by Flow meters are devices used to measure linear, nonlinear, mass, or volumetric flow rates of gases or liquids. Flow meters are widely used across various process industries such as oil & gas, water & wastewater, chemicals, food & beverages, power generation, and pharmaceuticals for applications such as custody transfer, mixing, calibrations, blending, monitoring and control of fluid flows. They provide essential measurements to ensure optimal process operations, quality control and regulatory compliance. Flow meters are available in various technologies including electromagnetic, ultrasonic, differential pressure, positive displacement, vortex shedding, thermal mass, and Coriolis. Depending on the application requirements, a flow meter is carefully chosen based on parameters like fluid properties, flow rate, pressure, accuracy, turndown ratio, and operational environment.
The global Flow Meter Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 8.12 Billion in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 15% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights.
Market key trends:
One of the key trends in the flow meter market is the increasing adoption of advanced digital flow technologies. With Industry 4.0 and industrial internet of things (IIoT) becoming pervasive, flow meters are being integrated with digital platforms and cloud connectivity for remote monitoring and predictive maintenance. This allows real-time flow data collection, analysis and diagnostics to optimize process performance. Along with data connectivity, new generation flow meters also offer advanced diagnostics, digital signal processing and intelligent algorithms to deliver higher accuracy even under complex flow conditions. Various process industries are upgrading to digital flow meters to improve process visibility and efficiency through IIoT technologies. Another major trend is the increasing demand for multivariable flow meters that can simultaneously measure flow rate as well as other process variables like temperature, density, viscosity etc. This enables comprehensive flow measurement for complex fluid mixtures with varying properties. These smart flow meters support advanced applications like mass flow measurement
