The global modular instruments market size reached USD 2.2 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% during 2025-2033.
A modular instrument refers to the device used for the configuration of automated test and measurement (T&M) equipment. It consists of frames for connecting functional cards and accommodating input and output channels, along with VME standard, VXI standard, personal computer plug-ins and Compact PCI standard. The instrument uses a computer-user interface and require written test programs for accurate measurements. It also offers various benefits, such as higher channel count for data acquisition, efficiency in automated tests and an integrated space solution for the connection of multiple instruments. Owing to this, it finds extensive applications across various industries, including aerospace, defense, automotive, electronics, semiconductor, telecommunications, etc.
Significant growth in the electronics and semiconductor industries is one of the key factors driving the market. Modular instruments are used to test various components and devices at different stages of the manufacturing cycle and gauge the efficiency of the electronic system. Furthermore, developments in the 4G and 5G infrastructure across the globe is also providing a boost to the market growth. With the advancements in long-term evolution (LTE) systems, increased adoption of smart devices and substantial growth in mobile data traffic, there is a growing requirement for advanced modular instruments for the development of newer technologies, including LTE-A, 4G and 5G. There is also a widespread utilization of PXI-based devices, which is acting as another growth-inducing factor. It is an open and multi-vendor standard that ensures interoperability of modules and chassis from multiple vendors. Other factors, including increasing production of flexible electronics and the integration of connected devices with the Internet of Things (IoT), are projected to drive the market further.
