Market Growth Factors

The calibration services market is driven by the need for accurate measurements and traceability in several industries. The requirement for compliance with regulations and international standards for measurements is becoming stricter for companies. Increased technology has led to the development of more advanced instruments that require a higher level of skill and knowledge to be calibrated, and growing industries such as healthcare, automotive, aerospace and manufacturing all need calibration services.

Calibration services minimize downtime on instruments and maximize production by identifying problems and allowing repairs or other remedial actions before failure occurs. They are in greater demand as more instruments are handheld and portable, and greater awareness exists regarding the importance of instrument performance. This infrastructure means that companies will continue to invest in calibration solutions to make operations safe.

In energy and utilities, industry is increasingly shifting to renewable energy sources that need to be monitored and produced in specific ways. Another fast growing industry with specific needs is telecommunications, where calibration technology is employed to ensure the telecommunications network runs smoothly and optimally, considering 5G and IoT developments. The use of calibration management software, to automate the process, improve accuracy, and increase compliance, has also increased in recent years.
