COVID-19 IMPACT

Handheld Resistance Meters Industry Had Negative Effect Due to supply chain disruption during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The growth of the Handheld Resistance Meters market was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in terms of both opportunities and challenges. On the positive side, as industries concentrated on keeping working during lock-downs, there was a huge mat demand for testing equipment. Business sectors required ways to confirm equipment was performing optimally especially if operations had to be centralised. This called for increased use of the Handheld Resistance Meters. On the negative side, disruption risk in the supply side, especially when the Covid-19 pandemic affected production and distribution channels, slowed down the growth on the market more often than not – temporarily.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions

Driving Factors

Increasing Use of Maintenance Tools in Electrical Industries

As there are increased electrical structures and devices, companies are increasingly focusing on maintaining reliability and safety. The Portable Resistance Meters are very useful in recognising problems that may be existing in circuits and electrical systems so that necessary corrections can be made. As organisations delegate more of their efforts to maintaining continuity of production and maximal availability, such types of testing devices are in popular demand. In addition, the functionality of these meters allows for very specifics measurement, including in difficult conditions, where they are used as an indispensable instrument by maintenance specialists globally.

Technological Innovations in product Enhanced Design and Functioning

Handheld resistance meters have been made more portable and easier to use in recent years by new features like digital displays, wireless connectivity or data logging. By so doing, users are now able to monitor the levels of resistance in real terms and all through from very convenient remote locations, as this in one way boosts general operations efficiency. Moreover, these devices have extended their durability to be capable of working in the highly competitive industrial setting. This trend is particularly helpful for industries where it is mandatory to often check and service massive plants or equipment.

Restraining Factor

Thus, another possible barrier to good uptake of advanced devices may be attributed to the high initial costs of production.

Despite the developments in the functionality of quantities measured by Handheld Resistance Meters, it is still expensive to purchase the advanced devices. This is often a challenge especially to small industries or businesses with low capital returns thus the limited use of the new models. Also, the expenses incurred in routine calibration and maintenance may make it almost impossible for small companies to afford these gadgets.

Opportunity

Rising Industrialization Expanding the Market for Portable Resistance Meter

In view of the constant globalization of industrialization especially in the emerging economies there is need for better maintenance and testing tools. This explains why the Handheld Resistance Meters market is on the rise as many industries look to maintain optimum outputs and equipment durability. These meters are used to help to detect electrical problems before they lead to a shutdown, and hence they are very important in minimizing downtime. Thus, as more industries pay particular emphasis to increase production, the Handheld Resistance Meters market is expected to grow tremendously.

Challenge

The cost of adoption is high especially at the first time causing slow adoption in small enterprises

Technological developments have improved precision and applicability of Handheld Resistance Meters but they have high first costs making them a problem for small businesses. SMEs may face a problem of financing these sophisticated devices, which acts as a barrier to the growth of this market in this segment. Also, the calibration and maintenance requirements also lead to higher TCO and therefore contribute to the reluctance of smaller companies to embrace these technologies.
