A flow meter is a device used to measure the linear, nonlinear, volumetric or mass flow rate of liquid, gas or vapour. Depending upon their usage, these meters are also called flow indicators, flow gauges and liquid meters. The major applications of flow meters include measuring household utility consumption, flare management in refineries and measuring the flow of oil, water, fuel, chemicals, paint, etc. across different industrial sectors. According to the latest study by IMARC Group, titled “Flow Meter Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, the global flow meter market reached a value of US$ 6 Billion in 2017.
The demand for flow meters has been primarily influenced by developments in major end-use industries. Over the last few years, several mining and oil refining facilities have witnessed an expansion worldwide, driven by enhanced demand for minerals and petrochemicals. Another major factor facilitating the market growth is the introduction of new flow meter technologies. Digital meters with improved accuracy and response rate along with self-diagnostic features and latest communication protocols have been replacing conventional flow meters, boosting the market growth. Owing to these factors, the market is further expected to reach a value of US$ 9 Billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2018-2023.
