A mass flow controller (MFC) measures and controls the flow of liquids and gases. A mass flow controller is operated by electric signals, and it is designed to monitor and calibrate the flow rate of media according to a predetermined flow rate.
Visionary leaders receive high scores for most evaluation criteria. They have a strong service portfolio, a very strong market presence, and have strong business strategies. For the mass flow controller market, visionary leaders are the players who provide their mass flow controllers compatible with different connectivity technologies (i.e., Fieldbus, RS-485, Modbus), with a capability of measuring the low, medium, and high flow rates; applications; and industries served.
Dynamic differentiators are well-established players with effective business strategies. However, they have a weak product portfolio. They generally focus on a specific type of technology related to the product.
The need for innovative technologies to modernize mass flow controller offerings has resulted in innovations in the mass flow controller market. Innovators demonstrate substantial product innovations compared with their competitors. These players have a wide product portfolio. However, they do not have effective growth strategies for their overall business.
Emerging players offer niche products and have gradually started gaining position in the market. They lack effective business strategies, unlike other established players. These players are mostly the new entrants in the market and require more time to get significant traction in the market.
