SEGMENTATION INSIGHTS
INSIGHTS BY RAW MATERIALS
The global measuring and layout tools market by raw materials segments such as metal, plastic, etc. The metal segment held a dominant share in 2022 and witnessed the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The measuring tools are used in construction areas, manufacturing units, furniture warehouses, and automotive and aerospace industries, among many others. Due to their nature of use, these tools have to be rough and tough and should be able to be used for lengthy periods. Any damage to these products can sometimes lead to incorrect reading and can cause miss calculations that can be harmful in situations such as the construction of buildings, railroads, and roads, among many others. Also, these tools must be able to resist temperatures and climatic conditions. Such reasons have supported the growth of the metal segment, as metals are known to be tough and long-lasting and can be used across the toughest terrains.
Segmentation by Raw Materials
- Metal
- Plastic
- Others
INSIGHTS BY PRODUCT TYPE
The calipers and micrometers product type segment held the largest global measuring and layout tools market share. Calipers and micrometers take linear measurements such as length, width, thickness, depth, and diameter, among many others. With advancing technology, the requirement for efficient tools has been increasing. Machinists and other precision applications use special tools to ensure their work has the highest precision and efficiency. Micrometers and calipers are probably some of the most important measuring tools used in machining and engineers across various fields such as construction, automotive, aerospace, and architecture, among many others. These tools measure the thickness, diameter, length, and width of various objects, such as rods, bars, and pillars, among many others. Hence, such factors positively impact the growth of the calipers and micrometers measuring and layout tools in the global measuring and layout tools market during the forecasted period.
Segmentation by Product Type
- Calipers & Micrometer
- Rulers & Gauges
- Squares & Protractors
- Others
INSIGHTS BY AUTOMATION TYPE
The global measuring and layout tools market by automation type segments as manual and automatic. The manual segment held the largest industry share in 2022. Most measuring and layout tools have the functionality of being manual for a long time. Manual tools provide more flexibility and are quite simple to use. Though some tools might require learning time, they are not very complicated after that. Tools such as rulers, measuring tapes, calipers, micrometers, and gauges can be easily transportable, making them more adaptable as autonomous tools could be hard to transport everywhere; however, with the current world moving towards digitalization and automation. Measuring and layout tools have been making a transition towards automation. The established vendors tend to invest more in developing innovative products to gain a competitive edge.
Segmentation by Automation Type
- Manual
- Automatic
INSIGHTS BY DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL
The offline distribution channel dominated the global measuring and layout tools market 2022. Factors such as the broader reach in areas that lack better connectivity and high consumer trust associated with touching and experiencing the quality of products are driving the growth of this segment. Furthermore, although the online channel holds a relatively lower share in the measuring and layout tools market, it is expected to grow faster than offline distribution channels. The proliferation of e-commerce and the rising awareness among people regarding the benefits of online shopping, such as heavy discounts, sessional offers, and availability of numerous options, is driving the growth of the online industry share during the forecasted period.
Segmentation by Distribution Channel
- Offline
- Online
INSIGHTS BY END-USERS
The construction industry has seen growth in projects such as hotels, amusement parks, private & government offices, and sports & convention centers. Hence, such factors will propel the growth of the measuring and layout tools market as such places would have to be maintained and require consistent changes to the aesthetics of buildings according to the seasons and festivities. Measuring and layout tools would ensure no miscalculation when carrying out maintenance tasks such as scraping, digging, and adding new structures, among many others.
