Asia Pacific Level Gauge Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Regional Analysis By Gauge Type, Technology, and End-User

The Asia Pacific level gauge market is expected to grow from US$ 569.60 million in 2021 to US$ 861.06 million by 2028; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 6.2% from 2021 to 2028.

The oil & gas industry is one of the key end-users of level gauges. The widespread usage of level gauges for monitoring storage units and downstream processing plants has continued the demand for these instruments in the industry. With the rise in crude oil production in a few countries, such as China, the level gauge market is growing rapidly. Moreover, the International Energy Agency reports that Asia Pacific is the largest importer and consumer of natural gas. China was responsible for two-thirds of global natural gas demand in 2021. Moreover, transportation is vulnerable to leaks as a high-pressure pipeline does not serve across the region. Hence, regular monitoring is required throughout the shipment. As per British Petroleum's 2018 Statistical Review of World Energy, Asia Pacific houses over 33% of the global refining capacity. China, India, Japan, and South Korea have the most active oil and downstream gas sectors in Asia Pacific, accounting for over 78% of the region's oil refining capacity. This leads to a potential possibility of the development of a new end-user. Further, the demand for measurement equipment from the midstream & downstream industries is likely to rise. Fluid sensing is critical in the oil & gas industry. Water, chemical fluids, and oils are essential throughout a well's lifecycle, along with the increased use of drilling techniques such as hydraulic fracturing. The need for monitoring a wide range of chemicals and processing flow back that created wastewater has increased due to new procedures and regulations. The above-mentioned factors are augmenting the demand for level gauges in the oil & gas industry.

With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Asia Pacific level gauge market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
