Level Transmitter Global Market Report 2024

The level transmitter market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $3.32 billion in 2023 to $3.43 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.3%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to various factors, including the expansion of industrial automation, growth in the process industry, increasing emphasis on safety and environmental concerns, the implementation of stringent regulations, globalization trends, the upgrading of aging infrastructure, and a focus on water and wastewater management.

The level transmitter market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.95 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to factors such as the increasing demand for wireless level transmitters, a focus on energy efficiency, advancements in oil and gas exploration, initiatives related to smart cities, and ongoing market consolidation. Key trends expected in the forecast period include the integration of data analytics and artificial intelligence, the incorporation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, the adoption of non-contact level measurement methods, the implementation of remote monitoring and control systems, integration with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems, and a trend towards customization and scalability in level transmitter technologies.

The growth of the level transmitter market is expected to be propelled by the increasing adoption of industrial automation. Industrial automation involves the use of control systems, such as computers or robots, and information technologies to handle various processes and machinery in an industry, aiming to achieve superior performance compared to manual control. Level transmitters play a crucial role in enabling automation in industrial settings. According to Eagle Technology Inc., a New Zealand-based company specializing in systems integration and information management, it is projected that the global industrial automation market will reach $297 billion by 2026. Additionally, automation is anticipated to impact job roles, with about 30% of jobs in approximately 60% of all occupations being automated. The adoption of industrial automation is thereby fueling the demand for the level transmitter market.

The level transmitter market is expected to experience growth due to an increase in water shortages. Water shortages occur when the demand for water surpasses the available supply, leading to insufficient access to clean and safe water. Level transmitters assist in monitoring and managing water levels in reservoirs, tanks, and distribution systems, contributing to optimized water usage and efficient water resource management. UNESCO, a France-based specialized agency promoting world peace, reported in March 2023 that globally, 2 billion individuals, or 26% of the global population, lack access to clean drinking water. Additionally, 3.6 billion people, accounting for 46% of the world's population, do not have access to adequately managed sanitation services. The number of urban residents facing water shortages is expected to double by 2050. Consequently, the increase in water shortages is propelling the growth of the level transmitter market.

Innovation emerges as a key trend in the level transmitter market, with major companies striving to develop innovative solutions to enhance their market positions. For instance, Hawk Measurement Systems (HAWK), an Australia-based company specializing in level, positioning, asset monitoring, and fiber optic sensing systems, launched CGR PoE in July 2022. This Guided Wave Radar Level Transmitter features Power over Ethernet communications and is recognized as the industry's first of its kind. The CGR PoE level transmitter connects to the HawkEye365 website, facilitating real-time monitoring of numerous tanks globally. Power over Ethernet connectivity provides secure in-plant and remote monitoring, as well as remote sensor setup, diagnostics, and troubleshooting capabilities.

Major companies in the level transmitter market are also embracing advanced technologies such as Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) technology to introduce sophisticated radar level transmitters with enhanced features to the industrial market. FMCW technology is a radar technique used for measuring the distance and properties of a target. For instance, AMETEK Magnetrol, a US-based manufacturer of instrumentation, launched the Pulsar Model R80 radar level transmitter in August 2022. This transmitter incorporates FMCW technology and operates at an 80 GHz frequency for superior performance, enhanced resolution, and improved accuracy. The Pulsar Model R80 features configuration wizards and proactive diagnostics, simplifying commissioning and troubleshooting. It is minimally affected by turbulence, foam, or excessive vapors, making it suitable for various applications. The transmitter is SIL 2 compliant and holds global hazardous location approvals.

In March 2021, AMETEK Inc., a US-based designer and manufacturer of electronic instruments and electromechanical devices, acquired Magnetrol International for an undisclosed amount. This strategic acquisition is expected to expand AMETEK's portfolio with innovative, advanced technology solutions. Magnetrol International is a US-based manufacturer and provider of level and flow measurement instrumentation.
