Viscometer Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

The global Viscometer Market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.5% during the forecast period 2018-2023. APAC is the fastest growing market with a CAGR of 6.1% which is mainly attributed to the growing demand from manufacturing industries. North America and Europe viscometer markets are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4% and 2.7% respectively.

Viscometers are the instruments or devices that are used to measure the viscosity of a fluid. However, Viscometers measure the viscosity of fluids which are under one flow condition only.  According to Industry ARC findings, rheometers (a type of viscometer) will hold the largest market share during the forecast period. Rheometers are used in many applications such as petrochemical refineries, cosmetics, chemical industries, research laboratories, food and beverage industries, chemical industries and others.

Refinery plants are rapidly adopting automation into the plants to ensure maximum safety and security of equipment, personnel, and plant environment. This leads to higher demand for in-line viscometers in this industry. High usage of viscometers in chemical, petroleum, oil and gas industries are some of the driving factors for the growth of the market.

There are a large variety of viscometers available in the market and are chosen based on the application. However, every viscometer has a limitation in their design and functionality. Moreover, the use of viscometer requires more technical knowledge than some of the similar devices such as consistometer. In addition to this, the cost of viscometer being extremely high always provides the end-users an option to adopt other alternatives products. Moreover, the accuracy of a viscometer is dependent upon proper selection, the engineering of the instrument, and precise temperature control. Negligence in any of these factors could result in inaccuracy in the measurement.

In 2018, Anton Paar GmbH, which has its headquarters at Austria had launched new rotational viscometer ViscoQCTM 100 which is available in three versions and has unique function in chic design and is ideal for pharmaceutical applications. Some of the other key players mentioned in this report are AMETEK Inc (Brookfield), Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc, Spectris (Malvern), Waters Corporation, Cannon Instrument Company and among others.

Increase in usage of viscometers in chemical, oil and gas industries increases the demand of the viscometers market. In 2019, India got an approval of Rs225.94 billion ($3.17 billion) investment for the expansion of the Numaligarh refinery in Assam to meet rising fuel demand. Increase in investments in industries set to propel the viscometer market growth in the near future.

As per Oil & Gas Journal, the investments in the U.S. for upstream projects of oil and gas industries has been increased by 9% in the last year. These type of investments are expected to increase adoption of different types of viscometer as they are widely used in oil and gas industries, thereby increasing the demand of the market. 

Increase in technological advancements, expansion of material manufacturing and petrochemical industries, and growing stringency of the regulatory framework for product safety compliance in cosmeceutical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries are expected to increase the demand of the viscometers market globally.
