Global Gas Detector Market 2017-2021

This market research study identifies BRK Brands, Honeywell International, Kidde, Robert Bosch, and Siemens as the leading players in the global gas detector market. A comprehensive analysis of this market is also presented by product (fixed gas detector and portable gas detectors), by power source (battery-powered, hardwired gas detectors with backup batteries, and hardwired gas detectors without backup batteries), by sensor type (electrochemical sensors, infrared sensors, metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors, and other sensors), by end-usage (industrial, commercial, and residential), and by geography (APAC, Europe, North America, and ROW).

Overview of the global gas detector market

Manufacturers are developing smart gas detectors by focusing on the development of innovative wireless technology and rapid integration of big data and artificial intelligence (AI). Research analysis on the global gas detector market identifies that the increasing demand for smart gas detectors that enable remote notifications will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market. These detectors use wireless technology such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX, and ZigBee to connect to a smartphone or tablet. This enable users to track the function of the product at all times, even from remote locations. Additionally, in cases where the individual does not respond to the CO alert notification, the smart gas alarm also informs friends and family. Such innovations will drive the growth of the gas detectors market, which according to Technavio's market research analysts will grow at a CAGR of close to 5% by 2021.

The illnesses caused by harmful gases like CO and sulfur dioxide (SO2) is propelling the demand for gas detectors in North America. The government of the US has introduced mandatory regulations to compel the adoption of CO gas leak detector in every home. The awareness about the harmful effects of poisonous carbon monoxide (CO) through national fire protection association (NFPA) and the US consumer product safety commission (CPSC) will further drive the growth prospects for the global gas detector market in the region.

Segmentation by sensor type and analysis of the gas detector market

• Electrochemical sensors
• Infrared sensors
• Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) sensors

The electrochemical gas sensor has oxidation and reduction properties. The incorporation of an electrochemical sensor in gas detector or gas monitor is gaining popularity among end-users because it reduces or oxidizes the target gas at an electrode to measure the concentration of a target gas. These sensors can detect harmful gases or toxic gases such as CO, methane, nitrogen dioxide.

Segmentation by end-usage and analysis of the gas detector market

• Industrial use
• Commercial use
• Residential use

Oil and gas, food and beverage, dairy, healthcare, beauty and personal care (cosmetics), and chemical industries are witnessing growth due to the rising investments in research and developmental activities. This in turn, will boost the adoption of the portable gas detector for various industrial purposes. The gas detection equipment market will witness continuous growth in the industrial segment due to the rising demand for gas monitoring facilities to detect the presence of harmful gases.
