Strain Gauges Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The global strain gauges market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.19% between 2025 and 2030.

A strain gauge is a sensor with a resistance that changes with force. It is in high demand because it is used mainly in printing, mining, and oil and gas industries. Strain gauge sensors are used to test up to one-ton objects. This gauge is employed to measure the sensing element to expand or contract in agreement with the measuring object. Usually, the main element of the strain gauge sensor is copper-nickel alloy foil. Many methods of measuring strains include mechanical, electrical, and optical.

Market Trends:

• The growing demand for mechanical strain gauge sensors is expected to fuel global market growth. These sensors have dominated the market due to their superior advantages over other types. Their resistance to temperature and time variations makes them highly suitable for measuring strain in concrete structures, specimens, and other structural elements in remote or extreme environments. Electrical strain gauges offer additional benefits, such as minimal deformation, as their charge effect stems from changes in atomic structure. This enables the design of rigid structures with high natural frequencies, making them ideal for capturing fast or high-frequency measurement events. They can also be attached to components of any shape that are in motion.
• The semiconductor industry's widespread use of strain gauges is likely to have a positive impact on the market. Strain gauges outperform traditional foil gauges in precision measurements, making them highly suitable for industries like semiconductors. Their reliability in harsh conditions makes them an attractive choice for manufacturers focused on stress analysis and performance monitoring. Additionally, advancements in semiconductor technology have enhanced their reliability and compactness, allowing for integration into smaller electronic systems. The rise in automation and advanced monitoring systems has further solidified the dominance of semiconductor strain gauges.
• Europe is experiencing significant growth during the forecast period. The region is expected to capture a substantial market share, driven by the presence of leading global manufacturers. The performance of Europe's automobile industry underscores its market leadership. As major automakers strive to exceed quality standards, strain gauge load cells are increasingly being used for vehicle testing and qualification. This trend is particularly relevant as electric vehicles gain traction in the European Union and self-driving cars emerge as the future of the transportation and automotive sectors.
