Scope of the Report

The global Absolute Grating Ruler market size is predicted to grow from US$ 326 million in 2025 to US$ 475 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2026 to 2032.

Linear encoders sense and digitize linear position change for position measurement and feedback to control systems. Linear encoders are available in two types, absolute and incremental, as defined by their position signals. Absolute linear encoders create a unique position signal that is available anywhere along travel. The exact position will be read after power cycling. Incremental linear encoders do not generate a unique signal. The encoder is zeroed after power-down and relies on another switch or encoder for initial reference.

Currently the key manufacturers of linear encoders include HEIDENHAIN, Fagor Automation, Renishaw, Mitutoyo, TR-Electronic GmbH, TR-Electronic GmbH, and Givi Misure. Among them, HEIDENHAIN is the world's largest linear encoders manufacturer, accounting for more than 50% of the global market share.

CNC machine tools are the largest application market for linear encoders. According to our research, the global CNC machine tool market size was US$ 60 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach US$90 billion in 2030. The global key manufacturers of CNC machine tools include Yamazaki Mazak, Trumpf, Okuma Corporation, Makino, JTEKT Corporation, DMG Mori Seiki, DN Solutions, Grob-Werke, Haas Automation, Hermle, etc. In 2023, the global top five players had a share approximately 20 % in terms of revenue.
