The anemometer market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $36.44 billion in 2024 to $39.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including a heightened focus on workplace safety, an increasing demand for wind energy solutions, greater investment in renewable energy sources, the expanding marine sector, and growing concerns about climate change.

The anemometer market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $51.12 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth during the forecast period is driven by factors such as increased oil and gas exploration activities, a higher frequency of extreme weather events, growing construction projects, greater adoption of wind energy, and heightened environmental awareness. Key trends expected in this period include the development of advanced sensor technologies, the rise of smart and digital anemometers, strategic collaborations, and the advancement of cutting-edge wind measurement technologies.

The growing adoption of wind energy is expected to drive the expansion of the anemometer market in the coming years. Wind energy is becoming increasingly popular due to government policies, technological advancements, and the global push for carbon neutrality. Its sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and technological improvements are key drivers behind its widespread adoption. An anemometer plays an essential role in wind energy by measuring wind speed and direction. This helps in assessing potential wind farm locations, optimizing turbine efficiency, and monitoring real-time wind conditions for power generation. For example, in April 2024, the Global Wind Energy Council reported that 117 GW of new wind power capacity was installed globally in 2023, marking a 50% increase from the previous year. This achievement included the highest number of new onshore wind installations, exceeding 100 GW, and the second-highest for offshore wind, with 11 GW. The global wind industry surpassed the 1 TW milestone in installed capacity, with expectations to reach 2 TW by 2030. As a result, the rising adoption of wind energy is fueling the growth of the anemometer market.

Key companies in the anemometer market are focusing on developing dual-axis ultrasonic anemometers to improve measurement accuracy, durability, and operational efficiency. These devices use ultrasonic sensors to measure wind speed and direction along two perpendicular axes, and they do so without relying on moving parts. In July 2023, Gill Instruments Ltd., a UK-based sensor manufacturer, introduced the WindUltra, a dual-axis ultrasonic anemometer designed for both marine and land applications. The WindUltra offers easy installation with various mounting options, such as a twist-lock 1-inch pole mount and a 1.75-2 inch band-clamp pole mount. Furthermore, it provides high-precision wind measurements, making it suitable for diverse environmental conditions.

In December 2022, LI-COR Inc., a US-based biotechnology company, acquired Anemoment LLC, a company that specializes in compact ultrasonic anemometers, for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance LI-COR’s capabilities by integrating Anemoment’s high-performance products, core technology, and expertise into related markets. The acquisition supports Anemoment’s long-term growth and stability and aligns with LI-COR’s commitment to innovation and quality.

An anemometer is a tool designed to measure wind speed and direction, commonly used in fields such as meteorology and environmental monitoring. It delivers essential data for tasks such as weather prediction, ensuring aviation safety, and assessing wind energy potential. This instrument plays a crucial role in improving efficiency in industries that depend on accurate wind measurements by detecting air movement.

The primary types of anemometer include vane anemometers, cup anemometers, hot-wire anemometers, and others. A vane anemometer measures wind speed and airflow through rotating blades that respond to air movement. The technologies used in these devices include light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and sonic detection and ranging (SODAR). Measurement categories encompass air velocity, wind speed, and wind pressure. These devices are employed in both offshore and onshore environments across a variety of industries, such as agriculture, aviation, oil and gas, marine, and transportation.
