The ultrasonic flow meter market is divided into two main segments based on measurement technology: transit-time, doppler, and hybrid. Transit-time technology dominates the market, holding a whopping 80-85% share globally. This popularity is due to its affordability, bi-directional flow measurement, and precise accuracy – a winning combination for the oil & gas and water & wastewater industries. These industries heavily rely on transit-time meters to measure liquid and gas flow.

On the other hand, the market is segmented by end-user industries, with oil & gas leading the pack in terms of growth. The need for highly accurate flow measurement in custody transfer applications within this sector fuels the demand for ultrasonic flow meters. They're also used for pump testing, water and methanol injection metering, in-line meter verification, and general water measurements. Major players like Cameron, Katronic, Endress+Hauser, Krohne, and Emerson are key participants in supplying ultrasonic flow meters to the oil & gas industry. Furthermore, with Saudi Arabia's gas production projected to rise by 4-5% annually (based on BP stats 2019), the demand for ultrasonic flow meters in this sector is expected to climb even higher in the coming years.
