The global arbitrary waveform generator market is growing, due to increasing requirements from communication sectors and increasing application of technology in manufacturing and military sectors. Additionally, it has been observed that enterprises are switching from traditional function generators to advanced performance producing arbitrary waveform generators. The advantage of using arbitrary waveform generator over archival function generators is that the performance of equipment can be enhanced, and it is also cost effective for the computing capabilities and applications. Some of the factors supporting the growth of the global arbitrary waveform generator market are limitations of conventional function generators, reduced operating expenses of manufacturing sector, and alignment of arbitrary waveform generator substructure based on machine requirements.
The Asia-Pacific market is expected to grow with the highest rate in the coming years, due to increased emphasis on manufacturing with high cost sensitivity and increased spending in research and development by various governments of the countries of the region. The European market is also expected to grow with a considerable rate in the coming years, due to increasing revenues from industries such as communications, aerospace and defense, and manufacturing. The market in Africa and Middle East are expected to mature in the coming years, due to shift in emphasis for effective manufacturing and policies of production center management.
In the measurement paraphernalia and overall test industry, the arbitrary waveform generator market is growing with a considerable rate. Among all the end users, education sector is leading the market due to applicability of waveform generators in all the technical universities, colleges, and schools. Among all the applications of, the global arbitrary waveform generator market, the medical and automobile segments are growing, due to materialization of human computer interaction. The usage of arbitrary waveform generator is also increasing in commercial applications, due to advanced integrity in direct digital synthesis integrated circuits.
The increased adoption of arbitrary waveform generator in armed forces, defense and aerospace sectors is also supporting the growth of the global market. The installation of arbitrary waveform generator has been made compulsory in some simulation purposes in the military research and development sector. The technology also supports the training of military personnel. In the previous years, many products were launched in the market from several test equipment vendors. One of the major trends observed in the market is increasing deployment of arbitrary waveform generator in new end user applications.
Some of the factors restraining the growth of the market are deciding AWG-to–equipment integrity, and high initial capital investments. Additionally, the stakeholder’s reluctance to invest in the technology and heavy custom duties on test equipment and imported measurement in the under-developed regions create challenges for the manufacturers in the market.
Some of the competitors in the global market are HAMEG Instruments GmbH, Stanford Research Systems Inc., Agilent Technologies, Dynamic Signals LLC, B&K Precision Corporation, Keithley Instruments Inc., and Fluke Corporation.
