The global pH meters market size reached USD 1.8 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 2.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 4.06% during 2025-2033. The increasing preference for processed food, rising product adoption in the agricultural sector, and the growing use of pH meters to access the health of aquatic ecosystems represent some of the key factors driving the market.
pH meters are instruments used to measure the acidity or alkalinity (pH) of a solution. They comprise a temperature sensor and a voltmeter attached to an electrode. They work by measuring the electrical potential difference between a pH electrode and a reference electrode. They provide accurate measurements of the pH of a solution and are more precise as compared to pH paper or other chemical indicators, which can be affected by factors such as temperature, humidity, and the perception of the color. They are commonly available in various sizes and configurations that can measure pH values ranging from 0 to 14 of liquids, solids, and semi-solids. They can also be incorporated into a larger process control system and provide continuous monitoring of the pH of a solution.
pH meters are employed in the food and beverage (F&B) industry to assess the pH value of dairy products, such as cheese, curd, and yogurt. This, coupled with the increasing preference for processed and ready to eat (RTE) food products on account of rapid urbanization and expanding purchasing power of consumers, represents one of the major factors strengthening the growth of the market around the world. Moreover, the rising use of pH meters to monitor the pH of lakes, rivers, and oceans to assess the health of aquatic ecosystems due to the growing environmental concerns is influencing the market positively. In addition, there is an increase in the use of pH meters in the agricultural sector to monitor the pH of soil and water to ensure optimal crop growth. This, along with governments of various countries are undertaking initiatives to promote sustainable agriculture practices. Apart from this, the increasing adoption of pH meters to measure the water quality in municipal wastewater systems and swimming pools is favoring the growth of the market. Furthermore, key players are introducing portable and handheld pH meters with automatic temperature control. These variants are also integrated with advanced technologies, such as smart sensors and multi parameter analysis to improve the experience of the consumer. Besides this, the growing awareness about the importance of pH measurement is creating a positive outlook for the market.
