The growing demand in the energy sector is fueling the expansion of the flowmeter market. The energy industry encompasses all activities related to the production, generation, distribution, and consumption of energy. Flowmeters are widely utilized in this sector to measure and monitor the flow of various fluids, including oil, natural gas, water, and steam. These devices deliver essential data for energy production, distribution, and consumption, supporting efficient operations and ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations. For example, in September 2023, the UK Government Digital Service reported a 3 GW increase in renewable energy capacity since Quarter 2 of 2022, including 1.2 GW from offshore wind, 1.1 GW from solar PV, and 0.7 GW from onshore wind, reflecting a 5.8% year-on-year growth. In Quarter 2 of 2023, renewable energy sources accounted for 42.1% of total power generation, surpassing both fossil fuels (38.8%) and the same quarter in the previous year (38.7%). Consequently, the rising energy demand is driving growth in the flowmeter market.

Key players in the flowmeter market are increasingly adopting innovative technologies, such as single-cable Ethernet-based flowmeters, to streamline installation, enable real-time monitoring, and reduce operational costs. These flowmeters transmit both power and data through a single Ethernet cable, offering simplified installation, lower costs, and reliable real-time monitoring compared to traditional multi-cable systems. For instance, in September 2023, ABB Ltd., a Switzerland-based industrial technology company, introduced a new flowmeter series for process industries. The devices provide high-precision measurement of liquids and gases, ultra-fast digital data transmission for process control systems, built-in diagnostics, and self-monitoring for enhanced reliability. They are compatible with multiple industry communication standards, feature compact design, improved signal stability, and low maintenance requirements. Applications span chemical, water/wastewater, food & beverage, and oil & gas sectors, with benefits including faster response times, improved process reliability, reduced downtime, and seamless integration into automated process-control systems.

In September 2024, Baumer, a global company based in Switzerland, acquired Manas Microsystems Pvt. Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. The goal of this acquisition is to strengthen Baumer's position in the flow measurement market by utilizing Manas Microsystems' innovative technology, established customer base, and expertise. Manas Microsystems Pvt. Ltd. is an India-based manufacturing company that produces flow meters for measuring the flow of liquids and gases. The company operates in the industrial automation and instrumentation sector, providing innovative solutions for various applications across different industries.
