The expansion of industrial robots is expected to drive the growth of the instrument calibration services market going forward. Industrial robots are programmable mechanical devices used in manufacturing and industrial environments to automate tasks traditionally performed by humans. The use of industrial robots is increasing rapidly due to technological advancements, globalization, labor shortages, and the skills gap, as they automate repetitive tasks efficiently. Calibration services ensure the accuracy and safety of industrial robots, supporting reliable performance and compliance in manufacturing operations. For instance, in September 2024, according to the International Federation of Robotics, a Germany-based professional non-profit organization, the number of industrial robots in operation worldwide reached 4,664,000 units in 2024, representing a 9% increase from the previous year. Therefore, the expansion of industrial robots is driving the growth of the instrument calibration services market.

Major companies operating in the instrument calibration services market are focusing on developing phased array calibration solutions to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and automation in the calibration process. The phased array calibration solution is a cutting-edge system designed to facilitate the development of active electronically scanned arrays for satellite communications applications. For instance, in October 2023, Keysight Technologies, a US-based electronics company, launched a phased array antenna control and calibration solution for satellite communications. It features a user-friendly software interface that controls the antenna under test, a compact antenna test range positioner, and a temperature control unit. This innovative system significantly reduces the time required for calibrating complex phased array antennas from hours or days to just a few minutes in a lab setting, enhancing mission success for commercial and military satellite communications.

In November 2023, Aldinger Company Inc., a US-based provider of calibration and repair services, acquired Instrument Technologies for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables Aldinger Company to expand it’s calibration and repair services for test and measurement equipment and expertise in serving various industries, such as agriculture and aviation, and enhance its offerings in on-site calibration. Instrument Technologies is a US-based company that provides calibration services and training.
