Test and Measurement Equipment Market Dynamics
Driver: Increased need for interoperability testing owing to growing deployment of IoT and connected devices
The rising adoption of connected technologies to increase production and improve manufacturing efficiency and the growing need to assess and test the Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled products to ensure data and product security boost testing, inspection, and certification market growth. Although manufacturers can increase their profit margins by deploying IoT and connected devices, they present many challenges and risks to manufacturers and developers. As data breaches continue to grab headlines, manufacturers are focused on safeguarding connected devices and user data. With rapid technological advances, the industry has responded to cybersecurity concerns by following necessary standards and regulations such as ANSI/UL 2900, IEC 62443, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework. Despite the pandemic, the market for connected devices continues to grow. In 2020, for the first time, the market witnessed the increased deployment of connected IoT devices (e.g., connected cars, smart home devices, and connected industrial equipment) than non-IoT devices (smartphones, laptops, and computers). Personal IoT devices, including fitness wearables, have become pervasive in the last two years and are likely to be increasingly adopted by the remaining population in the coming years. Smart devices facilitate data exchange. Testing is instrumental in ensuring that these devices remain connected securely and perform efficiently. In a connected world, global companies need to organize their quality assurance and testing functions using a combination of centralized and decentralized approaches. A testing team is vital for complex integrations and transformations in product development processes.
Restraint: Strong inclination of customers toward adoption of test and measurement equipment on rental basis
Technological advancements boost the demand for test and measurement equipment in end-user industries. This ratio is increasing because the adoption of test and measurement equipment on rental basis is more profitable to the customers whereas it is a restraint to the producing firms. Mostly companies with less capital go for rented test and measurement equipment. The unavailability of our own equipment, facing challenges towards repair, calibration, and unexpected peak in testing workload are the main reasons for the customers renting the equipment. However, new test and measurement equipment are typically expensive. To reduce their operational costs, several organizations across industries, including aerospace & defense, communications, automotive, and electronics, often take testing and measurement equipment on a rental basis, which is a cost-saving approach rather than buying new testing and measurement equipment.
Opportunity: Growing adoption of breakthrough technologies by consumers worldwide
Technological advancements are rapidly reshaping various industries, including healthcare, at an unprecedented pace. Notably, significant progress is witnessed in the healthcare sector. The utilization of wearable devices like smartwatches enables the collection of data, enabling the prediction and proactive treatment of health conditions in individuals, even before symptoms manifest. This approach, known as precision medicine, empowers physicians to prescribe medications and administer treatments with greater accuracy and specificity to their patients. This has been possible because of the innovations in the fields of genomics and AI; such technological advances help understand how diverse people’s bodies are healthier or inferior to fight against specific ailments, as well as how they are likely to react to different types of medications or treatments.
Similarly, electric vehicles (EVs) are one of the leading technologies worldwide. (EV testing goes way beyond homologation testing for vehicles and their components. It also covers the charging interfaces and associated systems that enable EVs, charging stations, and back-office systems to communicate with one another, known as interoperability or conformance testing. With the increase in the adoption of EVs worldwide, the demand for battery performance and safety testing, electric motor testing, vehicle performance testing, charger testing and certification, etc., is likely to rise significantly.
Challenge: Calibration, irregularity, and complexity issues in antenna arrays
Currently technological environment antennas play a wide role. The reliability and quality of antenna performance is essential for innovative embedding antennas. The success of production quality and time control relies on fast and accurate antenna measurements.
The growing acceptance of multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) in 5G New Radio (NR) technology is anticipated to drive the expanded usage of test and measurement equipment for evaluating the performance of radiation patterns in the device under test (DUT). In this context, antenna arrays are employed to achieve high antenna gain through beamforming, which compensates for the free space path loss inherent in high-frequency 5G systems. Beamforming involves the utilization of multiple antenna components in antenna arrays to achieve directional characteristics, aiding in the reduction of energy consumption in electronic devices.
