Volatile Organic Compound Gas Sensor Market Size Analysis 2020, & Forecast 2021-2026 (Includes Business Impact of COVID-19)

                                          
Abstract, Snapshot, Market Analysis & Market Definition: Global Volatile Organic Compound Gas Sensor Market


The global Volatile Organic Compound Gas Sensor market size is projected to reach US$ 193.93 million by 2026, from US$ 153.26 million in 2020, at a CAGR of 4% during 2021-2026. These sensors are used for measuring the concentration of various gases in their vicinity, such as ethene, benzene, methylene chloride, propane, acetone, and ethanol among others. Increasing awareness about air pollution is one of the key opportunity drivers for the market. The demand is expected to continue rising owing to the features such as detection of explosive or toxic gases at safe distances.
Increasing imposition of regulations and policies by government associations, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), have resulted in the large-scale adoption in various industries. The volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors are compact in size and can be easily installed in harsh environments. Additionally, vendors are focusing on manufacturing products that are compact and have improved electronics and can provide real-time information regarding on-field activities.

At present, increasing awareness about indoor and outdoor air quality is driving the demand in industrial as well as private environmental monitoring. The efficiency of VOC gas sensors used in industrial applications is very low and consume more power at high temperature. Thus, the need for sensors with high accuracy and low power consumption is a critical driver for the current industrial sensor market.

New technologies, such as miniaturized Photo Ionization Detectors (PIDs) for measurement, Non-dispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensors for combustible gas, and additional types of substance-specific electrochemical sensors, are available for incorporation into multi-sensor portable instruments. VOC sensors are majorly used in the oil and gas industry to detect leaks on drilling platforms (upstream), pipelines, trailers and tanker vessels (midstream), and refining and storage facilities (downstream).

Developments in wireless sensors,miniaturized systems, and flexible electronics for consumer markets boost the growth. However, rise in the adoption of these wireless products with Internet of Things (IoT) may hamper the wired VOC gas sensor market in the forthcoming years.
