Government investments in wastewater treatment plants are significant in the North American and European regions. As a result, the water and wastewater segment accounted for a share of around 24.0% of the total market and is anticipated to register a CAGR exceeding 6.0% from 2021 to 2028.

Europe dominated the flow meter market and accounted for over 35% of the global revenue share in 2020, followed by North America. In Europe, the adoption of flow meters is high in the power generation segment, contributing to the regional market growth. The demand for magnetic, ultrasonic, and Coriolis flow meters for oil and gas management is expected to increase in the region. Europe is home to numerous manufacturers and providers of flow rate measurement products and solutions, such as Endress+Hausar AG, Krohne Messtechnik GmbH, and ABB Ltd. Therefore, Europe accounted for the largest market share in 2020, and this trend is expected to continue through the forecast period.

Some of the prominent market players in North America include General Electric; Emerson Electric Corporation; and Honeywell International Inc.; therefore, the region holds a significant market share in terms of revenue. APAC is anticipated to witness a substantial CAGR exceeding 7.0% from 2021 to 2028. The market in India and China is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to continuous developments in the water and wastewater management sector.
