The market for Electronic Weighing Scales Market is expected to reach US$ XX Mn By 2026.
Measurement techniques have been of great significance since the start of human civilization. In the 19th century, the industrial revolution brought a rapid development of new measurement techniques and instruments to meet the needs of industrialized production techniques. Because of the constant need to determine the exact weight, the market for electronic weighing scales is expected to grow significantly. The global electronic weighing scale market was valued at $4.85 billion in 2017 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2018 to 2026.
Weighing scales are used for determining the mass or weight of a substance. An electronic weighing scale is more durable, compact, and accurate than other conventional scales, such as spring scales or balances, which often wear out and give erroneous readings over a period of time. Electronic weighing scales are commonly used in businesses and industries for segregating and weighing materials accurately for processing sales. The electronic weighing scales work on a microchip and electronic response. As a result, the risk of inaccurate results is minimal compared to analog scales.
Any electronic weighing scale relies on accuracy. The precise measurements provided by the electronic weighing scales drive the demand from various sectors, including healthcare, retail, industrial, etc. Moreover, the advantages of electronic weighing scales, such as ease of handling and compact size, along with easy availability, are likely to drive the adoption of electronic weighing scales, thereby augmenting the market growth. In recent times, demand for electronic weighing scales has significantly increased as measuring weight has become more user-friendly. The rising dependence on these scales in diverse areas like hospitals, pharmacies, labs, supermarkets, kitchens, industries, and factories is growing to a greater extent, thereby enhancing the growth of the electronic weighing scale market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026.
In 2017, tabletop scales generated the most revenue.
On the basis of product type, the global electronic weighing scales market is segmented into crane scales, pallet truck scales, platform scales, precision scales, tabletop scales, and others. In terms of value contribution, tabletop scales dominated the market in 2017. Tabletop scales are electronic weighing scales that are tough and compact. These scales are ideal for use in laboratories, pharmacies, cafes, retail, restaurants, kitchens, offices, etc. Tabletop scales are light in weight, easy to operate, and cost-effective. As a result, the advantages associated with tabletop scales are augmenting their demand in the retail and industrial sectors.
Industrial Vertical Exhibits: Largest Market Share
In 2017, the industrial vertical held the lion's share of the global electronic weighing scales market.
