Data logger market seen reaching $11.99 billion by 2030

The Business Research Company says the global data logger market is on track to grow from $9.06 billion in 2025 to $11.99 billion by 2030, driven by wider use in predictive maintenance, cloud connectivity and real-time monitoring. North America led the market in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region. Why it matters: - Data loggers are becoming more central to industries that need continuous monitoring, compliance and precise measurement. - The market’s growth points to broader adoption in manufacturing, research, energy and biotech. - A larger market also suggests more demand for connected, wireless and portable monitoring tools. What happened: - The Business Research Company released a 2026 report on the global data logger market. - The report estimates the market will rise from $9.06 billion in 2025 to $9.58 billion in 2026. - The report forecasts the market will reach $11.99 billion by 2030. - The forecast implies a 5.8% compound annual growth rate from 2026 to 2030. - The report says the historical period reflected a 5.7% CAGR, driven by early laboratory adoption, environmental compliance testing, industrial automation, temperature and humidity monitoring, and automotive testing. The details: - A data logger is an electronic instrument that automatically records data over time or by location. - Data loggers can use built-in sensors or external sensors. - Common uses include environmental monitoring, healthcare data tracking and scientific experiments. - The report links future growth to predictive maintenance, cloud-connected data loggers, real-time asset monitoring, renewable energy systems and precision monitoring in biotechnology. - Emerging trends include remote environmental monitoring, wireless and multi-channel logging, portable field devices, advanced sensors and continuous industrial monitoring. - The report says the growing need for data collection and monitoring across sectors is a key market driver. - In June 2023, the UK Parliament reported that universities were unlikely to supply more than 10,000 data scientists a year, while about 178,000 data specialist roles were unfilled. - The report cites that staffing gap as one reason demand for data expertise is rising. - A free sample of the report is available here . - The full report is available here . Between the lines: - The forecast suggests data loggers are shifting from niche instrumentation to broader infrastructure for automated monitoring. - Growth in cloud-connected and wireless devices signals stronger demand for remote visibility and lower-touch operations. - North America led the market in 2025, but Asia-Pacific is projected to grow fastest, which points to expanding industrial and research demand in that region. What’s next: - The report expects adoption to keep rising as industries expand real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. - The company also highlights increased use of remote environmental monitoring and advanced sensor integration over the forecast period. - The Business Research Company says its 2026 reports now include TAM analysis, company scoring matrices, Excel dashboards and updated graphics and tables. - The company also says its Global Market Model provides updated forecasts for decision-making. The bottom line: - Data loggers are moving deeper into mainstream industrial and scientific use, and the market outlook remains steady through 2030.
