Ultrasonic Flow Meter Market Overview

An ultrasonic flow meter, also known as non-intrusive doppler flow meter, is used to measure the velocity of fluids flowing in a pipe. Ultrasonic flow meter uses sound wave as a medium to measure the velocity of the fluid. However, ultrasonic flow meter can’t be used to measure of drinking water or distilled water as ultrasonic flow meter requires bubbles or particulates in the flow. Ultrasonic flow meter is used in many industries such as oil & gas, water and wastewater, power generation, food and other industries.

Market Size & Forecast

Global ultrasonic market is anticipated to grow at a remarkable compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1% over the forecast period 2017-2024. Further, global ultrasonic flow meter market stood at valuation of around USD 6.2 Billion by the end of 2016 and is expected to reach at a valuation of around USD 8.8 Billion by the end of year 2024.

In terms of region, global ultrasonic flow meter market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and Middle East & Africa region.
