Thermocouple Wire Market Report

Market Insights

"The global thermocouple wire market is likely to rebound at a promising CAGR of 5.8% in the long run to reach US$ 493.0 million in 2027."

A thermocouple wire is a temperature-sensing element used in thermocouple probes for sensing temperature at critical sections of various industrial equipment. There are different types of thermocouple devices based on the type of thermocouple wire utilized in them. A high-quality thermocouple wire must possess wide operating temperature ranges and excellent corrosion resistance along with long service life and high accuracy in extremely aggressive environments and high-temperature conditions. The emergence of IIoT or smart manufacturing practices is likely to generate huge potential for thermocouple probes (including thermocouple wire) in the market. Increasing collaborations between companies to gain technological intelligence for developing smart thermocouple probes with advanced features are also likely to boost the demand for thermocouples in various industries, which will ultimately support the exponential growth in the thermocouple wire market in the years to come.

The thermocouple wire market suffered a huge loss during the pandemic with a severe decline of -14.8% in 2020, which has severely affected a large number of stakeholders in the industry. Weakened demand for thermocouple wire from end-use industries, disruption in the supply chain, a temporary halt in manufacturing operations, and tumbling organic growth of various industries are the key factors that negatively impacted the market growth during the pandemic.

The market started to rebound from the year 2021 with the recovery in major markets led by growing nuclear power generation, recovery in aircraft and automotive production rates, recovering steel production, etc.

Segments' Analysis

End-Use Industry Trends

The transportation segment accounted for the largest as well as the fastest-growing market."

Based on the end-use industry type, the thermocouple wire market is segmented as transportation, steel & metal processing, glass & ceramics, power, oil & gas, and others. Despite the pandemic, transportation is expected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing market for thermocouple wires during the forecast period owing to a wide-scale utilization of thermocouple wires in the automotive and aircraft industries coupled with increasing automotive production, improving air-passenger traffic, and rising demand for high-temperature thermocouple probes to test newly advanced lightweight parts.

Thermocouple Wire Trends

Type K segment accounted for the largest market share."

Based on the thermocouple wire type, the market is segmented as type K, type J, type N, type R, type S, and others. Type K is expected to remain the dominant segment of the market, whereas type N is the fastest-growing thermocouple wire type in the market during the forecast period. The dominance of type K wire is led by its wide operating temperature range along with its capabilities to perform in extreme environmental conditions due to excellent oxidation resistance and high reliability. Type N, a lesser penetrated wire type, is expected to grow rapidly in the market and is mainly replacing type K wire.

Channel Trends

"Distributor sales segment accounted for the largest as well as the fastest-growing market."

Based on the sales channel type, the market is segmented as direct sales and distributor sales. Distributor sales are expected to maintain their dominance with faster growth over the next five years. A large number of thermocouple wire manufacturers prefers distributor channel to reach the maximum customers across the world. Major players in the market are forming wide distribution networks at various locations of the world. For instance, Belden Inc. recently partnered with Omnicable and WireXpress to expand its sales across the USA.

Regional Insights

"Asia-Pacific accounted for the largest as well as the fastest-growing market."

In terms of regions, Asia-Pacific is expected to remain the largest as well as the fastest-growing market for thermocouple wires during the forecast period. Major players have set up their sales offices and manufacturing sites in the region to fulfill the huge demand for thermocouple wires generated from various end-use industries. The region is the largest producer of steel, automobiles, chemicals, and petrochemicals in the world. Moreover, the emergence of new aircraft OEMs and the expansion of Boeing and Airbus's manufacturing sites in the region is expected to enhance the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Europe is projected to remain the second-largest market for thermocouple wires during the forecast period. Recovering automotive production, ongoing economic recovery, and expanding industrial sectors are fuelling the growth of thermocouple wires in the region. Expected growth in glass and steel production is acting as a catalyst for the growth of the thermocouple wire market in Europe.
