Flow Meter Market is anticipated to grow substantially through 2032 given the growing product use in renewable energy applications. Flow meters help measure pressure, temperature, density, viscosity, and vapour pressure, in a single reading. Besides, it also supports monitoring safety conditions such as toxicity, bubbles, the presence of abrasives, and transmission qualities, which is anticipated to spur its adoption in the future.


The rising use of fluid flow meters in the everyday process in industries such as food and beverage, utility services, chemical, automotive, HVAC, petroleum, and many others will support the industry growth. The fluid flow meters further assist in regulating power generation and liquid flow in refineries and water treatment plants accurately.


The key players in the flow meter industry are constantly engaging in strategic initiatives including partnerships, mergers, acquisitions, and introduction of novel and advanced products to strengthen their foothold in the market. To cite an instance, in 2019, Emerson successfully acquired Zedi’s Software and Automation Businesses. With this new platform addition, Emerson will be able to assist oil and gas producers in increasing production and lowering operating costs through cloud-based monitoring, control, and optimization.


Overall, the flow meter industry is segmented in terms of product, industry verticals, and region.


Based on product, the thermal flow meter industry held over 5% market share in 2022. The segmental growth will come from the rising requirement for low-maintenance instruments to construct industrial plants. Besides, thermal flow meter offers several benefits, such as low maintenance and no temperature and pressure correction requirement, all of which are expected to spur its adoption in construction activities in the following years.


By industry verticals, the semiconductor segment accounted for over 1% market share in 2022. The thriving market expansion through 2032 can be credited to the increasing application of semiconductors in the automotive industry and electronics industries. In addition, a mass flow controller (MFC) is used to control gas flow to produce the desired structures during chip fabrication.


Regionally, the Europe flow meter industry is anticipated to depict over 20% market share by 2032, owing to high product growth in the European region. Besides, the presence of several leading giants in the flow meter manufacturing industry, such as ABB Ltd., Hydac Electronics, and more, has resulted in increasing the production of flow meters. In addition, the growing demand for Coriolis, magnetic, and ultrasonic flow meters will also help the market grow considerably in the future.
