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.
Scope
