The Global Subsea Pressure Transmitter Market size is estimated to grow from USD 2.45 Billion in 2021 to USD X.XX Billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 8.1% during the forecast period, 2021-2028. The factors that are driving the growth of this market include increasing demand for deepwater exploration and production and rising requirements for accurate measurement equipment in the oil & gas industry among others. However, lack of skilled personnel could pose a major challenge for this market in coming years

Subsea pressure transmitters are devices that measure and record the pressures in a system. They can be used to monitor, regulate and control flow rates on pipelines or other structures where there is an elevated risk of overpressure as well as for measuring atmospheric pressure changes due to weather conditions.

Subsea pressure transmitters are available in a variety of configurations that can be used for different applications. Some subsea systems use absolute, differential, or gauge measurements to determine the atmospheric pressure while others have multi-variable capabilities with up to four independent channels.

On the basis of Type, the market is segmenetd into Absolute Pressure Transmitters, Differential Pressure Transmitters, Gauge Pressure Transmitters, and Multivariable transmitters.

Absolute Pressure Transmitters:

Absolute pressure transmitters measure the absolute value of a fluid's static (i.e., unchanging) or dynamic (i.e., changing with time) pressure in gauges, pounds per square inch (psi), kilopascals (kPa), millibars, inches mercury column (inHg), and torr. Absolute pressure transmitters are often used in aviation, petroleum refining, and petrochemical industries to measure the exact level of fuel or other fluid levels at a particular time, as well as in the food and beverage industry to measure boiling or bubbling liquids.

Differential Pressure Transmitters :

Differential Pressure Transmitters (DPS) can be defined as an instrument that measures changes in fluid pressure and transmits a signal to indicate the magnitude of change in fluid pressure. DPSs are used for process control, safety instrumentation, and various other industrial applications where accurate measurement of differential pressures is required.

Gauge Pressure Transmitters:

Gauge pressure transmitters measure the absolute value of a fluid's static (i.e., unchanging) or dynamic (i.e., changing with time) pressure in kilopascals, pounds per square inch, millibars, and inches mercury column gauge units and are often used in the hydraulic and petrochemical industries to measure the exact level of fuel or other fluid levels at a particular time.

Multivariable Transmitters:

Multivariable transmitters measure two or more variables, such as pressure & temperature, through one device. They are typically used when measuring process fluids with both differential and absolute pressures that may be required for various purposes within the process. Multivariable transmitters are often used in the petroleum refining, petrochemical, and natural gas industries to measure various fluid levels and pressures

Gauge Pressure Transmitters:

Gauge Pressure Transmitters measure gas or liquid pressures that are expressed in various units such as pounds per square inch, kilopascals, and millibars. Gauge pressure transmitters are often used in hydraulic applications to measure the exact level of fuel or other fluid levels at a particular time

On the basis of Application, the market is segmented into Oil & Gas, Mining, Other

Oil and Gas:

The oil and gas industry has been continuously growing in terms of the demand for both crude oil and natural gas. Petroleum, coal, or other fossil fuels are mostly used as a primary energy source to run power plants, generate electricity, etc. This high requirement for hydrocarbons results in an increased need for subsea pressure transmitters which can be acquired by oil and gas companies in the offshore markets.

Mining:

The subsea pressure transmitter is the most common type of sensor used in ore mining. It measures the vast range of pressures that exist on land as well as underwater and transmits data about these measurements to an operator or controller for analysis. The purpose of this device is to measure variables such as atmospheric pressure, barometric pressure, and even the pressure of the liquid in a pipeline.
