Corrosion Measuring Instrument Market Report 2026

The corrosion measuring instrument market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.61 billion in 2025 to $1.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of oil and gas infrastructure, growth in industrial asset monitoring, increasing regulatory safety requirements, rising use of non-destructive testing methods, availability of advanced corrosion sensors.

The corrosion measuring instrument market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.35 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments in smart infrastructure monitoring, growing adoption of remote inspection technologies, expansion of digital maintenance platforms, rising focus on lifecycle asset management, increasing deployment in marine and construction sectors. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of real-time corrosion monitoring systems, rising demand for portable inspection instruments, growing integration of predictive maintenance analytics, expansion of electrochemical measurement techniques, enhanced focus on asset integrity.

The growth in industrialization is expected to drive the expansion of the corrosion measuring instrument market moving forward. Industrialization involves transforming an economy from primarily agricultural to one centered on manufacturing and industrial production through the use of technology and machinery. This process is accelerating as ongoing technological advancements and automation enable industries to boost productivity, lower operational costs, and meet the increasing global demand for high-quality manufactured goods more efficiently. Corrosion measuring instruments contribute to industrialization by detecting and managing material degradation in equipment and infrastructure, thereby enhancing efficiency, reducing maintenance expenses, and extending asset lifespan for sustainable industrial operations. For example, according to Eurostat, the Luxembourg-based statistical office of the European Union, seasonally adjusted industrial production rose by 0.3% in the euro area and 0.2% in the EU in July 2025 compared to June 2025, with a year-on-year increase of 1.8% in both regions compared to July 2024. Thus, industrialization growth is fueling the expansion of the corrosion measuring instrument market.

Leading companies in the corrosion measuring instrument market are focusing on launching advanced corrosion monitoring solutions such as corrosion under insulation risk monitoring systems to improve real-time detection, enhance predictive maintenance, and reduce operational downtime in vital industrial infrastructure. A corrosion under insulation risk monitoring system is a technology that continuously detects and monitors corrosion on insulated metal surfaces, helping to prevent equipment failure and lower maintenance costs. For instance, in November 2023, CorrosionRADAR, a UK-based firm specializing in corrosion monitoring, introduced the LR (Long Range) generation of its Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) risk monitoring system. This system features a dual-sensor design for simultaneous corrosion and moisture detection, covering up to 50 meters per sensor. The battery-operated system wirelessly transmits data via LoRa over distances exceeding 1 kilometer and offers Bluetooth tablet access along with an advanced Clarity Dashboard for cloud or local data analytics. The LR platform is designed for comprehensive, predictive corrosion risk monitoring, early detection, and optimized maintenance, delivering significant improvements in asset integrity management and lowering related costs with automated, real-time insights.

In February 2024, Corrosion Innovations LLC, a US-based developer and manufacturer of advanced surface preparation and decontamination products, acquired HoldTight Solutions Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition aims to strengthen Corrosion Innovations’ product portfolio by incorporating HoldTight's popular products, HoldTight 102 and 365, providing a combined approach to soluble salt removal and testing. HoldTight Solutions Inc., also based in the US, is a recognized specialty chemical company that focuses on developing corrosion measuring instruments.
