Wood Moisture Meters Market Outlook:
Wood Moisture Meters Market size was valued at USD 1.54 billion in 2025 and is set to exceed USD 3.82 billion by 2035, expanding at over 9.5% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2026-2035. In the year 2026, the industry size of wood moisture meters is estimated at USD 1.67 billion.
The growth of the market is set to be dominated by growing construction activities. In 2016, there were estimated to be 794,431 built-up areas (BUAs) worldwide. This figure has the potential to climb to approximately 849,406 people by 2022. Furthermore, by 2050, it's projected that 2 million new buildings are set to be built.
