Gas Sensors Market Forecasts to 2030 - Global Analysis By Product (Medical Equipment, HVAC Systems and Other Products), Output Type, Gas Type, Technology, Connectivity, End User and By Geography

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Gas Sensors Market is accounted for $3.24 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $6.29 billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. Gas sensors are tools that can identify the concentration and presence of a wide range of dangerous gases and vapours, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), humidity, and odours. Gas sensors are used in industrial facilities and industries to find gas leaks and to detect smoke and carbon monoxide in residential buildings. They come in a broad range of sizes, sensitivities, and ranges. They frequently function as a component of a larger embedded system, such as security and hazmat systems, and are typically connected to an interface or audible alarm.

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention study, more than 50 people in Canada die every year from CO poisoning, as per the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Increasing demand in key industries

Due to a rise in demand in key industries, the market for gas sensors is expanding. These important businesses produce a lot of gases that are emitted into the air, including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, and hydrocarbons. The airborne emissions of these gases can have a negative impact on human health. The gases generated by the chemical industry are employed in a broad range of flammable and explosive conditions, at low flashpoints, with lower explosive limits (LEL). However, by consistently using gas monitors and detectors outfitted with gas sensors, the likelihood of mishaps brought on by these gases can be decreased.

Restraint:

Significant price pressure

Although the shipments of these sensors have risen due to their broad use in autos, HVAC systems, air quality monitoring systems, and consumer gadgets, price erosion has drastically slowed the rate of sales growth. The fierce rivalry among the growing number of sensor manufacturers contributes to some of this. Several businesses are focusing their research and development efforts on creating IoT-compatible sensors and cost-effective gas sensor systems using MEMS technology. This puts pressure on prices, particularly in situations where gas sensors are used often. As a result, producers are forced to lower the possible cost of gas sensors.

Opportunity:

Increasing use of cloud computing, big data, and IoT in gas sensors

The IoT generates a significant need for sophisticated connected devices that support M2M and device interoperability in accordance with linked environment requirements. The need for gas sensors with new and improved technologies has arisen as a result of increased demand for IoT, rising mobile device usage, and developments in cloud computing and big data analytics. A network of sensors capable of giving pollution data utilising gas sensors is also being developed by a number of start-ups. For instance, the Google Cloud platform is used by Aclima, a US-based firm that specialises in the design and implementation of environmental sensor networks, to analyse data to measure, map, and comprehend the air quality in different US cities.

Threat:

High energy consumption

The gas sensor industry is growing very quickly. However, various technological problems can impede the market's expansion. One or more of the main issues with gas sensors is their high energy consumption, sensitivity to environmental factors, high cost, and difficulty in manufacture. To avoid issues with accuracy and sensitivity, gas sensors need to be maintained properly and promptly. The intricacy of the production process contributes to the high cost of gas sensors. New gas sensor research and commercialization are extremely difficult and time-consuming processes, which raises the cost as well.

Covid-19 Impact:

COVID-19 epidemic had a considerable effect on gas sensors due to the government's stringent regulations, the pandemic's early phase had a negative impact; the flow of commodities was constrained, and several small- and medium-scale businesses founded for gas technology incurred significant losses that constrained the market. However, there remained a huge market for manufacturing critical care instruments including ventilators, oxygen concentrators, and numerous respiratory system-related devices in the medical and healthcare industries. Additionally, hospitals had a huge need for oxygen sensors in order to efficiently regulate oxygen consumption, which boosted the market during the pandemic.

The air purifiers/air cleaners segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The Air Purifiers/Air Cleaners segment is experiencing significant growth in the gas sensor market. This rise is driven by increasing awareness of indoor air quality and its impact on health, particularly in urban areas with high pollution levels. Technological advancements have enhanced the efficiency and affordability of air purifiers, further boosting demand. Additionally, stricter government regulations on air quality standards are compelling both residential and commercial sectors to adopt air purification solutions.

The electrochemical gas sensors segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The Electrochemical Gas Sensors segment is experiencing notable growth in the gas sensors market due to increasing demand for air quality monitoring and industrial safety applications. These sensors are valued for their high sensitivity and specificity to various gases, such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide, making them essential in both residential and industrial settings. Advancements in miniaturization and the integration of IoT technologies are further boosting their adoption. Additionally, stringent environmental regulations and the need for reliable real-time monitoring systems are driving market expansion. This growth is also supported by the rising awareness of the health impacts associated with air pollution.

Region with largest share:

The North American gas sensor market is experiencing significant growth, driven by stringent environmental regulations and increasing industrial safety standards. Advancements in sensor technology, including improved accuracy and miniaturization, are further fueling demand. The rise of smart cities and the growing adoption of IoT devices in various sectors also contribute to market expansion. Additionally, heightened awareness of air quality issues and health concerns, particularly in urban areas, is spurring investment in gas detection and monitoring systems. The robust presence of major market players and continuous R&D efforts support the region's leading position in the global gas sensors market.

Region with highest CAGR:

The Asia Pacific region is experiencing significant growth in the gas sensors market due to rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing environmental regulations.
