Oil and Gas Measuring Instrumentation Market Report 2025

This report covers market characteristics, size and growth, segmentation, regional and country breakdowns, competitive landscape, market shares, trends and strategies for this market. It traces the market’s historic and forecast market growth by geography.

The oil and gas measuring instrumentation market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $21.87 billion in 2024 to $23.09 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing demand of oil and gas, increasing demand for petroleum products, various regulations on the environment, increasing exploration and extraction of shale gas, upgradation of aged oil platforms.

The oil and gas measuring instrumentation market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $27.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rapid industrialization, increasing offshore and deepwater activities, growing focus on reducing maintenance costs, increasing demand for portable gas measuring instruments, increasing oil production. Major trends in the forecast period include advancements in exploration and production techniques, advancements in artificial intelligence (ai) and machine learning (ml), advancements in drilling technologies, advanced analytics, integration of wireless and remote monitoring technologies.

The oil and gas measuring instrumentation market is expected to experience growth due to the increasing oil and gas exploration activities. Oil and gas exploration involves identifying potential drilling sites using methods such as seismic and magnetometric prospecting to discover new oil and gas reserves. Measuring instruments play a crucial role in these activities by providing accurate data on reservoir characteristics, which helps optimize extraction processes. For example, in February 2024, World Oil reported that U.S. crude production hit a record 12.93 million barrels per day in 2023, marking an 8.8% rise from 2022. This growth was largely driven by the completion of a backlog of drilled but uncompleted wells (DUCs) in key shale regions. As a result, the growing oil and gas exploration activities are fueling the demand for oil and gas measuring instruments.

Leading companies in the oil and gas measuring instrumentation market are introducing innovative instruments, such as methane point instruments, to expand their product offerings and enhance market competitiveness. The methane point instrument is a self-installed methane monitoring system specifically designed for the oil and gas sector, equipped with IoT sensors for precise detection and quantification of emissions. For example, Schlumberger NV, an oilfield services company based in the US, launched the methane point instrument in October 2023. This instrument boasts unparalleled leak detection sensitivity, compactness, robustness, and 'plug-and-play' functionality, complemented by features such as a built-in solar panel, wind measurement capabilities, and methane sensing. It offers easy deployment across various infrastructures at minimal cost and supports reporting requirements such as those of the oil and gas methane partnership 2 (OGMP) and proposed US EPA rules for methane.

In November 2023, Process Sensing Technologies Ltd., a manufacturer of monitoring instruments based in England, acquired Fluid Components LLC, an instrumentation company based in the US, including measuring instruments used in the oil and gas industry. Through this acquisition, Process Sensing Technologies aims to diversify its product portfolio and enhance measurement capabilities, particularly in flow measurement, by leveraging Fluid Components International's renowned performance, quality, and customer service.
