Electronic weighing scales are precise devices used to determine the weight or mass of an object through electronic sensors and digital readouts. Unlike mechanical scales, they operate using load cells or strain gauges that convert the applied weight into an electrical signal, which is then digitally processed and displayed on a screen. These scales are commonly utilized across industries, retail environments, laboratories, and households due to their accuracy, user-friendliness, and rapid results.
The primary types of electronic weighing scales include tabletop scales, platform scales, precision scales, pocket scales, and other variants. A tabletop scale is a small, portable unit designed to weigh moderately heavy items and is frequently used in retail, food service, and household applications. Electronic weighing scales are employed in a wide range of applications, such as electronic industrial counting scales, electronic retail printer scales, and electronic weighing balances. These devices serve end users across various sectors, including veterinary, scientific or laboratory, jewelry, food and beverage, health and fitness, education or research, and more.

This electronic weighing scales market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The electronic weighing scales market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.66 billion in 2024 to $6.03 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth observed during the historic period can be attributed to the rise in industrial automation, expansion of the retail and logistics sectors, increased adoption of weighing solutions in laboratories, the growth of the food and beverage industry, and a heightened demand for accurate weight measurement.
The electronic weighing scales market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.72 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.4%. The growth projected for the forecast period is expected to be driven by the expansion of the e-commerce sector, wider adoption of digital technologies, growing demand in healthcare applications, continued growth of manufacturing industries, and regulatory initiatives supporting accuracy standards. Key trends anticipated during this period include the integration of IoT and connectivity capabilities, the emergence of portable and compact weighing devices, cloud-enabled data storage, multifunctional weighing systems, and the application of AI and machine learning for predictive maintenance and performance optimization.
The rise in industrial automation is anticipated to drive the growth of the electronic weighing scales market in the coming years. Industrial automation involves the use of control systems such as computers, robotics, and advanced technologies to operate industrial processes and machinery with minimal human involvement. This trend is largely fueled by the need to increase efficiency, as automation reduces human errors, streamlines operations, and improves the speed and consistency of production, ultimately enhancing productivity and lowering operational costs for businesses. Electronic weighing scales play a critical role in automated environments by delivering accurate, real-time weight measurements that support efficiency, consistency, and precision in manufacturing and quality control processes. For example, in September 2023, the Industrial Robots Statistics 2023 report from the International Federation of Robotics noted that industrial robot installations in Asia reached 404,578 units in 2022, marking a 5% increase from the 385,143 units installed in 2021. As a result, the rise in industrial automation is contributing to the growth of the electronic weighing scales market.
Key players in the electronic weighing scales market are forming strategic partnerships to foster the development of innovative weighing technologies. These partnerships are enhancing companies' abilities to diversify their product offerings, increase market penetration, and meet the growing demand for sophisticated, tech-driven weighing solutions. For instance, in June 2022, Woolworths Group Limited, an Australian supermarket chain, collaborated with Tiliter Pty Ltd., an AI technology company also based in Australia, to introduce artificial intelligence-powered weighing scales. This collaboration aims to streamline the process of buying fresh produce by using Tiliter's smart scales, which automatically detect and weigh items. The system is designed to shorten checkout times, improve customer convenience, reduce human error, enhance operational efficiency, and deliver a more user-friendly and seamless shopping experience.
In April 2023, Rice Lake Weighing Systems, a U.S.-based manufacturer of weighing equipment, acquired Healthweigh Scales from Shekel Scales Ltd. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen Rice Lake's presence in the healthcare sector by combining its advanced weighing technologies with Healthweigh's specialized healthcare solutions. These include applications for medical facilities, clinics, hospitals, and fitness centers. Shekel Scales Ltd., based in Israel, specializes in the production of electronic weighing systems.
