Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2022 as the base year and 2023 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market. Although there has been a decrease in demand for the market during the COVID-19 pandemic, a holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Market Driver
The benefits associated with flow meters are a key factor driving the global flow meter market growth. The growth of the global market is atributted to the use of flow meters in different end-user industries due the benefits. Flow meters are used for educational purposes in university science and engineering programs. They are also used in housing projects to track the amount of water used. Engineers have created liquid flow meters that can withstand extreme variables such as changing outdoor temperature and pressure regardless of weather conditions and provide accurate results.
The use of flow meters provides benefits besides measurements, such as in helping to control the velocity of fluids and their use. It can also save water from being wasted by detecting leakages in pipes. Thus, the benefits associated with flow meters will boost the global flow meter market during the forecast period.
Key Market Trend
The advent of integrated DP flow meter solution will fuel the global flow meter market growth. With ongoing technological advances in the global flow meter market, the advent of integrated DP flow meter solutions by Emerson Electric is considered one of the recent advances. It is a combination of existing advances and patented technologies to deliver benefits such as streamlined installation, reduced downtime, and elimination of required straight-run piping for end-users with hydrocarbon and other harsh environment applications.
In addition, it eliminates the common DP flow meter requirement for up to 44 pipe diameters of straight run upstream and six diameters downstream of the meter. Therefore, installation is simplified, and the cost is reduced. The adoption of the solution is expected to increase during the forecast period due to its unique functions and benefits contributing to the growth of the global flow meter market.
Key Market Challenge
The fluctuations in the prices of crude oil are the major challenge to the global flow meter market growth. Flow meters play an important role in the oil and gas industry. They are used in refineries and gas processing plants. Flow meters such as coriolis, ultrasonic, vortex, and turbine meters measure both gas and liquid flow in in-plant measurement. In addition, flow meters are also used in blending operations for liquid hydrocarbons.The oil and gas industry, which is closely associated with the upstream industry, was directly affected by the turn of events. The downturn in oil prices had a significant effect on vendors that offer flow meters to the upstream and midstream phases of the oil and gas industry.
Many large E and P projects were canceled or postponed, especially subsea projects. The rapid fall in crude oil prices triggered a massive withdrawal of investments, with the upstream sector bearing the major brunt. The profitability of companies fell drastically, with many registering significant losses. This has been a major challenge for the industry as fluctuations in the demand and supply of oil and gas can either increase or decrease the price, affecting the industry and its associated markets.

Europe is projected to account for 29% of the global market share growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
Europe is the fastest-growing region in the global flow meter market when compared with other regions. In Europe, Russia, Germany, Italy, France, and the UK, which are heavily industrialized, will be the major contributing countries. Several other European countries, such as Austria, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, are industrial, oil and gas, and chemical manufacturing hubs that create a considerable demand for flow meters. The International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that Europe's liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports will increase by over 60 billion cubic meters (BCM) by the end of 2022. This trend will necessitate the installation and availability of adequate transportation facilities for natural gas to cater to the increasing demand in the region and, in turn, fuel the demand for flow meters in the oil and gas industry in Europe during the forecast period.
This report forecasts the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the market. In addition, we have included the COVID-19 impact and the recovery strategies for each segment. The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 negatively impacted the economy of Europe. The pandemic claimed many lives in countries such as Italy, Spain, and the UK. As a result of the outbreak, lockdowns were implemented, which resulted in the shutdown of end-user industries. This had a negative impact on the regional market. However, by 2021, factories, warehouses, and other facilities of regional flow meter vendors reopened due to the large-scale vaccination drives conducted across the region. As a result, vendors were able to meet the increased demand from end-user industries. Furthermore, due to the support of governments of European countries and increased investments, many industries, such as chemicals and oil and gas, will witness positive growth, which is expected to increase the demand for flow meter solutions. Hence, the regional flow meter market is expected to register a positive growth rate during the forecast period.
