The Global Intelligent Flow Meter Market was valued at US$ 2,677.6 Mn in 2022 and is expected to surpass US$ 4,005.2 Mn by 2030, registering a CAGR of 5.16% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Intelligent flow meter is an electronic device that is used to measure the linear and non-linear volumetric flow of liquid. Intelligent flow meters are used in many industries such as food & beverages, oil & gas, chemical, and pharmaceuticals. The demand for intelligent flow meters is increasing, as they are more reliable, accurate, and stable for calibration. For instance, in August 2020, KROHNE Group, a processes instrumentation company, launched DK32 flow meter for continuous monitoring and control of low flow applications of liquid and gases. Furthermore, intelligent flow meters help plant manufacturers to monitor the flow trend of liquid and gases, improve operational efficiency, and enhance visibility.
Global Intelligent Flow Meter Market: Drivers
Growing Demand for Water
Humans consume vast quantities of water and create an increasing amount of wastewater. This places greater emphasis on environmentally responsible water treatment and leveraging reclaimed resources. Flow measurement is a basic and important control parameter for ensuring that clean, high-quality water is available. Applications ranging from water storage and transmission to wastewater treatment, leak detection and pump management cannot be done without flow meter technology. This demand for fresh drinking water is going to drive the flow meter in water & wastewater sector.
Global Intelligent Flow Meter Market: Opportunities
The projection period is anticipated to see the opening of new manufacturing facilities. To cut lead times, waste, and unscheduled downtime, manufacturing facilities are putting more of an emphasis on automation which will increase demand for flow meters. Asia Pacific's rapid industrialization, rising standards of life, sizable population, and cheap labor have encouraged businesses to locate there to meet demand.
Global Intelligent Flow Meter Market: Restraints
Flow Meters are made of expensive materials such as polymers, metals and alloys. The fluctuation in the prices of these materials makes it hard to produce quality raw materials to produce these flow meters and manage their delivery from the suppliers. Due to COVID 19 pandemic, the supply chain across the globe was disrupted which in turn affected the prices of raw materials. This restraints the Market completely.
Global Intelligent Flow Meter Market- Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many industries witnessed a significant shift in their business. Many countries had imposed lockdowns to contain the coronavirus, and consequently, the oil industry has been heavily impacted. Many oil production companies suspended their operations temporarily. Countries were facing huge challenges as the price of oil had fallen in the international market and countries across the globe reduced the import of crude oil. As intelligent flow meters are used in the oil industry, and currently, the whole oil industry is suffering a lot due to COVID-19, the demand for intelligent flow meters in the oil industries reduced.
