The global Mass Flow Controller Market size is anticipated to reach USD 3.50 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 13.3% from 2024 to 2030. The increasing consumption of packaged foods and beverages due to the rising working-class population is driving the demand for mass flow controllers (MFCs). According to the International Trade Center (ITC), the global beverage imports in 2022 increased by 22% from 2018 due to increased demand for beverages worldwide. Mass flow controllers are widely employed in the food and beverage industry to accurately measure and regulate the flow of liquids and gases. These controllers are pivotal in ensuring consistency and quality in food and beverage production processes. They are primarily used to regulate the flow of gases, such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, and are used for packaging, bottling, and other processes. Additionally, they are utilized to measure the flow of liquids such as water and flavorings in beverage production. By precisely controlling the flow of these substances, mass flow controllers ensure that food and beverages are produced according to precise specifications, resulting in consistent taste, texture, and quality.
The
COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the mass flow controller market. The
widespread disruption to global supply chains and manufacturing operations
affected the demand for mass flow controllers. Many manufacturers have had to
scale back production or temporarily shut down their operations, leading to a
decrease in demand for mass flow controllers in specific industries. However,
the pandemic has also created new opportunities for using mass flow controllers
in medical applications, such as ventilators and oxygen concentrators. Overall,
the market had experienced a period of uncertainty but recovered as the world
adjusted to the new normal and demand for mass flow controllers continued to
grow.
Furthermore,
the rising need for clean energy is driving the market. MFCs are crucial in the
development and optimization of fuel cells. Fuel cells are electrochemical
devices that convert chemical energy directly into electrical energy, and they
are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional power generation
methods. In a typical fuel cell system, gases such as hydrogen and oxygen (or
air) are supplied to the electrodes, and MFCs ensure a carefully controlled and
balanced supply. This precision is essential for optimizing the electrochemical
reactions that occur within the fuel cell.

summary: Mass Flow Controller Market Report
Mass
Flow Controller Market Report Highlights
- Based on
type, the thermal mass flow controller segment accounted for the highest
revenue share of 37.7% in 2023. This can be attributed to the increase in
the number of laboratory studies. The coriolis mass flow controller
segment is expected to witness the fastest growth, led by its emerging
need in chemical processing.
- Based on flow
element, the gas segment dominated the market in 2023 and is expected to
grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. It can be attributed
to its uses in environmental monitoring.
- Based on the
flow rate, the medium flow is expected to grow significantly over the
forecast period, owing to the increasing demand in gas blending
applications.
- Based on
end-user, the semiconductor segment held the largest share of the market
in 2023. Mass flow controllers are increasingly adopted in the
semiconductor industry due to the growing importance of precise gas flow
control in semiconductor fabrication processes.
