by The global Flow Meter Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.12 Bn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.7% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market Overview:
Flow meters are devices that measure the linear, nonlinear, mass or volumetric flow rate of a liquid or gas. They are ideal for monitoring gas and liquid flows, batching process, measuring filling times and carrying fugitive emissions. Flow meters provide accurate flow measurements for chemical, oil & gas, pharmaceutical, pulp & paper and food & beverage industries. They help in optimization of operations, quality control checks and complying with environmental regulations.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the flow meter market is the innovation of ultrasonic flow meters. Ultrasonic flow meters use ultrasound technology and transit-time measurement to determine flow rate without contacting the fluid. They are highly accurate for fluids with varying properties and require no pressure drop. Moreover, introduction of Coriolis meters is gaining traction as they can measure mass flow, volume flow, density and temperature with high accuracy. These flow meters are widely used across industries for custody transfer applications. Advances in design and reduced prices are further expected to drive their adoption over the forecast period.
