The leakage current clamp meter market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.27% over the forecast period, increasing from US$1.751 billion in 2025 to US$2.219 billion by 2030.

The leakage current clamp meter market is experiencing notable growth driven by several factors such as increasing demand for electrical safety, stringent regulations, growing adoption of renewable energy sources, rising complexity in electrical systems applications, and rising industrial applications.
The renewable energy sector growth has a significant boost to the demand for the leakage current clamp meter. According to the International Energy Agency, annual renewable capacity additions are expected to rise from 666 GW in 2024 to almost 935 GW in 2030.
Further, the expansion of the electricity supplies in the developing regions of the world, such as Africa, has a significant boost to the growth of the leakage current clamp meter market. In January 2025, the World Bank Group (WBG) and the African Development Bank (AfDB) announced their commitment to deliver electricity to 300 million Africans by 2030.
The automotive industry is increasingly focused on ensuring safety in vehicles. Leakage current meters play a crucial role in detecting potentially hazardous leakage currents that can lead to electrical failures or fires. This is propelling the demand for measurement tools like leakage current clamp meters. The growth of electric vehicles increases the necessity for testing and monitoring of electrical systems, including charging stations. Leakage current meters play a crucial role in expanding the electrical vehicle infrastructure. Moreover, the increased demand for automobiles will boost the usage of leakage current clamp meters and their market growth. According to the OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers), in 2023 increased by 10% from the previous, the total number of vehicles produced in year. The total number of vehicles produced was 93,546,599, comprising 67,133,570 cars and 26,413,029 commercial vehicles.
Regulatory and government bodies around the world have been busy enhancing safety standards to minimize electric hazards. Leakage current measurement helps, on a very strong note, in ascertaining whether or not a certain electrical connection is safe to use. Currently, the clamour for clamp meters has increased significantly because of the large requirement for such meters that can accurately detect and subsequently measure leakage currents in industrial domains like construction and manufacturing, apart from energy-oriented industries and places.
Moreover, the development of renewable energy installations, such as solar and wind power, has created new markets in the area of leakage-current clamp meters. Hence, there is a demand for precise observation of the electric current in renewable energy systems. This is because efficient and safety-conscious use of various renewable energy installations can be ensured by using the clamp meter.
