The global level transmitter market is estimated to reach USD 2.87 Billion by 2020. The need for accurate and reliable continuous level measurement is a vital factor driving the global level transmitter market. Growing demand for wireless connectivity in level instrumentation is also one of the driving factors for the global level transmitter market. Wireless level transmitters offer visibility in a broad range of offshore applications. They provide quick output, and are easy to install. Thus, the demand for level transmitters, owing to increased need for accurate level measurement is expected to fuel the growth of the global level transmitter market during the forecast period.

The water & wastewater industry segment of the global level transmitter market is estimated to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Level transmitters provide non-contact level measurement and pump control for water & wastewater industries. A level transmitter is capable of measuring levels in both clean as well as harsh environments and offers cost-effective solutions for water projects. Among industries, the oil & gas industry accounted for the largest share in the global level transmitter market in 2014, followed by the chemical industry. Safety and reliable level measurement is the most critical concern in the oil & gas industry. Moreover, oil obtained from a well contains solid materials in the form of sand, which need to be removed prior to further processing of oil.

The differential pressure level transmitter segment is expected to account for the largest share in the global level transmitter market during forecast period. Differential pressure level transmitters offer reliable level measurement and are unaffected by many physical characteristics, such as conductivity, dielectric coefficient, and viscosity. These transmitters have direct contact with the medium. Differential pressure transmitters are used in majority of industries, such as chemical, petrochemicals, refining, and electric power generation. The radar level transmitter segment of the global level transmitter market is expected to grow at a high CAGR during the forecast period. Radar level transmitters have several advantages over other level transmitters as their accuracy is independent of dielectric constant, density, and conductivity. These transmitters are easy to install and are unaffected by contaminants.

The North American region accounted for the largest share in the global level transmitter market in 2014. The Asia-Pacific level transmitter market is expected to grow at a high CAGR between 2015 and 2020. Increasing industrialization and urbanization in the Asia-Pacific region, along with huge investments being made in various industries, such as pharmaceuticals, oil & gas extraction, and wastewater treatment are the key factors driving the global level transmitter market.

One of the key restraining factors for the global level transmitter market is the shortage of skilled workers, resulting in high wages of workers. The tools and technologies used in the industries require trained workers for handling latest tools and software systems. To cope up with this, the existing workers need to be trained with new systems. This could create a skill gap between the existing workers and the already trained workers. Even though, the manufacturers are dynamic towards adopting new technologies, but they are facing a shortage of highly skilled workforce and proficient workers.
