The level measurement using the pressure transmitter is reliable, robust, and simple. It is also not influenced by vessel geometry and factors such as dust, foam, vapor, and contaminants.
North America accounted for the largest share of 34.4% of the global pressure transmitter market in 2017 due to huge growth in oil & gas activities over the past decade, especially in non-conventional front. This region is also expected to sustain its position as the top market in the coming years. Emerson Electric Company (Emerson) (US), ABB Ltd. (ABB) (Switzerland), Honeywell International Inc. (Honeywell) (US), and Endress+Hauser AG (Endress) (Switzerland) are some key suppliers of pressure transmitters in this region. The growth of the pressure transmitter market in North America is attributed to the huge installed base for publicly owned treatment works (POTW) and industrial wastewater treatment plants and recovery in oil & gas industry.
Growing population and urbanization have disrupted several consumption verticals in APAC. Growing market demand for electricity, growing exports of chemicals, and development of industrial and utility-grade wastewater treatment plants are expected to drive the growth of the pressure transmitter market in APAC, and the said market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.07% during the forecast period, while China held the largest market share in 2017.
Monitoring alnd maintaining process parameters at the suitable levels is extremely critical in industrial automation and process control. Industrial automation reduces operational cost, improves product quality, increases productivity, and also addresses industrial heath and safety across various process industries. Both discrete and process industries have increased their focus to bring in best practices to reduce wastage and increase plant efficiency. The way ahead for increasing efficiency and optimizing manufacturing processes lies in utilizing the factory floor data, such as real-time production data, to make better business and operational decisions. There is an increasing focus on incorporating systems and software that could make this job easier.
A pressure transmitter in the industrial environment is either continuously or periodically measuring vital parameters such as pressure, flow, and level. The output of the pressure transmitter is recorded by the distributed control system (DCS) or controller. These systems also acquire the information from other field instruments, and the information collected from all such devices further analyzes and helps improve process efficiency, reduce maintenance requirements, and enhance overall productivity. This ultimately helps a facility achieve significant reduction in operating cost and production downtime. The German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association (ZVEI) and the Measurement, Control & Automation Association (MCAA), which are the prominent bodies in the field of process automation, are very positive about the growth of the industrial automation market despite the slowdown in global economy. Increasing labor cost in developing countries further aids to process automation and hence offers a significant opportunity to the pressure transmitter market.
According to BP Statistical Review of World Energy 2018, the world crude oil production in 2017 was 92.65 million barrels per day, whereas the world crude oil consumption in 2017 was 98.19 million barrels per day. Also, the crude oil price fell from USD 109.5 per barrel in 2012 to USD 40.7 per barrel in 2016 and again rose to USD 52 per barrel in 2017. The increased consumption was particularly in APAC, especially in India and China. Also, demand from Middle East and Africa region grew by 100,000 barrels per day. This shows that demand for crude oil is steadily increasing, around the world, except for Latin Am There was sharp decline in commodity prices, and crude oil was also hit by it. The price for crude oil fell from USD 109.5 per barrel from 2011 to USD 40.7 per barrel in 2016. Meanwhile, the consumption or the demand for oil was steadily increasing. There was a little aggressive trend in oil production from 2013 to 2015, but oil prices fell rapidly. But later, the oil production steadily increased, but oil prices first fell and then recovered. The prices increased because the production has been not realized as per the demand caused by trimming production activities of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) countries.
Pressure transmitters are widely used across the oil & gas industry; thus, any event in the global petroleum market would affect the pressure transmitter market worldwide. Fluctuations in crude oil prices will definitely affect the pressure transmitter market as pressure transmitters are widely used held huge installed base in oil and gas industry to measure process parameters such as the pressure, level, and flow.
The multivariable pressure transmitter is a remarkable innovation in multi-sensing technology. Multivariable transmitters measure and calculate the mass flow as a function of temperature, absolute pressure, and differential pressure. Therefore, it is employed whenever differential pressure flow measurement needs a compensation of temperature and pressure. Its main benefit is to have just one device in the field instead of several transmitters and a mass flow calculator. The use of a single device instead of many reduces installation and maintenance costs and offers effective process acumen. Multivariable transmitters combine integrated sensors and microprocessor technologies, as well as dynamic flow compensation to produce the most accurate and consistent flow measurement possible. The transmitters help improves product yield, increase process efficiency, and enhance plant safety while significantly lowering the total cost of ownership. They are available in HART, Modbus, Fieldbus, and analog output version and used in a variety of industries. Thus, the bundled benefits provided by the multivariable pressure transmitters are expected to offer significant growth opportunity in the global pressure transmitter market.
Emerging economies are not able to sustain the momentum of high growth in present business environment; therefore, Greenfield projects are drying up in the market, and scope remains in brownfield retrofit and services-based projects. This is likely to affect the growth of the pressure transmitter market as new project commissioning across industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, energy, and water and wastewater treatment would offer significant opportunities in emerging economies. However, the low price of oil is expected to prop up economic growth in Asia and other regions around the globe, excluding the major oil exporting countries because the decline in oil prices has supported growth and confined inflation. The low oil price has lowered inflation globally and provided room for maintaining low interest rates to stimulate growth. Besides, decline in oil prices has provided an opportunity for governments to institute reform that would benefit their growth prospects over a long term. For example, it has opened up opportunities for countries that heavily subsidize their energy sectors to rationalize their expenditures to make them more productive.
Now, oil price has recovered and is trading in USD 7080 per barrel. This would again raise a concern for emerging economies, especially those highly dependent on crude import. However, it is favorable for upstream oil & gas companies. It can impact the commissioning of Greenfield projects in emerging markets as high crude price scenario do not bodes well with their economic agenda. Thus, this would impact industrial automation business and thus the pressure transmitter market.
