The global reference thermometer market size is expected to reach USD 16.6 million in 2030 and projected to grow at CAGR 5.4% from 2024 to 2030. Increasing manufacturing activities in developing and developed nations such as China and India are expected to bolster market growth over the forecast period.
A reference thermometer can be used as a temperature sensor as its resistance value changes with variations in temperature. These thermometers have been in use for a long period and find application in a host of industrial and laboratory temperature measurement processes such as petroleum lab, pharmaceutical lab, test facility, calibration lab, and pipeline flowmeter calibration. They are able to efficiently meet the need for accuracy, stability, repeatability, and reliability of measurement. Owing to the aforementioned features, the reference thermometer market is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period.
By device type, the handheld segment is expected to register the fastest growth owing to benefits such as portability. Furthermore, these devices are less expensive as compared to desktop devices, which are primarily used in the field of scientific research and development due to their enhanced accuracy.
