RING GAUGE AND PLUG GAUGE MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global ring gauge and plug gauge market size was estimated at USD 0.29 billion in 2024, set to expand to USD 0.46 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.31% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2033.

A ring gauge and plug gauge are two types of precision measuring instruments used to measure the internal and external diameters of cylindrical parts. A ring gauge is a cylindrical ring with a precisely machined hole. It is used to measure the internal diameter of a cylindrical part. The ring gauge is inserted into the part and the fit is checked. If the ring gauge fits snugly, then the internal diameter of the part is within tolerance.

A plug gauge is a cylindrical plug with a precisely machined outside diameter. It is used to measure the external diameter of a cylindrical part. The plug gauge is placed over the part and the fit is checked. If the plug gauge fits snugly, then the external diameter of the part is within tolerance.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Increased the Market Demand

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the ring gauge & plug gauge market 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.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the ring gauge & plug gauge market share. The pandemic caused a disruption in the global supply chain, which affected the availability of ring gauges and plug gauges. This was due to factors such as factory closures, travel restrictions, and delays in shipping. The COVID-19 pandemic also led to a decline in demand for manufacturing and industrial products. This was because many businesses were forced to close or operate at reduced capacity. As a result, there was less demand for ring gauges and plug gauges, which are used in these industries. The supply chain disruption and decline in demand led to an increase in prices of ring gauges and plug gauges. This was because manufacturers had to pass on the higher costs of raw materials and shipping to customers.

LATEST TRENDS

Growing Adoption of Automation in Manufacturing is expected to Fuel the Growth in the Market

Automated machines are able to produce parts with higher precision than human workers. This is because they are not susceptible to human errors, such as fatigue or carelessness. As a result, there is a greater need for ring gauge & plug gauge to ensure the accuracy of parts produced by automated machines. Automated machines are used in a variety of industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and electronics. This means that the demand for ring gauge & plug gauge is growing in a variety of industries. Ring gauge & plug gauge are also used to calibrate automated machines. This ensures that the machines are producing parts with the correct dimensions and tolerances.
