Market outlook of the global liquid analytical instrument market
Technavio’s research analyst predicts the global liquid analytical instrument market to grow steadily at a CAGR of about 6% during the forecast period. There has been a growing need to measure parameters, such as the amount of dissolved oxygen, conductivity and resistivity, turbidity, and pH/ORP of a liquid that is applicable in almost all process industries such as water and wastewater, oil and gas, chemical, power, biotechnology, and pharmaceuticals. This need has created a high demand for these liquid analytical instruments leading to the growth of the market.
There is a growing demand for real-time data monitoring in several end-user industries such as the water treatment industry to improve the overall process efficiency. Several oil companies are trying to convert their existing fields into smart fields, which require the use of instruments to analyze the process and monitor the content of substance. The increased conversion of oil and gas fields to the digital form will be a growth driver for various liquid analytical instruments.
