Research is pleased to present The World Market for Vortex Flowmeters,
3rd Edition. The study began shipping in March 2006. It was
previously published in 2001 and 2003. The 2006 edition of the study
includes the segmentation included in earlier versions, and also
introduces new segmentation. A lot of important developments have
occurred in the vortex flowmeter market in the past several years. This
study takes these developments into account, and provides a completely
updated look at the worldwide vortex flowmeter market.
One exciting new development is the formulation of standards for vortex flowmeters in custody transfer applications. These standards have been formulated by the American Petroleum Institute (API), as a result of expressed needs by manufacturers and end-users alike. If these standards are approved, it should give a substantial boost to the vortex flowmeter market. This is just one of the many dynamic changes that are occurring in this fast-changing market.
Segmentation
This
study includes market size in dollars and units for vortex flowmeters
worldwide and by geographic region. It reveals market shares by geographic region.
It says what industries vortex flowmeters are sold into.
The study also includes other important segmentation, including:
-
Multivariable vs. single variable
-
Smart vs. conventional
-
Wafer vs. flanged vs. insertion
-
Gas vs. liquid vs. steam
-
Line sizes (from <1 inch to > 12 inches)
-
Industry (including semiconductor)
-
Type of Communication Protocol (Foundation Fieldbus, Profibus, HART, etc.)
-
Sales Channel (Direct vs. Independent Reps vs. Distributors vs. E-Business)
-
Customer Type (End-users vs. OEMs vs. Systems Integrators vs. Engineers/Consultants
Goals of Study
One main goal of this study was to determine the size of the vortex flowmeter market worldwide in 2005. Even though growth from 2000 to 2002 was slow, there are signs that the vortex flowmeter market has broken out of its slump. If true, it will be good news for vortex flowmeter suppliers and users alike.
One important issue is the role of multivariable flowmeters in the vortex market. This study seeks to determine if this technology is gaining traction, or if it is stuck in neutral. It is a good sign that several new suppliers have introduced vortex flowmeters. This is likely to give a push to multivariable vortex technology.
This study also examines the role of vortex flowmeters in gas flow measurement, and the role of industry approvals. The lack of industry approvals is one factor that has prevented the vortex flowmeter market from growing as rapidly as the ultrasonic and Coriolis markets. There are signs that this is changing, and that vortex flowmeters will gain the approvals they previously lacked. This study examines the effect of industry approvals on the vortex flowmeter market.
Flow Research has completed a series of eleven studies that include all types of flowmeters. Information about these studies is at http://www.flowresearch.com/flow.htm. This study should be of special interest to any manufacturer of vortex flowmeters, and to users and specifiers of vortex flowmeters.
