Each technique has its pro and cons that make it suited for a specific application.

  • The revival of the oil & gas and the expanding infrastructure in the water & wastewater industry are likely to drive growth in the medium to long term. Growth opportunities are opening in developing economies, such as China and India that have developed their oil and gas and chemical industries.
  • The increasing quest for new energy sources, renewable energy development, government regulations, and rapid technological advancements are the key drivers which are making the wireless flow sensors market to grow with a boom.
  • The wireless flow sensors market is being hindered by the maturity of the end-user segment and environmental impact on sensors. Manufacturers are investing in R&D activities, as accuracy and reliability are primary product selection criteria. Moreover, industry participants emphasize on product differentiation to avoid price competition.



Scope of the Report

Wireless flow sensor comprises of the flow sensor, RF transmitter, and RF receiver. Nowadays, installation doesn’t require expensive drilling, trenching, or digging, to install power or Input/Output wiring. Active and passive safety sensors have witnessed significant growth due to the need for accident mitigation systems, in the automotive sector. Emission of hazardous gases has led rules and regulation for emission control and resulted in the monitoring for the concentration of exhaust gases.

Key Market Trends

Increasing Adoption of Wireless Technologies to Drive the Market Growth

  • Wireless sensors are proving to be advantageous over wireline, with a wider range of features and compatibility, and faster response and lower power consumption. Growing investments by leading players and demand for wireless technologies from end-user industries are supporting the market.
  • With a growing number of companies moving toward wireless, the production costs are also declining, thereby enabling wider consumption in the market. However, lack of awareness and capital in developing markets and strong foothold of wireline sensors in traditional markets, are acting as restraints to the growth of wireless sensors, with many consumers being skeptical over the adoption of new technologies.
  • Moreover, the increasing adoption of Wi-Fi, WLAN across the globe is driving the wireless sensor market.



North America to Hold a Significant Market Share

  • The United States is the largest consumer of wireless flow sensors in North America. Wireless flow sensors occupy a major share in the United States with significant demand from the water and wastewater industry.
