Gas Sensor Market Dynamics

Drivers: Occupational Health And Safety Regulations

Industrial processes often involve the use of combustible and toxic gases like Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), posing significant risks to nearby workers. Continuous monitoring of these gases is crucial to prevent accidents. The demand for gas sensors, which ensure occupational health and safety, is increasing across various sectors, including manufacturing and processing industries. Regulations in North America and Europe regarding gas sensor usage are expected to positively influence the market. These devices effectively monitor gas leakages, safeguarding workers in hazardous environments. Agencies like the U.S.'s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the UK’s Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA) endorse gas sensor usage at workplaces. Industries like oil & gas, utilities, and manufacturing emit large amounts of toxic gases such as hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide, exposing nearby workers to potential respiratory diseases. Hydrogen sulfide, a toxic gas found in oil and natural gas deposits, can cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs, and can even be fatal. A 2018 United Nations report revealed that around 2.8 million workers are affected annually due to exposure to toxic gases. Hence, continuous monitoring of these gases is essential for occupational safety in industries like oil & gas, mining, chemicals, and manufacturing.

Drivers: Increasing Use Of Wireless And Smart Gas Sensor Technology

The global market is anticipated to benefit from the growing use of wireless gas sensors. These sensors, capable of detecting target gas concentrations and transmitting corresponding signals, are particularly useful in remote areas. Their demand is expected to remain high due to their ability to identify toxic or flammable gases in dangerous environments. Wireless sensors offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, the capacity to form a sensor network, and easy installation. They can be integrated into portable devices like tablets and smartphones, enhancing performance in harsh conditions. Many companies are focusing on wireless technology to reap substantial benefits, such as real-time data transfer with the Internet of Things and improved resource utilization with less complexity. This trend is expected to continue, further driving the adoption of wireless gas sensors.

Restrains: Technical Issues And Hash Environments Hamper The Average Life Span Of A Sensor

Technical challenges associated with gas sensors, such as their inability to detect gases at certain temperature levels, pose a hurdle for market growth. Gas sensors made from metal oxides are vulnerable to harsh conditions like high temperatures and humidity. In humid conditions, the interaction between water molecules and surface oxygen reduces the baseline resistance of the sensor, decreasing its sensitivity. Moreover, gas sensors based on metal oxide semiconductor technology consume more power than those based on electrochemical technology. They are also susceptible to cross-sensitivity issues. For example, carbon monoxide sensors react to both carbon monoxide and hydrogen, which can lead to inflated carbon monoxide concentration readings in applications with high hydrogen levels. Gas sensors operating above 1000°C face challenges such as selectivity and thermal stability. The sensor’s mounting style can also cause detection problems. Sensors designed to detect a specific metal should not be mounted on that metal without a gap between the sensing face and the mounting metal, as incorrect mounting can result in false readings.
