The Market for Temperature Transmitters in the Americas, Second Edition

 

Rationale for Study

 

In the last study, we found a shift from analog temperature transmitters towards smart and programmable transmitters.  One objective of the study is to see if the shift towards smart and programmable temperature transmitters has continued over the past few years and, if it has, at what rate.  High-tier transmitters have enhanced accuracy, and many can accept more than one type of sensor.  The last study found significant growth in high-tier transmitters.  We propose to determine if this trend has continued in the past few years.

 

It has been several years since anyone has taken a serious look at the temperature transmitter market.  During this time, supplier consolidation has occurred, and temperature transmitter technology has continued to evolve.  Flow Research intends to take a new look at the temperature transmitter market.  We plan to determine market sizes by type of temperature transmitter, determine market shares, and identify growth trends.  With the background of the earlier study available as a baseline, we expect to accurately describe how the market has changed over the past five years, and to realistically describe what the market will look like in the next several years to come..

 

The objectives of the study will be achieved by providing a comprehensive view of the temperature transmitters market from the perspectives of supply, distribution, and product utilization.  Key findings will be realized through the use of structured in-depth supplier interviews, internet surveys and reviews, and secondary research of technical resources.  An end-user survey will supplement the core study.
