The global viscometer market is poised to grow significantly, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%, reaching a valuation of USD 587.3 million by 2031. This growth is driven by increasing applications of viscometers across diverse industries including pharmaceuticals, petroleum, and cosmetics. As these sectors demand precise viscosity measurements to ensure product quality and efficiency, the market for viscometers is expected to expand robustly over the forecast period.
Controlling and monitoring the process parameters of products prior to and post-production have become an integral process across petrochemicals, polymers & rubber, pharmaceutical, and chemicals industries. Increasing concerns regarding uniformity in the consistency of finished products such as paints and other liquids are compelling aforementioned industries to adopt new measuring equipment such as viscometer, which is in turn, driving the market.
Viscometers are increasingly gaining popularity due to their favorable characteristics, such as convenience, adaptability, and ease of use, for various end-to-end applications. In addition to this, rising demand from testing, research, and certification agencies is expected to propel the demand for viscometers. Driven by this, the sales of viscometer is projected to spur at a CAGR of 6.4% in 2021.
As per FMI, rotational viscometers is estimated to emerge as the dominant segment, accounting for around 30% of the revenue share in the global market. The growth of the segment is attributed to the increasing adoption of these viscometers at production areas, workshop areas, and delivery areas as it helps to optimize the control time and flexibility.
“Key manufacturers are emphasizing on developing novel products with innovative features such as memorization, data tracing, and programming to make them more user-friendly. A slew of such advancements is expected to augment the sales in the coming years,” says the FMI analyst.
