The electrical test equipment market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent times, the electrical test equipment market has experienced substantial growth. Projected growth will see its value escalate from $6.63 billion in 2024 to $7.11 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%.
The growth within the historical timeframe can be attributed to factors such as the expansion of the power sector, a surge in electronics demand, strict regulatory standards, increasing energy efficiency awareness, and the need for regular upkeep and calibration.
The electrical test equipment market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the coming years, the electrical test equipment market is projected to experience significant growth. It's anticipated to expand to $8.95 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%.
This projected growth within the forecast period is driven by factors such as an increased demand for electronics and electrical gadgets, the widespread adoption of renewable energy, the proliferation of industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, and the global rollout of 5G networks. Key trends during the forecast period include technological progress, product innovation, and strategic partnerships.
As the prevalence of electricity-related mishaps swells, so too is the expected growth of the electric test equipment market. These mishaps consist of unintentional and harmful contact with electrical power, often culminating in injuries, damages or fatalities. The key causes of these accidents are the lack of suitable safety precautions, a general unawareness, improper upkeep of electrical systems and a scarcity of thorough training on electrical safety protocols. Electric test equipment functions as a main mechanism to avert such accidents by aiding in the detection of potential dangers, evaluating the state of electrical structures, and ensuring that safety benchmarks are met. For example, Onedesk Inc., a helpdesk and project management software organization based in Canada, reported in August 2022 that there are annually about 500 to 1,000 deaths due to electrical injuries and roughly 30,000 instances of nonfatal electrical injuries in the US alone. Thus, the ramping incidences of electricity-related accidents serve as a catalyst for the expanding electric test equipment market.

Significant players in the electrical test equipment market, such as Fluke Corporation, are focusing on the production of advanced products like the fluke 377 FC and 378 non-contact voltage true-rms AC/DC clamp meters. These products prioritize safety by including non-contact voltage measurement features, utilizing fieldsense technology to boost test performance and efficiency. The equipment allows users to gauge voltage without making direct electrical contact, thus promoting safer and more convenient voltage measurements through capacitive coupling with the live conductor. In March 2022, Fluke Corporation, a leading US firm in the fabrication of industrial test, measurement, and diagnosis tools, unveiled a new series of clamp meters, the 377 FC and 378. These clamp meters are designed to amplify the safety standards of electrical measurements for maintenance technicians. Also, their True-RMS AC/DC clamp meters use non-contact voltage measurement to execute quick electrical tests without the necessity of direct contact with live parts. Other features such as FieldSense technology, an iFlex current probe, fluke connect software, a power quality indicator, and user-friendliness further augment safety, efficiency, and precision in electrical testing.
