Volatile Organic Compound Gas Sensor Industry Overview
The global volatile organic compound gas sensor market size is anticipated to reach USD 186.7 million by 2025, registering a CAGR of 4.0% from 2019 to 2025, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The detection of volatile organic compound (VOC) gases in the air has received considerable attention and is becoming increasingly important in the development of leak detection devices. This factor is anticipated to drive the market growth.
Volatile Organic Compound Gas Sensor Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global volatile organic compound gas sensors market on the basis of type, technology, application, and region:
Based on the Type Insights, the market is segmented into Single Gas Detection Sensor, Multiple Gas Detection Sensor.
- Single gas detection sensors detect one gas at a time and they are majorly used in automotive applications. They are best suited for combustible gases, acetone, butadiene, xylene, toluene, tetrachloroethylene, methylene chloride, and benzene, among others.
- Every process involving the manipulation and production of hydrocarbons emits VOC gases. As a result, the product is used for industrial applications such as oil refining, chemical processing, and petrochemical plant among others.
- Multiple gas detection sensors are widely used in the oil and gas sector owing to their portability and cost-effectiveness. These detectors are most commonly used for monitoring pipeline operations and detecting different gases, such as benzene, methylene chloride, perchloroethylene, MTBE, and formaldehyde.
Based on the Technology Insights, the market is segmented into Photo-Ionization Detector (PID), Infrared-based Detection, Metal-oxide Semiconductor, Others.
- Metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors operate when VOC gas comes in contact with metal oxide surfaces as oxidation or reduction of the gas changes conductivity or resistivity of the metal oxide surface. The conductivity of resistivity change is measured by electronic circuitry.
- They are widely used by end-use industries such as automotive, petrochemical, and medical owing to the benefits such as resistance to corrosion and longer life. Semiconductor technology-based sensors accounted for a considerable market share in 2018.
Based on the Application Insights, the market is segmented into Oil Gas, Agriculture, Automotive, Chemical Industry, Manufacturing, Food Beverages, Metals Mining, Others.
- While production optimization remains the main focus for implementing sensors in oil and gas, health and safety are also important aspects. As a result, the use of VOC sensors is growing at a rapid pace for the real-time tracking of reservoir environment, monitoring of pipelines, monitoring of benzene leaks, and remote monitoring of plant equipment.
- Increasing demand for natural gas and petroleum has led to potential risks during production, such as exposure to toxic and combustible gases during extraction as well as gas leakage.
- The food and beverage manufacturing industry are expected to witness the rapid adoption of digital transformation and smart manufacturing initiatives in the forthcoming years. This growth is expected to arise from numerous food processing industry players that are functional across the value chain.
