Transparency Market Research published new market report “Gas Sensors
Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Analysis and Forecast,
2012-2018,” the global gas sensors market is expected to reach a value of USD
2.32 billion by 2018, at a CAGR of 5.7% from 2012 to 2018. Strengthening
government regulations for exhaust emission control and growing concerns
towards occupational safety and health are some important factors driving the
demand for gas sensors, globally.
Some of the majorgas sensing technologies include electrochemical,
semiconductor, catalytic, infrared, PID (photoionization detector), and solid
state, among others. Gas sensors based on electrochemical and semiconductor gas
sensing technologies held the largest market share of around 21% and 20%,
respectively, in 2012. Better efficiency, fast response time, and cost
effectiveness are some important factors that led to the growth of gas sensors
based on these technologies.
The major application areas for gas sensors include automotive industry,
petrochemical industry, manufacturing processes, and environmental applications
among others. Gas sensors are primarily used for indoor and outdoor air quality
monitoring and maintenance, detection of combustible and toxic gases, exhaust
emission control in automobiles and others. Gas sensors are largely used in
industrial applications to monitor and detect concentrations of various toxic
and combustible gases.
Transparency Market Research Industrial applications is the largest
end-user market for gas sensors that accounted for around 20% share in 2012
followed by automotive industry with a share of around 16% in 2012. Automotive
gas sensor is the fastest growing segment and is expected to grow at a CAGR of
6.1% during the forecast period from 2012 to 2018. The growing incorporation of
gas sensors in automobiles for comfort and safety of passengers is mainly
responsible for the growth of the automotive gas sensors market. Gas sensors in
automobiles are used for monitoring cabin air quality, exhaust gas emission
control, and others.
The medical sector is another important end-user industry for gas
sensors which is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.0% from 2012 to 2018. Gas
sensors are used to detect the presence of anesthesia gases in operation
theatres and also to detect gases such as nitrogen, helium and others. Growing
use of gas sensors in breath analysis to check the health of patients is also
driving the demand for gas sensors. Some other application areas of gas sensors
include R&D laboratories, educational institutes, power generation, and
others.
The major product segments of the gas sensors market include oxygensensors (O2), carbon dioxide sensors (CO2), carbon monoxide sensors (CO),
nitrous oxide sensors (NOx), and other gas sensors such as methane sensors,
nitrogen sensors, hydrogen sensors etc. CO2 is the largest product segment that
accounted for around 25% share of the total gas sensors market in 2012 followed
by carbon monoxide gas sensors that held a share of around 15% of the total gas
sensors market in the same year. High concentration of CO2 causes depletion of
oxygen in the air and creates a hazardous situation for humans. One of the
major reasons for the growth of CO2 sensors is their capability to detect
incipient spoilage in controlled packages and storage spaces.
Gas sensors are the devices that transform partial pressures or gas
compositions measured in air or gases into an electric signal. Gas sensors
comprise of two basic parts - a receptor enabling chemical recognition and a
transducer transforming the chemical reactions into an output electric signal.
