Tide Gauge Market - Historic Data (2019-2024), Global Trends 2025, Growth Forecasts 2037
Tide Gauge Market in 2025 is assessed at USD 4.83 billion. The global market size was valued at over USD 4.58 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of around 6.9%, surpassing USD 10.9 billion revenue by 2037. Asia Pacific is projected to garner USD 3.71 billion by 2037, fueled by maritime expansion and coastal infrastructure in China and India.
The growth of the market is set to be dominated by the growth in seawater levels owing to climate change. Globally, there has been a rise in sea level by about 3.4 ± 0.3 mm over the last 30 years from 1993 to 2022. Between 1993 and 2002 and 2013 and 2022, the rate of rise doubled, and between January 2021 and August 2022, the sea level increased by nearly 5 mm. Hence, the use of tide gauges is surging. Understanding the sea level allows scientists to calculate whether the seas are increasing or decreasing over time, further analyzing potential damage, especially to coastal areas.
Additionally, there has been growing innovation in the development of the tide gauge. The tide gauge which was recently in use was difficult to install and maintain since it was required to be near water. As an alternative, the Satellite Tide Gauge is a sensor that may be installed on a structure or another piece of equipment that could measure sea levels from a distance. The technology depends on the reflection of radio waves off of the ocean's surface. It makes use of broadcasts from Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), which include those from GPS, Galileo, and related satellites. Therefore, the growth of the market demand is anticipated to rise.
