World General Purpose Test & Measurement Equipment Markets

 
Building of Asia Pacific Telecom Infrastructure Creates New Markets for Test Equipment

As the global economy recovers from the severe downturn of 2001, building of telecom infrastructure in several countries in the Asia Pacific region is creating fresh opportunities for state-of-the-art test and measurement (T&M) equipment.

This Frost & Sullivan research analyzes the global market for T&M equipment. It provides valuable analysis of the market drivers and restraints along with forecasts for geographic regions and end-user segments. The segments covered include electronic counters, signal generators, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, power meters, multimeters, LCR meters, PC-based test, and VXI and PXI test equipment.

Emerging Technologies in Communications Industry Offers New Opportunities

"Growth of the telecommunications industry has been a major factor in the increase in demand for T&M equipment," reports the author of this study. "The telecommunications network depends on the ability of its infrastructure and equipment to process signals. Any distortion of signals will result in a failure of communication and so both the manufacturers of communication equipment and network/service providers want T&M products."

Although the telecommunications market is currently depressed with excess capacity, new application markets such as satellite-based personal networks, home automation networks, wireless local area networks, and wireless Internet too will need test equipment. The move toward 3G mobile systems will spur demand for instruments such as signal analyzers that are capable of high-resolution measurements. Another emerging gold mine for T&M instruments is the testing of medical equipment and various bio-medical engineering applications.

Continuous Innovation and International Focus Will Differentiate Market Leaders

Burgeoning communications and electronics equipment manufacturing markets in China, Korea, Malaysia and other countries offer immense opportunities for original equipment manufacturers in the T&M market. Advances in communications technologies such as asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), synchronous optical network (SONET), Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gig E, and others have created the need for different testing and latest equipment.

"International focus, a keen eye for demand changes and further research into technological challenges are what will differentiate mere market participants from market leaders," says the author. Successful manufacturers will be the ones that quickly identify and collaborate with the leaders among the communications companies to develop instruments that can be used on the new systems and evolving standards.
