Global Electronic Nose Market Trends and Insights

Major companies operating in the electronic nose market are focusing on adopting sensor-based applications, such as commercial metal semiconductor oxide sensors, to enhance detection accuracy, improve sensitivity, and expand applications across various industries. Commercial metal semiconductor oxide (MOS) sensors are gas sensors that detect and analyse volatile compounds by measuring changes in electrical resistance when gases interact with metal oxide materials. For instance, in January 2024, the Department of Electrical Engineering at the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology, a Taiwan-based technical university, developed an electronic nose (e-nose) capable of identifying coffee aromas with up to 98% accuracy. The device uses eight commercial metal semiconductor oxide sensors to detect specific aroma-related gases. These sensors analysed roasted and brewed coffees from different varieties and origins. An AI algorithm then processed the collected data. This technology enhances coffee classification based on scent detection.
