CAPILLARY RHEOMETER MARKET OVERVIEW

The global capillary rheometer market size was USD 0.03 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 0.04 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Capillary rheometer was initially made for polymer melt processing. Since then the global capillary rheometer market share has expanded to many other material processes such as high-speed coating and printing application. It is derived from controlled extrusion of a test material. Capillary rheometer enables material flow and deformation properties to be characterized under conditions of high pressure, increased shear rate and elevated temperature.

The global capillary rheometer market share has seen a rise since the pandemic. This is owing to the various application that are being explored using the capillary rheometer. It has versatility to measure rheological properties under different conditions just with a change of its die geometry. There are also dual barrel instruments that can perform two simultaneous tests under different conditions.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Travel Restrictions caused Negative Impact on Production

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the capillary rheometer experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

COVID-19 had a life changing impact globally. The global capillary rheometer market was significantly affected. The virus had various impacts on different markets. Lockdowns were imposed in several nations. This erratic pandemic caused disruptions on all sorts of businesses. Restrictions tightened during the pandemic due to increasing number of cases. Numerous Industries were affected. However, the market for capillary rheometer experienced a major boost.

The global capillary rheometer market registered a significant drop for its demand in the year 2020. Industries such as manufacturing industry, transportation industry faced a half in their production unit. Since there were several restrictions imposed on transportation, this negatively impacted the rheometers production and sales. The disruption of capillary rheometer’s supply chain and logistics caused a drop in its demand due to lack of availability. But since the restrictions have been lightened, the capillary rheometer market is focused to grow.

LATEST TRENDS

Multipurpose Developments to Benefit Market Prospects

The global capillary rheometer market growth is anticipated to increase owing to developments in its multipurpose abilities. A conference paper uploaded on SpringerLink described a new general purpose research rheometer. It is designed to provide optimal performance in viscometry, oscillation and stress relaxation tests. This rheometer also enable the user to take combined tests such as relaxation after steady flow, oscillation after steady shearing.

In the current scenario, thermos-rheological measurements are used for processing technologies such as 3D printing. According to a research paper on omicsonline, rheological measurements are used for steady-shear flow curves ( apparent viscosity vs shear rate), oscillatory data (viscous and elastic moduli vs angular frequency), and many others. This technique is being developed to characterize materials and candidates for 3D printing.
