Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the test and measurement market in Singapore will grow steadily at a CAGR of almost 5% by 2020. This market research analysis identifies the growth of telecommunication infrastructure and adoption of new network technologies as one of the primary growth factors for this market. The country is a frontrunner in the telecommunication sector on a global scale and owing to the high competition in market, the local telecommunication infrastructure is expanding rapidly. Fixed-line networks in the region are among the highest in the world and the rising number of smartphone users and mobile internet subscribers drive the growth of the mobile market as well. Also, the government initiatives and support from the country's telecom service providers also have a positive impact on the growth of the local telecommunication sector. With the telecommunication industry employing test and measuring instruments at several stages, the estimated growth of the industry will increase the demand for this market.
The growth of the test and measurement market will also attribute to the development of data centers in the country in the next four years. The data center sector in Singapore is characterized by the presence of both telecom companies and data center specialists. For instance, Google has already started its second data center in the country and LinkedIn recently opened its first data center outside of the US in Singapore. Precision measuring tools are used in data centers to ensure adequate capacity, performance, and reliability.
The market is characterized by the presence of a number of vendors and is dominated by vendors offering advanced T&M solutions for telecommunication, electronic manufacturing, and general manufacturing sectors. Measurement and testing equipment manufacturers mainly depend on product differentiation and competitive pricing to gain a competitive edge over their competitors. Moreover, to introduce innovative products in the market, top vendors constantly invest heavily in their R&D sectors and smaller vendors find it difficult to spend huge amounts on R&D. This results in these smaller players either exiting the market or being acquired by well-established vendors.
