Electronic measuring instruments are devices that utilize electrical signals to measure physical quantities such as voltage, current, resistance, frequency, or temperature with high precision. They convert these quantities into readable electrical signals or digital displays for monitoring, analysis, and control. These instruments enable engineers and technicians to ensure systems function efficiently, safely, and in compliance with established standards.
The primary types of electronic measuring instruments include digital instruments, analog instruments, and smart instruments. Digital instruments are devices that measure electrical or physical quantities and present results in discrete numerical form using digital signals, providing high accuracy and easy readability. They employ technologies such as digital, analog, and hybrid systems and are used in applications including circuit testing and troubleshooting, frequency and phase measurement, high-voltage testing, power quality assessment, signal analysis, and voltage and current measurement. These instruments are distributed through both online and offline sales channels and are utilized by a wide range of end users, including aerospace and defense, automotive and transportation, consumer electronics, education and research, energy and power, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, and telecommunications.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.
