APAC is projected to account for 29% of the global flow meter market share growth by 2028. Technavio's analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period. The market is driven by stringent piping requirements in various industries such as oil and gas, water and wastewater management, and chemicals. Flow meters play a crucial role in monitoring and measuring the volume of fluids and gases in pipelines. Advanced flow meter technology, including ultrasonic, magnetic, and Coriolis, is increasingly being adopted due to their high accuracy and reliability. Material selection for flow meters is critical to ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, particularly in harsh environments. Common materials used include stainless steel, brass, and PVC.
Coriolis flowmeters are leading innovations due to their accuracy and reliability in various industries, including water and wastewater management and chemical and petroleum refinement sectors. Players in the market are investing in wireless monitoring and control solutions, integrating Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to enhance real-time data acquisition and analysis. The market features a range of flowmeters, including mass flow controllers, wired and wireless magnetic flowmeters, differential pressure (DP) flowmeters, and positive displacement (PD) flowmeters. The rise of battery-powered options further supports flexibility in deployment. As the industry evolves, these technologies continue to cater to diverse needs, enhancing efficiency and operational effectiveness across sectors.
The benefits associated with flow meters are a key factor driving global flow meter market growth. The growth of the global market is attributed to the use of these meters in different end-user industries due to the benefits. These meters are used for educational purposes in university science and engineering programs. They are also used in housing projects to track the amount of water used. Engineers have created liquid flow meters that can withstand extreme variables such as changing outdoor temperature and pressure regardless of weather conditions and provide accurate results.
Moreover, the use of these meters provides benefits besides measurements, such as in helping to control the velocity of fluids and their use. It can also save water from being wasted by detecting leakages in pipes. Thus, the benefits associated with these meters will boost the global market during the forecast period.
The advent of integrated DP flow meter solution will fuel flow meter market growth. With ongoing technological advances in the global market, the advent of integrated DP flow meter solutions by Emerson Electric is considered one of the recent advances. It is a combination of existing advances and patented technologies to deliver benefits such as streamlined installation, reduced downtime, and elimination of required straight-run piping for end-users with hydrocarbon and other harsh environment applications.
In addition, it eliminates the common DP flow meter requirement for up to 44 pipe diameters of straight run upstream and six diameters downstream of the meter. Therefore, installation is simplified, and the cost is reduced. The adoption of the solution is expected to increase during the forecast period due to its unique functions and benefits contributing to the growth of the flow meter market.
The fluctuations in the prices of crude oil are the major challenge to flow meter market growth. It plays an important role in the oil and gas industry. They are used in refineries and gas processing plants. Flow meters such as Coriolis, ultrasonic, vortex, and turbine meters measure both gas and liquid flow in in-plant measurement. In addition, they are also used in blending operations for liquid hydrocarbons. The oil and gas industry, which is closely associated with the upstream industry, was directly affected by the turn of events. The downturn in oil prices had a significant effect on companies that offer flow meters to the upstream and midstream phases of the oil and gas industry.
Moreover, many large E&P projects were canceled or postponed, especially subsea projects. The rapid fall in crude oil prices triggered a massive withdrawal of investments, with the upstream sector bearing the major brunt. The profitability of companies fell drastically, with many registering significant losses. This has been a major challenge for the industry as fluctuations in the demand and supply of oil and gas can either increase or decrease the price, affecting the industry and its associated markets.
