The gas sensors market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size of gas sensors has experienced significant growth in the past few years. It is projected to increase from $2.34 billion in 2024 to $2.57 billion in 2025, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. The historic period's expansion is credited to environmental issues and policies, heightened industrialization, incorporation of consumer electronics, applications in healthcare, controlling automotive emissions, and an increase in oil & gas exploration activities.
The Gas Sensors market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size of gas sensors is anticipated to observe robust expansion in the coming years, reaching a value of $3.72 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.7%.
This projected increase during the forecast period can be linked to strict environmental rules, a surge in industrial automation, steady growth in the oil and gas sector, advancement in the healthcare industry, and a flourishing automotive industry. Key trends for the same period are expected to be accelerated urbanization, Internet of Things (IoT) integration, intelligent manufacturing, applications in healthcare, safety regulations in the automotive industry, as well as miniaturization and portability.
The escalating concern of air pollution is predicted to spur the advancement of the gas sensor market. Air pollution involves the presence of detrimental substances in the air which can adversely affect both human health and the environment. This contamination includes particles like nitrogen oxides, ozone, sulfur dioxide, particulate matter and other harmful chemicals. Gas sensors are instrumental devices utilized to identify the presence and level of particular gases in the air. They are also useful in spotting gas leaks which can assist in averting perilous situations. For instance, the World Economic Forum, an independent international organization based in Switzerland, published a report in November 2022 stating that, in 2021, the global atmospheric CO2 concentration increased by 2.5 parts per million (PPM). Additionally, it is projected to ascend another 2.5 PPM in 2022, which will result in an average worldwide atmospheric concentration of 417.2 PPM. This represents a nearly 51% rise in atmospheric CO2 in comparison to pre-industrial levels. Consequently, the intensifying air pollution is acting as a catalyst for the development of the gas sensor market.
