCIP, Standex Electronics, Inc., Nippon Aleph, HSI Sensing, Inc., Coto Technology USA, PIT-RADWAR S.A., PIC GmbH, STG Germany GmbH, Harbin Electric Group, Zhejiang Xurui, Zippy Technology Corp., Honeywell International Inc., Molex Incorporated, and others.
These key market players are focusing on research and development of new products to capture new markets.
Key Developments
A reed switch is made of two ferromagnetic blades, which are hermetically sealed in a glass tube filled with inert gas such as nitrogen to reduce blade corrosion. These blades are protected from corrosion and other environmental parameters using rhodium or ruthenium. Reed switch devices are mainly divided into three types, normally open (A-Type), normally closed (B-Type), and changeover (C-Type). As per its application, type of reed switch device changes.
Market Dynamics
Reed switch device are mainly used to detect the opening of a door, when used as proximity sensor. Normally open reed switch device is used when the door is closed so that when the door opens, magnetic field changes and circuit becomes complete, which will trigger the alarm. Due to its simple construction and low cost operation, it remains as a good alternative for other proximity sensors. Increasing demand for security devices across the globe will drive growth of the global reed switch device market during the forecast period. According to Coherent Market Insights’ analysis, the global security door market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.2% over the forecast period.
Due to government initiatives to reduce carbon footprints, governments across the globe are providing incentives for electric vehicles. For instance, the government of Norway provides various advantages to electric car owners and sellers such as no sales tax for electric car companies to sell vehicles in Norway, annual tax reduction to electric car owners, and others. Due to these factors, the electric vehicle market is expected to witness growth over the forecast period. Reed switch device is used in electric vehicles at charging points. Increasing demand for electric vehicle will, in turn, increase demand for reed switch devices.
