Pressure Transmitter Market Future Prospects
The global pressure transmitter market revenue is estimated at USD 3,211.6 million in 2024, and it is expected to reach USD 4,168.7 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 4.4% during 2024-2030.
The rise in the adoption of industrial automation across the globe, owing to its benefits such as improved product quality, increased productivity, lower operational costs, and the preservation of health and safety, is one of the major factors driving the market. The preference of both the process and discrete sectors for implementing automated systems and digital communication interfaces over traditional, analog transmitters for remote calibration and diagnostics is further driving the pressure transmitter market growth, as these technologies result in improved plant efficiency.
Multivariable Pressure Transmitters Are Major Trend
The mass flow is measured and calculated as a function of absolute pressure, temperature, and differential pressure by the multivariable transmitter.
Its main advantage is that it just requires one device as opposed to a mass flow calculator and many transmitters.
These transmitters assist in improving productivity, plant safety, and process efficiency, while cutting the ownership expenses dramatically.
Furthermore, multivariable transmitters bring together integrated sensors, microprocessor technology, and dynamic flow adjustment to provide precise flow measurements consistently.
Within the differential pressure transmitter and flowmeter industries, the trend of multivariable transmitters is expected to continue, as these products often cost lesser compared to buying the transmitters separately.
Therefore, the increasing demand for multivariable pressure transmitters will offer lucrative opportunities to the major market players during the forecast period.
Rising Demand for Wireless Transmitters Is Key Market Driver
The growth in the demand for wireless pressure transmitters is one of the most-important factors driving the development of the pressure transmitter market.
Furthermore, new installation of such transmitters is becoming more common.
These devices can be easily installed in remote regions and frequently offer reduced installation costs, by eliminating wiring runs. Moreover, battery-powered transmitters are filling the void.
They have a wide range of applications, including water tank level monitoring, pump monitoring, wastewater monitoring, and leakage monitoring.
For instance, Honeywell International Inc.’s Smart Line is a scalable, secure, flexible, and cost-effective wireless pressure transmitter solution for pressure detection, control, and monitoring, which works in combination with its wireless network technology.
The enhancement of the XYR 6000 wireless transmitter allows users to select the wireless protocol best suited to their individual process automation applications.
Integration with Existing Industrial infrastructure Poses Challenges
A key challenge for the market is the difficulties in integrating pressure transmitters with the existing infrastructure.
Since these components are part of an overall automation approach, the entire industrial infrastructure might need to be modified.
This may involve the integration of a range of wires or wireless sensors, transducers, and actuators, laying miles of wires or establishing an M2M IoT connection, and procuring advanced operational software, with robust cybersecurity tools being an additional investment.
Moreover, employees used to traditional systems may be averse to the new changes, especially if jobs are at stake.
Additionally, global geopolitical conflicts, such as the Russia–Ukraine War, Israel’s frequent altercations with Hamas and Hezbollah, U.S. sanctions on Chinese firms, and the ever-volatile Indo–Pak situation, disrupt supply chains and limit the availability of components and the final products.
This increases the purchase price and forces companies to buy local products, which are less reliable and prone to breakdowns.
Pressure Transmitter Market Analysis
Insights by Type
Differential pressure transmitters hold the largest share, of 40%, of the overall global market in 2024. These pressure transmitters are preferred in the oil and gas industry for flow, level, and pressure measurement, which are critical for process monitoring and control. In addition, they are also used for measuring fluid density, fluid flow, and fluid level.
Furthermore, differential pressure transmitters can be based on any of the pressure sensing technologies, and they are used for level detection and flow measurement in the aforementioned industries using primary elements, such as orifice plates, venturi tubes, flow nozzles, low-loss flow tubes, and pitot tubes. Thus, in January 2021, Superior Sensor Technology announced improved differential pressure sensors for industrial applications that allow up to seven configurable pressure ranges in a single device.
The multivariable category is the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 4.6%. This is because just one of these devices can measure pressure, flow, and temperature, this eliminating the need for individual devices and reducing operating costs.
The following types of pressure transmitters are covered in this report:
Absolute
Gauge
Differential (Largest Category)
Multivariable (Fastest-Growing Category)
Insights by Fluid Type
The liquid fluid type is the highest revenue generator in the market in 2024. It will also witness the highest CAGR, over the forecast period. A submersible pressure transmitter is widely used for fluid pressure and level measurement in non-hydrocarbon liquids, such as in the water and wastewater treatment sector. Differential and gauge pressure transmitters are frequently used to monitor the hydrostatic (resting pressure) liquid levels in tanks and for groundwater pump water level assessment.
