Level Gauge Market Report 2026

The level gauge market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.65 billion in 2025 to $1.74 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to growth of oil and gas storage infrastructure, expansion of chemical processing plants, demand for industrial safety monitoring, development of tank farm facilities, increase in water management projects.

The level gauge market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.18 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to automation of industrial processes, expansion of smart factories, rising demand for real time monitoring, growth in chemical and pharmaceutical production, investment in infrastructure modernization. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of radar level measurement, expansion of non contact level sensing solutions, increasing use in automated process industries, rising demand for high accuracy tank monitoring, integration with digital process control systems.

The expansion of the oil and gas industries is expected to drive the growth of the level gauge market in the coming years. Oil and natural gas are major segments of the energy sector, where drilling, storage, and transportation systems involve the separation, storage, and processing of oil, natural gas, and associated slurries across various production equipment and tanks. Accurate level measurement and control are essential to maintain normal operations and ensure equipment safety. Oil level measurement is critical for accurately calculating storage volumes, managing inventories, and determining transportation quantities, and these requirements have increased alongside the growth of the oil and gas sector. For example, in April 2025, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), a U.S.-based government agency, reported that U.S. crude oil production increased by 270,000 barrels per day in 2024 to average 13.2 million barrels per day. Consequently, the growth of the oil and gas industries is fueling demand for the level gauge market.

Leading companies in the level gauge market are introducing innovative products, including liquid level sensors, to gain a competitive advantage. Liquid level sensors, designed to measure the level of liquids in containers or tanks, offer advanced features. For instance, in September 2023, Rochester Sensors, a US-based company specializing in level measurement solutions, launched TLL155/TLL156/TLL157 liquid level sensors with variable resistive, voltage, or current outputs. These sensors feature a 316 stainless steel probe in standard lengths of 500mm or 1000mm, allowing custom length cutting and magnetic calibration for specific levels. They operate in a wide temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), withstand up to 1 BAR pressure, survive a 1-meter drop onto concrete, and operate on 9-36 VDC power with 80 VDC overvoltage protection.

In May 2023, Rochester Sensors LLC, a US-based manufacturer of gauges and sensors, acquired Tekelek Europe Limited for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition aligns with Rochester's commitment to investing in research and development, allowing the company to introduce new and improved products to meet evolving customer needs. Tekelek Europe Limited, based in Ireland, designs and sells liquid-level sensors and other electronic components, primarily utilizing ultrasound and hall effect sensor technologies.
