Digital Oscilloscope Market Consumption and Revenue Forecast by Regions 2025


21st January 2019 - Global digital oscilloscopes Market demand is expected to witness a steady growth on account of increasing reforms in the electronic devices industry. Over the decades analog based oscilloscopes were the primary devices used to measure voltage signals. The need for replacing these analog systems with a digital device is expected to drive overall demand in near future. These devices help in the measurement of constantly varying signal voltage usually on a two dimensional graph.

They store the signals digitally in the form of binary numbers. Digital oscilloscopes provide better accuracy, display and storage on account of which they are widely preferred over analog devices. The world is turning towards being digital. Analog devices have been losing their market share on account of better low cost products. This upgradation need from analog to digital is driving product demand over the forecast period. Analog based oscilloscopes were primarily made up of cathode ray tubes which consumed space making the device look bulky.


Digital based coupled with LCD display make them portable and handy. They provide better operational features including advanced trigger and measurement. Such attractive features coupled with signficiant cost reduction are expected to drive global market growth in the future. Substitute’s availability is expected to hamper the overall industry demand in the coming years. Analog devices have been widely used for years and therefore customers are more comfortable using them.

Such factor is expected to restrain the global industry growth. There has been significant development in developing new products for measuring electrical signals. These technological advancements are expected to outdate digital oscilloscopes over the forecast period. PC based oscillometer has shown its presence in the global market although they do not offer much threat owing to their low popularity. These digital devices find major applications in electronic device manufacturing. South East Asia is a lucrative market on account of high concentration of chip making and electronic device manufacturing.

The devices are vastly used in power grid, broadcasting industry and automotive testing. They also find applications in movie making Imagineering and robotic design. Oscilloscopes are used to check the efficiency of DVDs and disk drives.

Characteristics of USB, Ethernet and Bluetooth devices are studied using such oscillometers. Another major application is in the field of research and educational purposes.

Titanium Forging Market Share, Growth, Outlook to 2025


11th January 2019 - The global titanium forging market is segmented on the basis of product types, application and geography. Titanium has the extraordinary combination of great strength and light weight is resistant to corrosion when exposed to sea water and chlorine, and an important part of business. Forgings are usually produced at lower die temperatures with less costly and less complex conventional tooling. The production rates of conventional titanium forgings are typically much higher than for iso-thermal forgings resulting in a less costly part with shorter lead times. When the temperatures of both the forging dies and the titanium raw material are elevated to the same very high level, we term this condition as “iso-thermal”. The iso-thermal condition, with close tolerance, super alloy tooling, special lubricants and closely controlled forging speeds and pressures, combine to produce net and near-net configurations that require little to no machining.


Titanium alloys are selected for applications requiring high strength, low weight, high operating temperature or high corrosion resistance. Specific strength is high compared with steel. Densities are approximately 55% those of steel and 60% greater than aluminium alloys. The properties and cost of titanium alloys make them the choice in applications where a premium can be justified for high performance such as aerospace, chemical processing and prosthetic devices.

Titanium and titanium alloys must be protected from contamination by oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon during heating for forging. This is most effectively done by coating the forging slugs in a liquid glaze or glass which is allowed to dry before heating for forging. The coating fuses at between 500 and 600°C forming a viscous surface which protects the material from contamination. The proprietary liquid glass coatings have lubricating properties which assist metal flow during forging. Some forgers have found that the addition of liquid based graphite to the die surface further improves die life and metal flow.

On the basis of product types, the titanium forging market is segmented into impression die, open die, rolled ring and so on. On the basis of application, the titanium forging market is segmented into automotive, non-automotive and so on.

On the basis of geography, the titanium forging market is segmented into North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America and Middle East & Africa. The emerging markets in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa are expected to register robust growth during the forecast period. This would majorly be attributed to increasing investments by the key players. The key players of titanium forging market are RTI, TIMET, Kobelco, ATI, Bharat Forge, NSSMC, ThyssenKrupp, Aichi Steel, KITZ, Schuler, Alcoa, and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal.
