Gloss meters are devices particularly used to measure the specular reflection gloss, percentage reflectance, and haze of the product or material surface. Surface gloss is measured by projecting a specific amount of light onto the product surface with a fixed angle and evaluating the amount of light reflected at an opposite angle in the same line.
Demand for gloss meters is rapidly increasing across various industries such as paints, construction, automotive, and other related sectors. These devices are increasingly being used to measure the optical parameters of opaque glasses, paints, cloths, ceramics, pigments, coatings, and others.
Gloss meters can also be used on treated, smooth, as well as untreated surfaces such as laminates, wood, stones, and others. Attributed to this, these instruments are finding a wide range of applications for measuring specular gloss and percentage reflectance of metals, wood coating, stones, and glass chemicals. This is projected to drive the growth in the global gloss meters market.
In the past couple of years, a swift rise in building and construction activities is being witnessed, especially across developing economies, driven by growing penetration of the urbanization trend. Also, growing environmental concerns and need for the development of sustainable infrastructure are encouraging governments in several countries to emphasize on undertaking favorable construction initiatives.
For instance, as per a report by the India Brand Equity Foundation, the Government of India has announced sanctioning nearly US$ 868 million for the construction of 100 smart cities under the Smart Cities Mission to strengthen the sustainable infrastructure across the country in 2021. As gloss meters are extensively used in measuring optical parameters of granites, tiles, glass, floor laminations, paints, and wood coating, during the building & construction activities, such rise in initiatives and developments are estimated to bolster the sales in the market.
In addition to this, growing emphasis on the development of new digital gloss meters with integrated internet of things (IoT) technologies and features such as LCD display, USB interface, Bluetooth, and ergonomic designs are expected to create lucrative growth opportunities in the market.
Despite several advantages associated with the use of gloss meters, high cost of these devices and requirement for skilled personnel for operating and measuring surfaces gloss, reflectance, haze, and others is hindering the sales in the global market.
Future Market Insights reveals that North America is estimated to emerge as the most lucrative market for gloss meters between 2022 and 2032.
With growing disposable income and increasing customer preference for comfort traveling, production and sales of automotive vehicles have registered a significant rise across the countries such as the U.S. and Canada, resulting in fueling the demand for assistive equipments.
For instance, according to a study by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, nearly 1.92 Mn passenger cars were manufactured and around 2.56 Mn of these automobiles were reported to be sold across the U.S. in the year 2020. Gloss meters are used in a wide range of applications during the process of making the interiors of the vehicles such as attractive dashboards, mirror finish, internal wood finish, and others.
Hence, accelerating sales of automotive vehicles such as passenger cars, luxury cars, yachts, and sports cars among others are projected to propel the demand for gloss meters in the North America market.
As per FMI, Asia Pacific excluding Japan is anticipated to account for a significant share in the global gloss meters market during the forecast period 2022-2032.
In the furniture sector, the measurement of surface gloss or brightness of different laminations, paints, and coatings is of acute importance as a small deviation in the gloss level of furniture items can result in a reduction of customer wiliness to purchase the products. Hence, rapidly expanding furniture industry and growing adoption of wooden products such as tables, cabinets, and others has led to a significant rise in demand for gloss meters.
Thus, leading players in the market are aiming at launching novel products with innovative technologies and features. For instance, in 2018, 3nh, a Chinese manufacturer of precision instruments for measurement announced launching three new gloss meters – YG268 triple angle gloss meter, YG60 high accuracy gloss meter, and YG60S economic gloss meter. A multiplicity of such new products launches are estimated to facilitate the sales of gloss meters in the Asia Pacific excluding Japan market.
