Europe Natural Gas Leakage Detection Systems Market Size - (2023 - 2028):

The Europe Natural Gas Leakage Detection Systems Market was valued at USD 4.38 billion in 2022. The market size is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.7% during the forecast period 2023-2028 to reach USD 8,38 billion by the end of 2028. 

Market Overview:

Gas leak detection is identifying potentially hazardous gas leaks by sensors. Gas leaks are usually considered very dangerous since they can be a potential source of a deadly explosion. These gas leaks are capable of killing vegetation, causing fires and explosions, releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and claiming many lives. Thus, natural gas leakage detection systems have become more of a necessity. The increasing demand for natural gas leakage detection systems in the oil and gas sector for emergency response and leak detection drives the market. The natural gas leakage detection system market has been growing with the increased awareness of gas leakage. Currently, it is one of the fastest and largest growing markets at a global level. 

The majority of these gas leakage detection systems use NDIR or non-dispersive infrared sensors that uses infrared light to detect different wavelengths absorbed by gases. NDIR is the most efficient gas detector in the gas leakage detection system industry. These gas detectors detect flammable, combustible, and poisonous gases at first; these gas detectors alarm when a gas leakage has occurred and then instruct the operators to leave the area. 

Market Drivers:

Ever since people discovered the need for gas leakage detection systems in the market, there has been a rising demand for gas sensors, especially in the pharmaceutical and food and beverage industries and different power plants dealing with radioactive and other hazardous gases. As a result, the need to protect the health of the workers and common citizens has increased owing to the demand for this gas detection equipment in the market. 

The emission of harmful gases like carbon monoxide, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide adversely affects human health and the planet's ozone layer. At times like these, when industrialization is in its peak range, it becomes even more important that these hazardous gases are carefully monitored. Unfortunately, sometimes even after correct measures, these gases get leaked and give rise to dangerous fires claiming lives. Therefore, large-scale industries must use and learn about these natural gas leakage detection systems. 

Market Restraints:

Due to the presence of many domestic and international market players, the competition in the market increase owing to very fewer profit margins. This stands as a major challenge in the Europe natural gas leakage detection systems market. 

Another restraining factor for the Europe natural gas leakage detection systems market is the lack of skilled labor, as training associated with specific applications of gas leak detectors is essential, especially for personnel using portable gas leak detectors. 

Market Opportunities:

IoT plays a very vital role in the information technology sector. IoT refers to a network of sensors formed by integrating various information-sensing devices with the internet. The increasing use of mobile devices, the growing demand for IoT, and many advancements in cloud computing and big data analytics have led to the need for gas sensors with more advanced and equipped gas-sensing capabilities. 

Market Key Developments:

  • In February 2021, Sensirion AG completed the acquisition of Qmicro B.V., an innovative OEM supplier of miniaturized gas analysis technologies. With this acquisition, Sensirion extended its gas sensing portfolio from components and molecules to stand-alone micro gas analyzers for industrial applications. 
  • In April 2021, Amphenol Corporation completed its acquisition of MTS Systems Corporation. 
  • In April 2022, MSA Safety, Incorporated launched it's latest- the ALTAIR io 4 Gas Detection Wearable device. The ALTAIR io four devices represent the hardware portion of a cloud-ready suite of technology that MSA calls the Connected Work Platform. 
  • In April 2022, Sensirion developed its SEN50 and SEN55 environmental sensing solutions for measuring relevant environmental parameters.
