Portable Gas Detector Market Analysis
The global portable gas detector market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period from 2022 to 2027. The increasing demand for gas detectors by industries such as mining, oil & gas, chemical, and power, that use these devices to monitor and detect the presence of various toxic and combustible gases is driving the market. Moreover, many government regulations mandating the installation of these devices in potentially hazardous environments also contribute to market growth.
- Safety measures for industrial gas processing is one of the critical factors driving the portable gas detectors market in industries like oil & gas and chemicals. Many oil & gas and chemical companies need to ensure that the emissions of various harmful gases meet the regulatory standards.
- Technological advances in gas detection and sensing are also creating new opportunities for the market. For instance, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and screen-printing techniques aid the development of miniaturized gas sensors and enable the integration of such gas sensors into many consumer devices, such as mobile phones and wearable devices.
- In addition, governments worldwide are increasingly setting targets to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases and are adopting stringent regulations to tackle emission rates. For instance, the EU has set itself a net-zero greenhouse gas emissions goal by 2050. Such developments are expected to further increase the adoption rates of gas detectors.
- Rising pricing pressure due to intense market competition is reducing the devices' average selling price, which acts as a major restraining factor for the market.
- The oil & gas industry, in which gas detectors are widely used, suffered a significant setback due to the supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, which negatively impacted the demand for these devices.
