What Has Been the Growth Trajectory for the Flow Meter Market in Recent Years?
The flow meter market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
•The market size of flow meters has witnessed a substantial upward trend in the past few years. The projection points towards an increment from $9.05 billion in 2024 to $9.55 billion in 2025, maintaining a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.5%.
Several significant factors have contributed to this historic growth, including industrial automation, management of water and wastewater, oil and gas exploration, trade globalization, and infrastructure development.
How Does the Forecast Look for the Flow Meter Market?
The flow meter market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Over the next few years, a robust growth is projected for the flow meter market, with expectations to surge to $12.59 billion in 2029, registering a CAGR of 7.2%.
The upturn in the forecast period is credited to factors like integration with industry 4.0, expansion of renewable energy, water preservation efforts, demands from the healthcare sector, and environmental surveillance. Key trends during the forecast period are anticipated to be digital metamorphosis, wireless connections, the rise in demand for ultrasonic and coriolis flow meters, and environmental legislations.
What Are the Critical Driver Fuelling the Flow Meter Market's Growth?
The expansion of the oil and gas industry, as well as the wastewater industry, is predicted to stimulate the flow meter market's growth. The oil and gas sector encompasses the extraction, refinement, and distribution of oil and natural gas, while the wastewater sector deals with the treatment and management of wastewater prior to its return to the environment, with the objective of eliminating pollutants. Both these sectors rely heavily on flow meters to assess and track fluid flow rates in crude oil, natural gas, and other wastewater fluids across treatment plants and other facilities. For example, in 2024, the Energy Information Administration, an American statistical agency under the Department of Energy, reported that US crude oil production peaked at 12.9 million barrels per day in 2023, a 9% rise from the previous year. This has spurred growth in crude oil exports, notwithstanding the fact that most U.S. refineries are geared towards heavy, sour crude oils. Consequently, the burgeoning oil and gas and wastewater sectors are catalyzing the progress of the flow meter market in the future.
