Overview of the test and measurement market (T&M) in Malaysia
Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the test and measurement (T&M) market in Malaysia will grow steadily during the predicted period and will post a moderate CAGR of more than 6% by 2020. Due to the rapid expansion of high-speed broadband (HSBB) service and the exponential increase in the number of subscribers, the recent years witnessed a rapid growth of the telecom sector in the country. The market research analysis identifies this growth of the telecommunication sector as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The global shift toward wireless broadband and mobile networks, the growing demand for mobile devices such as smart phones and tablet computers, and the intense competition among vendors demand the requirement of advanced network and wireless test equipment, in turn, augmenting the growth of the test equipment and measuring devices market in the next four years.
Data centers are constantly in the need for T&M equipment such as electrical energy loggers, infrared imaging systems, cable testing for both copper and fiber installations, return loss testers or more sophisticated optical time-domain reflectometers. The increasing requirement of data centers around the world and the growth of this region as one of the major data outsourcing destinations will have a huge impact on the market’s growth.
