The market growth of pointer temperature and humidity meters is significant, presenting a new opportunity for industry development

Recently, with the increasing demand for environmental monitoring in various industries, the pointer temperature and humidity meter market has shown a significant growth trend. As an environmental monitoring tool widely used in industrial and agricultural research laboratories, greenhouses, livestock and poultry breeding, pharmaceutical and food storage, etc., pointer hygrometers are highly favored by the market due to their intuitive readings, stable performance, no need for power supply, and durability.

According to the 2025 China Temperature and Humidity Indicator Industry Research Report released by Bezos Consulting, the global temperature and humidity indicator (including pointer type) market capacity is considerable in 2024, and the Chinese market occupies an important share in it. The report predicts that by 2030, the global market size will further increase and maintain a certain annual compound growth rate during the forecast period. From the perspective of segmented product types, pointer thermometers and hygrometers occupy a certain proportion in the market, and together with digital products, they meet the diverse needs of different customer groups.

In terms of application fields, pointer thermometers and hygrometers are ubiquitous. In the pharmaceutical industry, precise temperature and humidity control is crucial for the quality and efficacy of drugs. Pointer thermometers provide reliable data for monitoring the storage environment of drugs, ensuring the stability of drugs within their expiration date. The food industry is no exception. From raw material storage to food processing and finished product storage, the suitability of temperature and humidity directly affects the safety and quality of food. Temperature and humidity indicators have become an important defense line to ensure food safety. In addition, in the petrochemical industry and many other industries that are sensitive to environmental temperature and humidity, analog hygrometers play an indispensable role.

However, with the advancement of technology and the upgrading of market demand, the pointer temperature and humidity meter industry is also facing many challenges and opportunities. On the one hand, some users have reported that pointer thermometers with mechanical structures may experience accuracy deviations after long-term use, which are greatly affected by environmental factors such as drastic changes in temperature and humidity. In response to this, companies in the industry are actively exploring countermeasures by improving production processes and using higher quality materials to enhance product stability and accuracy. For example, some companies have developed new sensing materials with higher stability and sensitivity, effectively reducing errors caused by material aging.

On the other hand, the wave of intelligent technology has also brought new development directions to the pointer temperature and humidity meter industry. Although traditional mechanical thermometers are currently the mainstay, some companies have begun to integrate IoT technology into them and develop new products with intelligent calibration, remote data transmission, and other functions to meet the needs of modern enterprises for intelligent and convenient environmental monitoring.

In the future, the pointer temperature and humidity meter industry is expected to usher in a broader development space under the dual drive of technological innovation and market expansion, and continue to provide strong support for the environmental monitoring needs of various industries.
