Test and measurement has long left the confines of a tight niche and quietly entered the broader picture. What was once an invisible backend function that few knew about is now a rapidly growing force behind sectors like manufacturing, transportation, semiconductors, and connectivity — as well as more specialized fields like aerospace, defense, 6G, satellite systems, and life sciences. Just last week, Persistence Market Research projected that the global test and measurement equipment market will hit a whopping $52.1 billion by 2032, up from $37.2 billion in 2025.
Test and measurement companies are soaring on the AI ambition of their bigger tech partners. A recent example is the CoreWeave-Meta infra deal by which CoreWeave will supply computing power to Meta through Dec, 2031. In a similar deal, AMD signed what is also a multi-year contract to provide AI chips to OpenAI. Earlier, Nvidia locked in a massive deal with OpenAI pledging to invest up to $100 billion in the AI company. These are but a few of the recent events that underline the importance of test and measurement. The growing investments are intensifying demand for rigorous infrastructure validation systems, prompting companies in the test and measurement space to up their game and develop new test solutions tuned for AI workloads.
Parallel to that, as mobile and connectivity continue to expand under the auspices of 5G, IoT, cloud, and AI-led services, a huge surge in demand for robust and reliable testing solutions is being felt across telecom and network. It is becoming increasingly clear that test and measurement companies will enable these industries in more profound ways in the days to come.
