Wood Moisture Meters Market Analysis

Probe Type (Pin, Pinless, Combination)

The pin segment in the wood moisture meters market is expected to generate the highest revenue share of about 50% during the forecast period. The benefit of using pin-type moisture meters with insulated contact pins is that they offer the best way to pinpoint the exact location of moisture in subfloors or in lumber that is being kiln-dried, even though pin-less meters do not require the insertion of pins into the wood (using capacitance). The reason for this is that the pins can identify the amount of moisture at the uninsulated tips of the pins. The pins are driven into the floor and even into the subfloor at varying depths to read the moisture levels at each unique penetration level. The only devices that can tell exactly how much moisture is within a board or a piece of wood are pin-type meters. By utilizing insulated pins, the wood fiber is only exposed to the uncoated tips, resulting in more precise measurements of the moisture content at different penetration levels.

End User Industry (Construction, Furniture, Paper & Pulp)

The construction segment in the wood moisture meters market is projected to generate the highest revenue share of about 50% in the coming years. This growth of the segment is poised to be dominated by the rising urban population. At present, more than fifty percent of the global population dwells in towns and cities; by 2030, that number is projected to grow to over 5 billion. Also, the standard of living of people in urban regions is improving which is further estimated to boost the demand for aesthetic wood housing which is also projected to drive the market demand for wood moisture meters.
