The global test and measurement equipment market size is anticipated to reach USD 43.95 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market growth is driven by the growing complexity of electronic devices and systems across industries such as automotive, telecommunications, and aerospace. The emergence of advanced technologies like 5G, IoT, and AI increases the need for precise testing to ensure optimal performance, reliability, and regulatory compliance.
Market opportunities in the market for test and measurement equipment are expanding rapidly. Rapid expansion of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Autonomous Technologies, including ADAS, is driving a heightened demand for advanced test and measurement equipment. These systems depend on intricate power electronics, precision sensors, and reliable communication networks, all requiring thorough testing to ensure safety, performance, and compliance.
Regulatory pressures play a crucial role in shaping the test and measurement equipment industry by mandating strict quality, safety, and performance standards across various industries. Adhering to international frameworks like ISO and IEC, along with regional guidelines, ensures product reliability but also adds to development costs and complexity. While they promote innovation and higher equipment standards, regulations can delay time-to-market and pose challenges for smaller companies due to ongoing certification demands.
Top market players, such as Keysight Technologies and Fortive Corporation, are focusing on various strategic initiatives to stay competitive and broaden their market presence. Significant investments in R&D are being made to create innovative, high-precision, and multifunctional testing solutions tailored for emerging technologies like 5G, IoT, and electric vehicles. Collaborations, mergers, and acquisitions are also helping expand product portfolios and global reach. Additionally, many are driving digital transformation by integrating AI and cloud-based analytics into their offerings.
