Handheld Spectrum Analyzer Market Trends:

A spectrum or signal analyzer measures the magnitude of an input signal versus frequency within the full frequency range of the instrument. The primary use is to measure the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. It is used for multiple applications like voice and data communications; video broadcast distributed via satellite and digital video; radar, like radar transmitter test analysis; spectrum management and interference hunting; and Wireless local area network (WLAN) testing. A form of spectrum analyzer, handheld spectrum analyzers are is useful for any applications where the spectrum analyzer needs to be taken outside to make measurements or simply carried while in use. It is portable, small, and lightweight in nature and consumes low power. These attributes make it accessible for several applications thereby showing promising market growth. On the downside, handheld analyzers usually offer a limited capability relative to larger systems which might challenge the expansion of the market.

By type, real-time analyzers are relatively newer models that are becoming widely popular holds a significant market share. The real-time models are more advanced in nature and adopted by almost all manufacturers. The market share of swept-tuned and vector signal analyzers is gradually falling due to several cons. By end-user industry, IT and telecommunication generate the highest growth. Automotive, and semiconductors and electronics also hold a significant share. The healthcare industry is a rising sector in the market. Geographically, North America has recorded the largest market share. While the Asia-Pacific region is expected to generate the highest growth rate in the forecast period.

Handheld Spectrum Analyzer Market Growth Factors:

• Technological advancement

Wireless data along with the expansion of technologies such as LTE, 3G, and 4G wireless networks is augmenting the demand for these analyzers. The applications of the analyzers in several industries fuel its market growth. They are used to detect phase noise, signal levels, distortions, frequency, and spectral masks.

• Extensive R&D

Far-reaching research and development (R&D) activities in the field of information technology (IT) and telecommunications will drive up market growth. Hence, working on principle, design, advantages, and application of spectrum analyzer, will provide an edge to the market players. The newer models are incorporated with LED screens, antennas, high-frequency detectors, long battery life, lightweight, and lower uncertainty level.

Handheld Spectrum Analyzer Market Restraints:

• Growing second-hand market

One of the major cons of a spectrum analyzer is the cost-effectiveness with maximum features. This has led to the creation of a second-hand market. The used spectrums are refurbished and often come at a lower cost, contracting the market for first-hand products. These used analyzers are readily available on online platforms. Spectrum analyzer manufactures have also started selling second-hand devices through online and offline platforms, intending to grow. The growth of the cast-off market may act to bring a challenge to the market growth.
