The Market for
Temperature Sensors in the Americas, 2nd Edition
The temperature sensors market has changed
dramatically since our last study. Technologies,
market sizes and forecasts, market shares, corporate ownership, and
distribution methods have all experienced significant transitions during
the last six years, and this study analyzes them all.
From
a technology viewpoint, this study explores the six major temperature
product categories. These
include thermocouples, RTD’s, thermistors, infrared thermometers, fiber
optic temperature sensors, and thermowells.
The study examines quickly evolving technologies such as fiber
optic and infrared temperature sensors, and evaluates the impact of
enhancements to the more traditional sensor product types.
It takes you from the technology fundamentals through to the highly
specialized applications of today.
This
new study includes market size for each type of temperature sensor, in
both dollars and units. It
includes market shares by geographic region, including the United States,
Canada, and Latin America. Suppliers
from outside the Western Hemisphere are also taken into account.
The study fully defines the technology shifts and heightened merger
and acquisition activity that characterize this market. Strategies to both prevail and grow in this new market
reality are provided.
Another
topic of the study is the immense corporate churn that has occurred here
since 2000. For example, you
may recall that YSI bought Victory Engineering a number of years ago. More recently, YSI Temperature was sold to Measurement
Specialties, who, in turn, also purchased BetaTHERM. This scenario has been repeated over and over again during
the last five years. This
study provides 71 company profiles to help you sort out who is who in the
Americas market, what their product lines are, what their other
capabilities are, and how they intend to proceed.
All
companies seek to improve their bottom line by increasing sales while
reducing the cost of sales. While
many firms cut back on expenses such as trade show participation, they
also look with optimism to new sales methods such as e-business.
This study assesses today’s use of the Internet, as well as
quantifying the use of the classic product delivery methods of
distributors, representatives, and direct sales to end-users.
