Executive Summary
According to the report titled 'Flow Meter Market by Type and End Use: Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2019-2026', the global flow meter market size was valued at $7.3 billion in 2018, and is projected to reach $11.9 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2019 to 2026.Flow meter is a metering device used in almost every process industries to measure the volume or mass of liquid and gas. Flow meter consists of various components including tube, scale, indicator, coil, and others. Flow meters deal with large flow quantities, and hence their performance is very much dependent on the parameters such as pressure, viscosity, density and temperature of the fluid.
The global flow meter market is moving toward the maturity phase in its industry life cycle wherein growth opportunities are largely influenced by technological advancement. Development in technology is helping manufacturers to develop technologically advanced new generation flow meter that aimed to be more user-friendly with better functionalities. Therefore, the need for skilled manpower can be eliminated, reducing the overall cost. Some of the other factors contributing to the global flow meter market growth are rise in demand for smart and intelligent flow meters, and increase in adoption in industries like power generation, oil & gas, water, and wastewater treatment.
By type, the differential pressure segment accounted for the largest flow meter market share in 2018. This is highly attributed to its unique function of taking direct measurement of volume. It is one of the traditional types of flow meter whose applications are seen in almost all types of industries. This makes them easily adaptable and easy to operate. This in turn boosts the demand in the flow meter industry.
