.jpg "The Global Flow Meters Market 2020-2030 (USD Million)")
Flow meters, sometimes also referred to as flow sensors, are basically electronic devices that primarily measure or regulate the flow rate of liquids and gases within the pipes and tubes. They are commonly used in HVAC systems, medical devices, chemical factories, and septic systems. These meters can primarily detect leaks, blockages, pipe bursts, and changes in the liquid concentration, owing to any contamination or pollution. Flow meters can be divided into two groups: contact and non-contact flow meters. Non-contact flow meters are majorly used when the liquid or gas (generally, a food product) is being monitored would be otherwise contaminated or physically altered by coming in contact with the moving parts.
The global flow meters’ market size is predicted to reach over USD 13.1 billion by 2028. This can be ascribed to the global focus on increasing process automation. Growing industrialization has increased the focus on automation and customization in Asia Pacific. This has also led to increased demand for intelligent monitoring and controlling tools & technologies, including flow meters. Besides, growing industrial demand regarding safety and efficiency concerns is also the key factor driving the market growth for flow meters.
However, economic slowdown and declining oil prices coupled with rising cost with product advancement is hampering the market growth. Flow meters are made from metal, polymers, and alloys, among other components. Fluctuating prices of these materials make it challenging for OEMs to procure high-quality raw materials and manage delivery schedules imposed by suppliers, which further increases the cost of flow meters. Furthermore, increasing capacity expansion in high growth markets is likely to provide lucrative development opportunities for the flow meters’ market in the forthcoming years. The industry participants are keen on addressing the demand in growing economies. Rapid industrialization, improving living standards, a huge population base, and low-cost labor in Asia Pacific have motivated companies to establish their facilities in this region and cater to the demand.
