Pressure Transmitter Market

Pressure Transmitter Market Research, 2031

The global pressure transmitter market was valued at $2.8 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $4.2 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 4.1% from 2022 to 2031.

A pressure transmitter is an instrument designed to measure the pressure of gases, liquids, air, or oils. It converts the mechanical pressure of a fluid or gas into an analog electrical signal. This is achieved by measuring changes in voltage that occur when the pressure on the pressure transmitter acts as a force on the diaphragm. The diaphragm expands or compresses based on the applied pressure, causing a change in the resistance value that is then transmitted as an electrical signal. Pressure transmitters are designed to detect changes in pressure and can alert users when attention is needed. This is how pressure transmitters help prevent accidents in industrial processes. They are widely used in industrial applications such as filtration plants, chemical feed, wastewater industries, food industries, and pumping stations to monitor and control pressure levels. Pressure transmitters are highly customizable by factors such as pressure range, accuracy, connection type, output, IP class, and even more due to their widespread demand.  

The pressure transmitter market is being propelled by the increased adoption of industrial automation by manufacturing industries worldwide, as it offers numerous benefits, such as improved product quality, increased productivity, reduced operational costs, and better health & safety during various processes. The inclination of both process and discrete industries toward incorporating automated systems and digital communication interfaces over traditional analog transmitters, which allow remote calibration & diagnostics and result in better plant efficiency, also drive the market growth.   

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mixed impact on the pressure transmitter market. On the one hand, the pandemic has caused disruptions in supply chains, leading to delays in the delivery of pressure transmitters and a decline in demand from industries such as manufacturing and process industries. On the other hand, the healthcare industry has experienced an increased demand for pressure transmitters for monitoring and controlling the pressure of fluids and gases in medical equipment such as ventilators and respirators. As the world recovers from the pandemic and industries resume their operations, the demand for pressure transmitters is expected to gradually recover, and the increasing demand in emerging economies is expected to drive growth in the market in the coming years.

The pressure transmitter market overview highlights that pressure transmitters are being increasingly utilized in consumer electronics to create a user-friendly interface and indoor navigation, and in the healthcare sector to transmit blood pressure information from catheters to patient monitoring systems. They are also found in hospitals to regulate the quality of steam produced by maintaining the pressure inside the sterilization chamber. Furthermore, the pressure transmitter market has benefitted from increased investment in the energy sector and technological advancements that help to minimize human errors. The growing demand for multivariable pressure transmitters is expected to extend profitable opportunities to market players during the forecast period.

On the other hand, one potential restraint for the pressure transmitter market is the high cost associated with implementing automated systems and digital communication interfaces. In addition, some industries may be hesitant to adopt new technologies and may instead rely on traditional analog transmitters. Another factor that could limit market growth is the availability of alternative technologies that can perform similar functions.

Similarly a pressure indicator transmitter, is a device that combines the features of a pressure transmitter and a pressure gauge. It not only measures pressure and converts it into an electrical signal, but it also provides a local display of the pressure measurement, similar to a pressure gauge. Pressure indicator transmitters are often used in applications where it is important to have both a local display and a remote signal for control purposes.

Top Impacting Factors

The pressure transmitter market is being driven by various factors, including surge in focus on industrial automation for optimal use of resources by eliminating human intervention, minimizing downtime & errors, improving process quality, and shortening response & processing times. In addition, the need for accurate and reliable pressure measurement in end-use industries is another key factor in the pressure transmitter market as in many industries, accurate pressure measurement is crucial for maintaining safety and quality standards. Despite these drivers, the need for maintenance and frequent software updates poses a significant barrier to the market. However, the rise in demand for multivariable pressure transmitters presents a promising growth opportunity for the pressure transmitter market as multivariable pressure transmitters have a significant impact on lowering the total cost of ownership while also contributing to an increase in plant safety, process efficiency, and productivity.
