Non-dispersive Infrared Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Type (Portable and Fixed), Gas Type, Component, Application, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Non-dispersive Infrared Market is accounted for $623.6 million in 2023 and is expected to reach $1154.7 million by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology utilizes the principle of infrared absorption to detect gases in a non-destructive manner. In NDIR sensors, a specific wavelength of infrared light is emitted through a sample containing the gas of interest. The gas absorbs some of this light in proportion to its concentration, while the remaining light is measured by a detector. By comparing the intensity of emitted and received light, the sensor can determine the gas concentration. Non-dispersive infrared is valued for its accuracy, stability, and low maintenance requirements, making it widely used in various applications like environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and indoor air quality assessment.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Growing demand for air quality monitoring

Governments worldwide are implementing stricter environmental regulations to monitor and control air pollution levels. This has led to a surge in the adoption of air quality monitoring systems, which often utilize non-dispersive infrared sensors for their precise measurement capabilities. Industries, particularly those involved in manufacturing, petrochemicals, and agriculture, are increasingly investing in air quality monitoring systems to comply with environmental regulations and ensure workplace safety driving the markets growth.

Restraint:

Competition from alternative technologies

Intense competition from alternative technologies may divert resources away from NDIR research and development efforts. Companies may prioritize cost-cutting measures or incremental improvements to existing products rather than investing in innovation to stay ahead of the competition and offer comparable or superior performance at a lower cost, it could lead to a loss of market share for NDIR technology in certain applications. This could result in stagnation in NDIR technology advancements, making it less competitive in the long run.

Opportunity:

Rising demand for carbon dioxide (CO2) sensors

The rising demand for CO2 sensors expands the applications of NDIR technology beyond traditional industrial uses. NDIR-based CO2 sensors are increasingly utilized in building automation systems, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, indoor air quality monitors, and automotive applications. This diversification opens up new market opportunities for non-dispersive infrared sensor manufacturers.

Threat:

Limitations in detection range and sensitivity

In applications where NDIR sensors are used despite their limitations in detection range and sensitivity, customers may experience dissatisfaction with the performance of these sensors. Inaccurate or unreliable measurements can lead to operational issues, compliance concerns, and increased maintenance costs, eroding trust in NDIR technology and prompting users to seek alternative solutions.

Covid-19 Impact

Increased focus on indoor air quality has driven demand for NDIR-based CO2 sensors in ventilation systems. However, supply chain disruptions and economic uncertainties have hindered market growth. Reduced industrial activities during lockdowns also affected sales of NDIR sensors for emissions monitoring. Despite challenges, the pandemic has accelerated innovation in NDIR technology for healthcare applications such as breath analysis.

The portable segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The portable segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, owing to the demand for portable NDIR devices has stimulated innovation in sensor miniaturization, power efficiency, and connectivity features. Manufacturers are developing compact, battery-powered devices with wireless connectivity options, smartphone integration, and real-time data monitoring capabilities, enhancing user experience and market competitiveness.

The signal processing electronics segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The signal processing electronics segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR growth during the forecast period, as signal processing electronics facilitate integration with Internet of Things (IoT) platforms and connectivity features, enabling NDIR sensors to communicate with other devices and systems. This connectivity enables remote monitoring, data logging, and cloud-based analytics, enhancing the value proposition of NDIR technology for smart city initiatives, industrial automation, and environmental management.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the rising awareness of air quality issues and health concerns among the population has driven the demand for NDIR-based air quality monitoring systems in urban areas and industrial clusters. Governments, businesses, and communities are investing in monitoring infrastructure to assess and mitigate air pollution levels.

Region with highest CAGR:

North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to stringent environmental regulations which aimed at monitoring and reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. This drives the demand for NDIR sensors for emissions monitoring in industrial facilities, power plants, and automotive applications to ensure compliance with regulatory standards.
