Market Trends of Radar Level Transmitter Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Radar Level Transmitter Market according to our research experts:
Contact System (Guided Wave Radar) Technology to Hold Maximum Market Share
- Radar transmitter can have a hard time in applications with different dielectric constants that cause electric reflectivity. If there is a material with low conductivity like propane or LNG, signals can bounce back weak. This is where GWR can help because it focuses energy down a rod, which shows changes in the dielectric constant, and allows readings that couldn't be seen before.
- The significant increase in signal strength and efficiency allows GWR to be used in boiler-level applications. Newer GWR designs have sensors, microprocessors and mounting innovations that enable them to get even closer to the process they're measuring. While high-temperature applications used to rely on pressure devices to indicate level, gradual improvement in radar and GWR are allowing them to also serve in these environments.
- For instance, in case of power and steam generation which undergo fast starts and cycling operations, dynamics in the steam drum rapidly change causing inaccuracies in traditional level measurement techniques that rely on pressure.This inaccuracy may lead to carryover which can cause coating of critical boiler components and turbine blades, or it may waste energy due to excessive blowdowns. To ensure accurate level measurement in the steam drum during all operations, users have moved towards GWR level transmitters to directly measure the level as this technology is not affected by changes in process media characteristics.
- Companies are working towards product innovations, which is helping to overcome this challenge. For instance, Mangetrol International Inc has developed an innovative probe design that includes new Condensation Control Technology (CCT) coupled with its original patented Automatic Steam Compensation (ASC). Th e new steam probe with CCT eliminates inaccuracies caused by condensation so that optimal performance can be achieved. Rosemount provides 5300 Level transmitter based on GWR technology. This transmitter is suitable for challenging measurements on liquids, slurries, and solids, providing modern reliability and safety features in level and interface applications.

Asia Pacific Occupies the Largest market Share
- The market for radar level transmitters in the Asia-Pacific region is anticipated to witness significant growth owing to the established base of industries, such as chemicals & petrochemicals and mining industries. Due to rapid economic growth and large-scale urbanization in these countries, China and India provide exciting opportunities for players offering radar-level transmitters.
- In addition to the products offered by the key players, the market is also witnessing the growth of product offerings from domestic players. For example, SBEM Pvt., Pune, India, Ltd has been offering non-contact, continuous Pulsed Radar-based Level transmitter series 138 for level indication of bulk solids & liquids.
- The chemicals and petrochemicals, food & beverages industries are observing development in the region. Water-intensive industries such as these require treatment facilities and are expected to generate greater demand for the market studied. Besides, the high rate of urbanization in emerging countries across the region has increased the pressure on existing water and wastewater infrastructure. This, in turn, has pushed the demand for level monitoring solutions, partly to improve asset efficiency and partly to meet water conservation goals.
