Global Handheld Laser Distance Meter Sensor Market Drivers

Growing demand for handheld laser distance meters in multiple industries:

 Laser distance meters are used extensively in the construction, interior design, mining and electronics industries among others. Laser distance meters send a pulse of laser light to the target and measures the time it takes for the reflection to return. The product finds majority of its applications in the construction and interior design industries, where it is used to measure the floor space and distances for furniture design. In February 2018, Leica Geosystems introduced new laser distance meters which can withstand drop tests from a height of 2 meters, and are suitable for rugged job sites and adverse conditions. New product launches are expected to increase use of handheld laser distance meters in developed as well as developing countries. 

Rapid advancements in the construction industry especially in the developing countries in the Asia Pacific region is expected to boost market demand for handheld laser distance meters. Countries such as India, China, South Africa and other south Asian countries are expected to lead to demand for effective measurement technologies. Significant growth in construction of residential buildings, commercial complex, hospitals and monuments is further expected to boost growth in the market. Handheld Handheld Laser Distance Meters are convenient to use, and make it easy to take measurements without physically using a measuring tape. Technological advancements and investments in the market is also expected to have a positive impact on market growth. 

Along with the construction industry, handheld laser distance meters are also used in the mining industry to measure distances. They can measure widths, heights, areas and diameters of certain objects at any angle. The product finds significant applications in the mining industry, automobile, product and interior designing among others. Multi-functional capabilities of laser distance meters have led companies adopting handheld Handheld Laser Distance Meters. 

Advantages of handheld laser distance meters such as accuracy, convenience and functionality:
