The global LCR meter market size reached US$ 1.0 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1.3 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% during 2022-2028. The rising adoption of consumer electronics and electric motors, increasing export activities worldwide, and augmenting demand for LCR meters for batch checking of components and quality assurance and inspections represent some of the key factors driving the market.

LCR meter is a type of digital test device for measuring the inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) of circuits and electrical components at different frequencies. It can also be utilized to calculate the ratio of the current and voltage RMS values and measure the phase difference between the current and voltage waveforms. This equipment displays the value in numerical forms and is commonly available in two types, namely handheld and benchtop, in various sizes, ranging from 1 kHz to 100 MHz and above. While the handheld variant is lightweight, compact, and portable with a frequency between 0.1% and 0.2%, the benchtop type is non-portable with a frequency of 0.01%. It offers several advantages, including high measurement accuracy, automatic range identification, and speed to ensure resistance to alternating current (AC). As a result, it is widely used for direct and precise measurements of inductors, capacitors, and resistors using varying test frequencies. Presently, LCR meter finds extensive applications across the manufacturing and electronics industries and in laboratories for component calibration and circuit testing.

LCR Meter Market Trends:
The rising adoption of consumer electronics and electric motors represents the primary factor driving the market growth. This can be attributed to the surging use of electrical components, such as inductors and capacitors, in numerous modern appliances, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, electric vehicles (EVs), televisions, and refrigerators. Since these devices require electronic components to deliver superior performance for extended durations, manufacturers are focusing on developing high-frequency inductors for reliable power supply in electronics. This, coupled with the escalating adoption of wireless EV charging and a significant increase in electronics exports, is positively influencing the market growth. Additionally, there is a rise in the utilization of LCR meters in the electronics sector for performing quality checks, field observations, and inspection applications. In line with this, the growing focus of businesses on product enhancements or discoveries has catalyzed the demand for LCR meters for batch checking of components and quality assurance and inspections. Furthermore, various key players are engaging in research and development (R&D) activities to improve the accuracy, speed, and overall performance of LCR meters while lowering their weight. Besides this, recent product innovations, such as the launch of new environment-friendly meters and feature-rich variants with a user-friendly interface and enhanced measurement capabilities, have propelled market growth. Other major factors fueling the market growth include the advent of Industry 4.0, the emergence of new-age capacitors, significant expansion in the electronics and semiconductor industries, rapid digitization, and ongoing technological advancements.
