Gas Sensor Market Scale Worth $3,436.2 Million By 2025

San Francisco, 23 Oct 2018: The global gas sensor market is anticipated to reach USD 3,436.2 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Factors such as increased demand for smart & wireless gas sensors and regulatory initiatives in developed markets of North America and Europe have propelled the adoption of gas sensors.

A gas sensor is a device that detects the presence of gases in a particular area and is often integrated into a safety system. These gas sensors consume low power and can be integrated into portable handheld devices, which further creates opportunities for market growth.Technological developments, such as enhancement of MEMS sensors, and need for hydrogen detection on account of its use as a fuel are also expected to contribute to industry growth.

The introduction of embedded electronics, coupled with sophisticated firmware and improved manufacturing techniques, has enabled developments in gas detection technologies. Numerous sensors are used to monitor emission levels and air quality in the automotive industry. Moreover, the accelerated use of wireless sensor technologies and semiconductor-based sensors is expected to further drive market growth.

The infrared technology segment is anticipated to witness substantial growth as it enables the measurement of a wide variety of gases including methane, carbon dioxide, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) such as acetylene, benzene, and butane. Moreover,the increased adoption of gas sensors can be attributed to the high need for safety in the industrial sector. This is further creating opportunities for market growth.

Further Key findings from the study suggest:

• Carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors accounted for 26.8% of the overall market share in 2012. However, reducing carbon emissions, and the use of alternatives such as shale gas for power generation are expected to limit the CO2 sensors market from reaching its full potential. Nitrogen oxide (NOx) sensors are expected to be the fastest growing product segment, with an estimated CAGR of 6.2% from 2014 to 2020. NOx sensors cost significantly higher as compared to other products, and are mainly used for exhaust gas emission detection in automotives.
• Electrochemical technology accounted for 19.3% of the market in 2012, and is expected to dominate global demand over the next six years. Sensors employing electrochemical gas sensing technology are capable of detecting multiple gases; in addition, they are reliable and cost effective in nature. Infrared gas sensing technology is expected to register the fastest growth of 5.7% from 2014 to 2020. It helps measure volatile organic compounds (VOC), methane, carbon dioxide, etc., and the absence of a chemical reaction ensures longer life span.
• Gas sensors employed for industrial purposes accounted for around 20% of the overall market in 2012, and are further expected to remain the largest market segment over the forecast period. The medical segment is also estimated to be a high growth avenue, and involves monitoring oxygen concentration in incubators as well as ventilators. It is expected to grow faster than the global average, at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2014 to 2020.
• Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest regional market by 2020, spurred by enhancements in sensor technology, and growing demand for handheld sensors and devices. It is also estimated to be the fastest growing region, at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2014 to 2020. Gas sensors are largely used in the automotive sector; therefore, growing automotive production and demand is expected to give impetus to the industry.
• Major industry participants follow development and innovation led strategies to strengthen their foothold in the ecosystem. R&D activities for boosting technological enhancement are also implemented to drive competitive advantage. Companies operating in the market include Honeywell-owned City Technology Ltd., Membrapor AG, Alphasense, Figaro Engineering, and Dynament Ltd. among others.
