International Organization of Motor Vehicles Manufacturers (OICA) has come up with statistics that 97.30 million cars and commercial vehicles were produced globally in 2017, which was 2.36% more than the previous year[1].  Now, this production of new vehicles requires test and measurement during the quality assurance stage, which is leading to a myriad of opportunities in test and measurement market which had a market size of $25 billion as of 2018. Furthermore, the analyst estimates the market to grow with a global CAGR of 4% during the forecast period of 2019-2025.

Industrialization is proliferating in Asian countries at a rapid pace now. China has emerged as one of the leading manufacturers of consumers’ electronics like mobile phones, tablet, laptops, and some others. Furthermore, manufacturing industries that require test and measurement are booming in India, Taiwan, Indonesia, and a few other countries in the APAC region are perpetually developing. This makes APAC bear the maximum regional test and measurement market share at 30-35% as of 2018.

Tests and measurements are executed in many industries by using various test equipment, and the healthcare sector uses medical equipment. This demand for test and measurement is also stroking the electronic original equipment market. Test and measurement equipment find applications in automotive, aerospace & defense, electronics & semiconductors, industrial, education, IT & telecommunication, and healthcare. Owing to the growth prospects and production escalation in the automotive sector, the application CAGR of test and measurement market in transportation and automobile will be 3.90% as estimated by IndustryARC’s analyst. This also attributes to the regular need for servicing and maintenance in commercial and personal vehicles. 

Diagnostics is a growing aspect of the healthcare sector. With 422 billion people suffering from a disease like diabetes that requires a diagnostic test, according to WHO[2],  the market for medical test and measurement is growing. Now, the world is also under threat due to the rare diseases in which the diagnosis is even more complicated. A lot of diagnostic tests are done to identify these diseases which are as much as 5000 to 8000 in number affecting 27 million to 36 million people. This is a major factor stroking the test and measurement market. 

There are 416,000 general aircraft flying worldwide today according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association[3]. There are 416,000 general aircraft flying worldwide today according to the General Aviation Manufacturers Association. These aircraft need regular testing and servicing which requires test and measurement equipment. Additionally, there is a tangible demand for aircraft and helicopters from the defense sector across the globe which is further flourishing the test and measurement market. 

The rapidly growing number of educational and research institutes are one of the major factors driving the test and measurement market because these institutes need test and measurement instruments and equipment in their laboratories. Furthermore, the electronics and semiconductors market is observing a massive growth which is bolstering the test and measurement market. The on-going and upcoming projects that conduct a lot of Non-destructive testing also strengthen the market. 

The groundbreaking growth in the technology and automation sector has led to advanced test and measurement equipment. However, the complexity of the devices and equipment require unprecedented knowledge by the end-users which is proving detrimental to the market’s global revenue. In this regard, manufacturers are striving to improve the product operability, thereby making the equipment easier to use. 

The industry leader in test and measurement market is National Instruments Corp. that observed record revenue of 1.29 billion which was 5% more than the previous year. Other key players in the market are Anritsu Corp., Keysight Technologies, Fortive Corp., Rohde & Schwarz GmbH & Co KG, Texas Instruments Inc., Yokogawa Electric Corp., and EXFO, Inc.
