Ceilometer Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and F

Posted by surendra choudhary on March 24th, 2020

Key players in the ceilometer market include Oceanit Laboratories, Inc., MTECH Systems Pvt Ltd, Mesotech International, Inc., All Weather, Inc., G. Lufft Mess- und Regeltechnik GmbH, Biral, Vaisala, Eliasson Engineering, Halo-Photonoics, SGS Weather ,HMEI, Geonor and so on. These companies are extensively working on improving the ceilometer to make it faster, to have extensive self-diagnostics ability, so that in case of a malfunction, the user can identify the failed module. Apart from the ceilometers wide use in meteorology and aviation, the ceilometer manufacturers are looking to improve its design to detect the diverse aerosols in the atmosphere in order to keep an eye on environmental changes.

Ceilometer is a tool that uses laser beam or light source to measure the distance of a cloud base or cloud ceiling with respect to ground. Ceilometer is also used to measure aerosol concentration present in the atmosphere. Cloud ceiling is the lowest visible portion of the cloud and an aerosol is a non-homogenous, non-crystalline substance consisting of large molecules of the solid particles or liquid droplets in air or another gas. Examples of aerosol includes fog, dust, forest exudates, geyser steam, air pollutants and smoke. A ceilometer consist of a projector, a recorder and a detector. To measure the cloud base height, the projector of a ceilometer emits laser or light signals into the sky. The reflected signals from the cloud is being detected by the detector of the ceilometer that is placed near to the ceilometer projectors.

The recorder of the ceilometer is being calibrated in such a way that it directly shows the cloud height. Ceilometer is used to measure cloud layers or multiple cloud layers. Ceilometer either uses triangulation method or time travel method to calculate the cloud base distance. Ceilometers are also used for variety of purpose including the structure and composition of the atmosphere, gas presence and concentration in the atmosphere, wind speeds and to detect wind currents. Furthermore, ceilometers can be installed at environmentally hazard places to alert air traffic control rooms about any aerosol such volcanic ash, fogs and thus allows aircrafts to reroute their directions.  Laser ceilometer are set up at commercial airport in New Zealand to map clouds of volcanic ash and alert pilot to avoid damage to aircraft. Ceilometer has a capability of measuring cloud base as high as 3000ft.

Ceilometer plays pivotal role in meteorology department that can help to alert citizens and the government about any possible natural disaster occurrence. Ceilometer are mostly used in meteorology and aviation industry. The other factors which could drive the ceilometer market includes the rising use of ceilometer in the renewable energy fields due to its ability to detect changes in wind conditions. However, there are certain hazards associated with the ceilometer, ceilometer uses visible light to measure the cloud base can sometimes be fatal to birds, as they disoriented by the light beams and can collapse. The use of optical instruments such as binoculars near ceilometers could damage one’s eye as these lenses used in binoculars could concentrate the invisible lasers emitting from laser ceilometers.

Ceilometer market can be bifurcated on the basis of type, end-user and geographic regions. By type, Ceilometer market can be segmented as laser-drum ceilometer and optical ceilometer. Laser Ceilometer is a part of LiDAR system, this system use laser beam for any obstruction detection or measuring the distance of obstruction. By end-user, ceilometer market can be segmented as aviation, meteorology, environment monitoring and others.

Furthermore, ceilometer market can also be segmented according to region into North America, Europe, Middle East & Africa(ME&A),Asia Pacific and South America. North America is expected to dominate the ceilometer market amongst other regions on account of highest growth in aviation industry and also due to the use of ceilometers in detecting the aerosols. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest growing in ceilometer market.
