Digital Scent Technology Market Size (2022 - 2027)

The global digital scent technology market was valued at $21.10 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $34.57 million in 2026, registering a CAGR of 10.24%, over the projection period 2022 - 2027.

Digital Scent technology includes end products such as mobile phones, scented screens, music and video games, explosives detectors, quality control products and medical diagnostic products, among others. It gives the user the advantage of smelling the product before purchasing it online. For example, a Californian company Digiscents Inc. has created a small device called iSmell, which has its controller and can be connected via a personal computer via serial ports.

Developments in virtual reality increase the expansion of the market for digital scent technology. Virtual reality improves the characteristics of computers by introducing new concepts, such as the smell of Digi, which is a combination of both hardware and software. The hardware part generates the odor, and the software part makes it possible to create specific signals for distinct scents.

Digital scent technology can also be implemented in retail warehouses to prepare workers to deal with the consequences of machine failure. However, high initial costs and lack of awareness are supposed to hamper market growth. The high price of the electronic nose and the time lags between successive olfactory flavors are some constraints facing the market for digital scent technology.

Market Growth and Trends

The healthcare sector is expected to experience a substantial increase in the global digital scent market due to the increasing implementation of electronic nose applications for clinical diagnosis. An electronic nose is capable of providing useful information through the analysis of volatile organic compounds in bodily fluids, such as exhaled breath, urine and blood, which could lead to the adoption of this technology in the healthcare industry.
In the health sector, digital scent technology is used in aromatherapy to treat certain diseases using different types of odors. Aromatherapy also helps diagnose brain disorders. The health care industry will experience the highest growth rate due to the increased adoption of electronic nose synthesizers and odors to detect cancer. However, the high cost of these devices could hamper the adoption rate in the healthcare industry.

Market Drivers and Restraints

Several factors, such as the application of the electronic nose in the evaluation of the quality of raw materials in the food industry and clinical diagnostics, are driving the growth of the global digital scent technology market. The unpredictability of airflow and chemicals can harm human health, and these are major challenges for companies operating in the market.

The digital scent technology used in defense and clinical diagnostics is relatively expensive and therefore hinders future market expansion. The unpredictability of airflow is another crucial factor that impedes the transmission of digital odors and thus restricts their use. The high cost of the electronic nose and the time between flavors of successive smells are some limitations in the global market for digital scent technology.

Market Segmentation

The global market for digital scent technology can be segmented and sub-segmented into the following categories:

Digital Scent Technology Market - By Type

Scent Synthesizers
Electronic Noses

The electronic nose or e-nose is a device that analyzes the chemical content of a specific odor and identifies it. The perfume synthesizer is a computing device that is connected to a USB port or a serial port through which scent is emitted every time a user visits the website in question or opens their email account. In terms of type, the electronic nose market segment is expected to have a substantial share of the market due to its intensive use in the defense and healthcare sectors.

Digital Scent Technology Market - By Application

Mobile Phones
Music and Video Games
Quality Control Products
Odor Screens
Medical Diagnostic Products
Others

Medical diagnostic products accounted for the largest market share in 2014 due to increased awareness of the early detection of disease by these products. These products are widely used in the health sector. The explosives detector market is expected to record the highest growth rate between 2015 and 2020. Explosives detectors are commonly used in military, defense and security applications. The food and beverage industry uses quality control products to assess raw materials.

Digital Scent Technology Market - End-User

Healthcare
Entertainment
Food and Beverage
Education
