STRAIN GAGES MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global strain gages market size was USD 1.27 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 1.67 billion by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.4% during the forecast period. North America is dominating the strain gages market share in 2024.

Strain gauges are instruments used to gauge a material's deformation, or strain. In stress analysis, where the stress in a material is determined by measuring the deformation that tension causes, strain gauges are most frequently utilized. There are numerous techniques to measure this deformation, but the most popular is by using a strain gauge. Mechanical strain gauge sensors, electrical strain gauge sensors, and piezoelectric strain gauge sensors are the three types of strain gauge sensors that make up the market. Bounded strain gauges and unbounded strain gauges are the two market segments that have been established based on mounting type. Optical sensors, semiconductor strain gauges, photoelectric gauges, thin-film strain gauges, and diffused semiconductor strain gauges are the various market segments based on construction. The market for strain gauge sensors has been divided into deflection and bending measurement, residual stress, strain measurement, torque measurement, and vibration monitoring based on application.

The markets for strain gages (gauges) and transducers have expanded over the past ten years as industrial and household appliances have developed. The sophisticated mechanical and electronic equipment utilized in companies is expensive and requires a lot of upkeep. Pressure monitoring and management of these fluids are crucial for extending the lifespan of industrial equipment involving fluid flow. The market for pressure transmitters and transducers has been driven by these considerations. The world's expanding use of strain gauge sensors is largely due to the precise determination of appropriate measuring points, bonding with full, half, and quarter bridges, temperature, bending, and centrifugal force correction. Another key element influencing the market for strain gauge sensors is the use of these devices for test objects up to one tonne in weight. Chemical, metal, biotechnology, material, and the food and beverage sectors are a few of the main end-user industries for strain gauge sensors. There are numerous industries where strain gauge sensors can be used.

COVID-19 IMPACT

"Government Restrictions to Hamper Market Growth"

Due to mandatory lockdowns and other restrictions set by the relevant regulating bodies in the wake of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the activities of various industries have either been temporarily suspended or are running with small personnel. Similar to other markets, the worldwide Strain Gages market is expected to experience a major decline in revenue growth as a result of this aspect. Another aspect that can limit the expansion of the global market's revenue during this projected period is the high cost of these machines' installation and maintenance.

LATEST TRENDS

DRIVING FACTORS

"Several Applications of the Equipment to Augment Market Growth"

There are numerous industries where strain gauge sensors can be used. The properties of these sensors, such as the quantity of gauges in a gauge pattern, the strength of a grid's resistance, the sensitivity to temperature, their affordability, gauge length, and gauge breadth, dictate how they are used. Chemical, metal, biotechnology, material, and the food and beverage sectors are a few of the main end-user industries for strain gauge sensors. The world's expanding use of strain gauge sensors is largely due to the precise determination of appropriate measuring points, bonding with full, half, and quarter bridges, temperature, bending, and centrifugal force correction.

"Rising Demand for Accurate Sensors to Fuel Market Growth"

As the requirement for precise measurement and control grows, strain gauge demand is rising in the automotive and aerospace industries. Testing in the outdoors frequently differs significantly from testing in an ideal laboratory. The ability of strain gauges to function under challenging conditions while producing reliable, precise findings is one of the main factors contributing to their high value. A specialized instrument like a strain gauge is frequently required when an engineer evaluates objects with atypical forms in challenging conditions with challenging access arrangements. For instance, FEA (Finite Element Analysis) and CAD (Computer Aided Design) simulation findings are validated in aerospace applications using millions of strain gauges. These experiments are frequently carried out under dynamic circumstances to accurately depict the effects of various stresses on aircraft.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

"Complex Design of the Equipment to Impede Market Expansion"

For load detection and vibration sensing (Static and dynamic Load) bonded metal wire type strain gauge drawbacks prone to creep mistake. Since they are immediately glued to the specimen and extremely sensitive, the accuracy will diminish over time as the adhesive wears. One of the technical barriers to the expansion of the global strain gages market growth is the complexity of design and installation.
