The digital multimeter market is poised for significant growth, driven by the escalating trend in industrial automation. Industrial automation involves the utilization of robots, machines, and control systems to perform tasks traditionally carried out by humans. Digital multimeters (DMMs) play a crucial role in measuring and verifying electrical parameters like voltage, current, and resistance. They are essential tools in troubleshooting electrical systems and identifying malfunctions within industrial automation processes. For instance, as of February 2022, the International Federation of Robotics reported a global deployment of 3 million industrial robots, marking a 10% increase from the previous year. This underscores the growing integration of technology and automation across diverse industries, fueling the expansion of the digital multimeter market.

Anticipated growth in the automotive industry is set to be a significant driving force behind the expansion of the digital multimeter market. The automotive sector encompasses a wide array of companies and organizations involved in the conception, development, production, marketing, sales, maintenance, and customization of motor vehicles. Digital multimeters are indeed highly versatile and portable tools used extensively in the automotive sector by technicians and mechanics because they provide accurate and reliable measurements, making them invaluable for maintenance and repair tasks in the automotive industry. For instance, in May 2023, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based automobile manufacturers association, in 2022, the global production of motor vehicles reached 85.4 million units, reflecting a notable increase of 5.7% compared to 2021. Furthermore, according to Brand Finance PLC, a UK-based brand valuation company, in 2022, the automobile sector achieved approximately 78 million unit sales, marking a substantial 10% increase compared to both 2021 and 2020. Therefore, the expanding automotive industry is driving the growth of the digital multimeter market.

The increasing cost of digital multimeters is expected to pose a challenge to market growth in the forecast period. High-quality digital multimeters are meticulously designed to deliver precise and accurate measurements. Achieving and sustaining this level of precision and construction quality necessitates intricate components and calibration, potentially driving up production costs. For example, in August 2022, according to the Data Intensive and Pervasive Systems Lab, a US-based education portal for electrical and electronics students, digital multimeters like the Fluke 87V MAX True-RMS come at a considerable price, retailing at $588.99. Consequently, the escalating cost of digital multimeters is impeding the market's growth prospects moving forward.

Companies in the digital multimeter market are embracing cutting-edge technologies, including digital multimeters equipped with infrared sensors, to maintain their competitive edge. A digital multimeter with an infrared sensor integrates a non-contact infrared thermometer for accurately measuring the surface temperatures of objects. For example, in May 2023, Teledyne FLIR LLC, a US-based thermography company, introduced the DM286 Infrared Guided Measurement (IGM) multimeter. The FLIR DM286 multimeter with IGM now features FLIR's unique multispectral dynamic imaging (MSX) technology, enhancing thermal image clarity in real time by incorporating visible light information. This system is designed to facilitate electricians in identifying hot spots and other potential trouble areas with greater ease, safety, and speed. It comes with a built-in visible-light camera, a Lepton thermal microcamera offering a thermal resolution of 160 x 120, and a powerful LED work light for utilizing MSX in low-light conditions.safety, and speed. It comes with a built-in visible-light camera, a Lepton thermal microcamera with 160 x 120 thermal resolution, and a powerful LED (light-emitting diode) work light for operating MSX in low light.
