Anemometer Market Report 2026

The anemometer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $38.47 billion in 2025 to $40.96 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of meteorological monitoring networks, increased use of wind measurement in aviation safety, growth in onshore wind energy projects, rising demand for environmental monitoring equipment, improvements in sensor miniaturization.

The anemometer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.58 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in renewable wind energy projects, rising adoption of smart weather stations, expansion of offshore wind farms, growing demand for real-time environmental data, increased integration with predictive analytics platforms. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing deployment of iot-enabled wind measurement devices, rising adoption of remote and automated weather monitoring, growing use of advanced sensor technologies for accuracy, expansion of offshore wind assessment applications, enhanced integration with data analytics platforms.

The growing adoption of wind energy is anticipated to drive the expansion of the anemometer market in the coming years. This rise in wind energy use is supported by government policies, declining costs, technological advancements, and global initiatives toward carbon neutrality. Wind energy is increasingly favored due to its sustainability, cost-efficiency, technological improvements, and global efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Anemometers play a vital role in wind energy by measuring wind speed and direction, assisting in the assessment of potential wind farm sites, optimizing turbine performance, and monitoring real-time wind conditions for power generation. For example, in April 2024, the Global Wind Energy Council, a Portugal-based international trade association, reported that in 2023, a record 117 GW of new wind power capacity was installed worldwide, a 50% increase from the previous year. The year saw over 100 GW of new onshore wind installations and 11 GW offshore, marking the second-highest offshore capacity addition. The global wind industry also surpassed 1 TW of installed capacity, with projections to reach 2 TW by 2030. Consequently, the rising adoption of wind energy is propelling the growth of the anemometer market.

The anemometer market is witnessing a trend toward innovative wind measurement devices, particularly dual-axis ultrasonic systems, aimed at improving measurement accuracy, durability, and operational efficiency. Dual-axis ultrasonic anemometers utilize ultrasonic sensors to determine wind speed and direction along two perpendicular axes without any moving parts. For instance, in July 2023, Gill Instruments Ltd., a UK-based sensor manufacturer, introduced the WindUltra, a dual-axis ultrasonic anemometer suitable for both marine and terrestrial applications. The WindUltra offers fast installation and alignment options, including a twist-lock 1-inch pole mount and a 1.75-2 inch band-clamp pole mount. It also provides high-precision wind measurement capabilities, making it effective under various environmental conditions.

In October 2024, Senseca, a Germany-based environmental monitoring and measurement technology company, acquired Biral for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Senseca to strengthen its meteorological sensing capabilities by incorporating Biral’s high-precision anemometers and advanced weather monitoring instruments, aligning with its strategic focus on weather monitoring and renewable energy applications. Biral is a UK-based company specializing in the production of advanced meteorological sensors, including anemometers.
