Gas Detectors Market

Gas Detectors Market Analysis Report (2021 - 2026)

The Global Gas Detectors Market was valued at 2598.3 Million US$ in 2021 and is projected to succeed in 3607.6 Million US$ by 2026, at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period. 

The gas detector is the equipment used mostly as a section of the safety system to detect the presence and leak of several gases in a given area. This device is linked to an impact system to automatically pack up the method and sound an alarm to operators during the gas leak for vacating the place. Various sensors are utilized in gas detectors like ultrasonic sensors, infrared sensors, semiconductor sensors and electrochemical gas sensors. These detectors find applications in refineries, industrial plants, automobiles, wastewater treatment facilities and household activities. Portable devices are battery-operated devices usually worn on a belt or harness to watch the environment around and send warnings using audio or visual signals. Fixed gas detectors are typically mounted in a plant area or household sector for detecting one or more gases. A tripping system is often installed in the emergency system.

Recent Developments:

• In 2019, Teledyne Technologies Inc. completed the acquisition of 3M’s gas and flame detection business for around USD 230 million. Simtronics, Gas Measurement Instruments, Oldham, Detcon, and select Scott Safety Products are a part of this gas and flame detection business of 3M.
• Gas Measurement Instruments (GMI) in 2019 announced the improvements in their PS200 multi-gas detection instrument, which now includes some exciting features like collecting all relevant calibration and session information for over six months, and the new quick-press field calibration mode that can simplify the current field calibration method.

Drivers:

The global gas detector market is primarily driven by the adoption in the oil & gas industry around the world. The increase in oil & gas offshore and onshore applications have resulted in the need for efficient gas detectors, which is supplementing this market demand. In addition, with the significant number of infrastructural development projects and continuously catapulting production of vehicles, the need for iron and steel is increasing at a notable rate. This is often resulting in a growth of the mining industry across the world. Now, the workers working within the mining sector are highly susceptible to the hazards because of gas leakage, which is aiding to the global gas detector market growth.

Restraints:

The main challenge within the gas detector manufacturing is that the devices sometimes fail to detect the harmful gases, and more importantly, differentiate between hazardous and non-hazardous gases which results in ambiguity within the operations and intermittent false signals. Moreover, the vendors are alleviating this challenge by investing in new technologies and developing better sensors.
