Test & Measurement

As the markets for LED lighting and LED based products grow, test and measurement equipment vendors adapt to meet the needs of a rapidly changing industry

LED technology is being constantly upgraded to meet the requirements of newer applications. To cope with this demand, new LED lighting products are flooding the market. Presently, the industrial and commercial segment is the biggest market for LED lights, primarily because of the longer hours of usage per day, translating into bigger savings

The growth in the telecom, automation, electronics and education sectors, along with increasing defence spending are prime factors influencing the growth of the T&M market. Investments from the government as well as private players are also expected to grow

Rather than the traditional outright purchase of T&M equipment, which requires a huge capital expenditure, the rental model is emerging as a viable option

Usage of oscilloscopes are increasing with new segments emerging. Oscilloscopes with breakthrough technology make evaluation more efficient, accurate and speedy

T&M instruments, an integral part of R&D and manufacturing, have a great potential market in India, especially with the explosion in the telecom sector

These machines are not only evolving in technology to meet the growing demands of customers, but are also being subjected to stringent quality tests on performance, operational fluency and construction specifications

Rapid technology changes in end user markets are driving oscilloscope vendors to keep with the pace. Moreover, with increasing competition, companies are coming up with newer products with added features and innovations. The market is today crowded with customer driven products that are easy to use and meet the constantly evolving needs of particular verticals

Engineers and manufacturers constantly want the best equipment, whether it’s for compliance testing, communication testing solutions, machine vision and inspection. This has led to the development of multimeters that are not only precise but also incorporate the latest trends and features. With the advances in technology, high end modern handheld multimeters with the best possible performance and reliability are available in the market at an affordable price

In the last few years, India has emerged as a major market for electronic products and systems. This growing business and demand for electronic products has led to the increasing need for greater accuracy and highly specialised test and measurement (T&M) devices such as digital multimeters, digital insulation testers, logic analysers, digital oscilloscopes, spectrum analysers, time domain reflectometers (TDR), multimeters, line power meters, etc. Over the last couple of years, the T&M industry has been constantly evolving to accommodate the technical advancements in the industries it caters to. In appreciation of the Indian T&M manufacturers, importers and traders, Electronics Bazaar carried out an opinion poll on various companies’ state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities, market share, service support and reach. We contacted experts in electronics associations, manufacturers, traders and customers of T&M equipment, who shared with us their preferences of leading T&M companies. While this list is by no means comprehensive, it provides a glimpse into India’s leading T&M companies. We are not ranking them, but have only listed them in alphabetical order. We hope our initiative will be beneficial to our readers.

Observing huge growth and opportunity in the telecom sector, Livingston plans to target this segment in India

The T&M sector has been critical to the growth of emerging sectors like telecom, enabling precision measurement and quality control. As the telecom sector focuses more on quality products and services, the role of manufacturers in the T&M space has become significant in ensuring that quality and reliable products reach the sector. We at Electronics Bazaar contacted a large number of industry experts, who shared with us their preferences on T&M instrument brands. We do not rank them but only list them in alphabetical order
