VIDEO EXTENSOMETERS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global video extensometers market size was valued at USD 0.06 billion in 2023 and is projected to touch USD 0.09 billion by 2032, at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. 

The extensometer is an instrument for measuring minute deformations, as of a test specimen. Furthermore, it is caused by tension, compression, bending, or twisting. It is also commonly known as a strain gauge. On the other hand, a video extensometer is a device that is capable of performing stress/strain measurements of certain materials, by capturing continuous images of the specimen during test, using a frame grabber or a digital video camera attached to a personal computer (PC). Furthermore, the functioning of a video extensometer is conducted by the Specimens are often provided with lines, dots or various patterns of black-and-white marks. The sensors and software algorithms within the video extensometer detect the motion of these marks and thus the change in length/displacement during the test.

Additionally, the market is inclusive of three segmented applications such as plastic measurement, metal measurement, composite material measurement and others end consumers. Firstly, plastic mmeasuring is gauge and is the added conventional imposing volume of polythene although, micron is the new metric standard. Moreover, one mutual base amid the measurements is, the larger the gauge, millimeter and micron the denser the polythene. Secondly, metal measurement is shortened with the letters “ga” and there are a minimal variations gauge patterns. Moreover, inclusive of the producer’s standard gauge, which measures the density of galvanized, stainless steel and regular metals. However, the Brown and Sharpe gauge is consumed to evaluate, aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous metals. On the other hand, composite material measurement is the usage of equations to determine the precision solely by calculating the fiber stiffness and strengths. Furthermore, as well as the volume segment of the components.

COVID-19 Impact: COVID-19 Virus Continued Expansion Globally and Implied Lockdowns

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the video extensometers market experiencing lower-than anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The unmatched expansion of the COVID-19 virus brought an immense problems to governments and businesses on a global scale, which led to the international agencies terming it as a pandemic and which engaged a decrease in the global demand and laid upon unwanted trials to numerous industries and their markets. Moreover, the relentless growth of the COVID-19 virus also introduced for an insensitive and rigid lockdown, which drove several organizations into closure and implementing inconsiderate budgets cuts to maintain survival within their markets. However, restraints and stiff instructions on movement harmed the market because, there were no volumes of demand from the main consuming applications such as plastic measurement, metal measurement, composite material measurement and others end consumers. This led to an overall decrease in growth of the market.

LATEST TRENDS
