Test & Measurement

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

India is a major hub for electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and the growing demand from this sector adds impetus to the country’s handheld T&M equipment market. Also, the steady demand from sectors like defence, education, railways, manufacturing, automobile, and from R&D labs, is boosting its growth further. In an effort to appreciate handheld T&M instrument players in India, we at Electronics Bazaar, contacted a large number of industry experts and electronic associations, who shared with us their preferences on handheld T&M instruments brands. We do not rank them but only list them in alphabetical order.

The Indian market is flooded with all sorts of handheld T&M equipment brands but buyers prefer the cheapest ones without giving much thought to quality and service support. Many important factors should be considered while making a favourable buying decision

Test and measurement companies hit by recession resist the slowdown with enterprising strategies

Although there is not one microcontroller manufacturer in India currently and users have to either import or procure them from local sourcing agents, the remarkable rise in microcontroller based applications is expected to result in indigenous production in India

Exorbitance and want of government support are cardinal reasons for India’s unviability as a production destination for oscilloscope manufacturers

The test and measurement (T&M) industry in India is performing exceptionally well in the last few years. India’s recent success in space programmes has also boosted the market to a great extent. Moreover, the growth that India is witnessing in the telecommunications market is also giving a fillip to the industry. In this article, we are listing the Top 20 T&M players in India in terms of their revenue. This was an extensive exercise as we got in touch with more than 80 companies, both multinationals and indigenous firms. Some major firms like Agilent, Tektronics, Scientech Technologies could not be included in the list as they have not shared their Indian revenue. Agilent has shared their global revenue, which is worth $5.8 billion. According to Mahadevan Viswanathan, country manager, sales, Agilent Technologies, “India has been witnessing a good growth in T&M industry over the last couple of years. The growth is seen across all the served industry segments like telecom, aerospace, defence, automotive, consumer electronics, contract manufacturing and semiconductor. Telecom growth is mainly fuelled by increasing subscriber-base, domestic demand and new technologies like 3G, WiMAX & LTE. Aerospace and defence has been largely dependent on the T&M industry for their mission-critical testing needs for robust systems and homeland security.”
