The anticipated growth in the demand for energy generation is set to drive the expansion of the torque tester market. Energy generation involves the conversion of various forms of energy into electrical energy, primarily achieved through electricity-only plants and combined heat and power plants. Torque testers play a crucial role in energy generation by ensuring the correct torque tightness of bolts and nuts holding critical components together. For example, as reported by the Energy Information Administration, the net generation of electricity from utility-scale generators in the US reached approximately 4.24 trillion kilowatt hours (kWh) in 2022, with 60% of utility-scale electricity generation stemming from fossil fuels. Additionally, Exxon Mobil Corporation forecasts that global energy demand will reach 660 quadrillion Btu in 2050, reflecting a 15% increase from 2021. This surge in energy demand propels the growth of the torque tester market.

The rising demand from the automotive industry is anticipated to drive the growth of the torque tester market in the coming years. The automotive industry is a broad sector that includes numerous firms and organizations involved in the development, advancement, production, marketing, sales, maintenance, and customization of motor vehicles. Many automotive manufacturers utilize in-vehicle torque detectors to measure engine torque and calibrate automatic transmissions. For example, in May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), an organization based in Italy that represents major European motor vehicle manufacturers, reported that global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, reflecting a 5.7% increase compared to 2021's production figures. Thus, the increasing demand from the automotive industry is propelling the torque tester market.

Key players in the torque tester market are concentrating on the development of innovative products, such as preset torque screwdrivers, to offer reliable services to their customers. Preset torque screwdrivers are equipped with preset torque values to ensure the correct application of torque to fasteners. For example, Sturtevant Richmont introduced the BP-Series Torque Drivers in April 2022. These torque drivers feature anti-backlash technology to reduce negative torque and offer smooth rotation, requiring only 18 degrees of turn to achieve the target torque. The bi-directional versatility and ergonomic grip make it user-friendly, preventing over-torquing of fasteners.

In November 2023, TOYO Corporation, a leading provider of advanced measurement solutions based in Japan, acquired Rototest International AB for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition supports TOYO's strategy to improve its capabilities in automotive testing technology. Rototest, based in Sweden, specializes in developing hub-coupled powertrain dynamometers, which are crucial for measuring mechanical parameters like power, torque, and speed at the drive wheels of vehicles.
