Market Trends of Gas Sensor, Detector And Analyzer Industry
Oil and Gas Industry Segment is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- In the oil and gas industry, protecting a pressurized pipeline from corrosion and leaks and minimizing downtime are a few of the crucial responsibilities of the industry. As per a NACE (National Association of Corrosion Engineers) study, the total annual cost of corrosion in the oil and gas production industry is around USD 1.372 billion.
- The presence of oxygen in the gas sample determines a leak in the pressurized pipeline system. The continuous and undetected leak may worsen the situation while impacting on operational flow efficiency of the pipeline. Moreover, the presence of gases, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2), in the pipeline system reacting with oxygen can combine and form a corrosive and destructive mixture that can deteriorate the pipeline wall inside out.
- Mitigating such expensive costs is one of the drivers for adopting gas analyzers for preventive actions in the industry. Gas analyzer helps monitor leaks to extend the life of pipeline systems by effectively detecting the presence of such gases. The oil and gas industry is moving toward the TDL technique (tunable diode laser), which enables the reliability of detecting with precision because of its high-resolution TDL technique and avoids common interferences with traditional analyzers.
- As per the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) June 2022, net global refining capacity is expected to expand by 1.0 million b/d in 2022 and by an additional 1.6 million b/d in 2023. With refinery gas analyzers commonly used to characterize gases produced during crude oil refining, such trends are expected to increase the market demand further.
- According to IEA, global natural gas supply increased by an estimated 4.1% globally in 2021, partly supported by the market recovery post the COVID-19 pandemic. The detection and monitoring of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is pertinent in natural gas processing, creating significant demand for gas analyzers.
- There are many ongoing and upcoming projects in the industry, with massive investments toward expanding production. For instance, the West Path Delivery 2023 project is expected to add about 40 km of new natural gas pipeline to the existing 25,000-km NGTL system, which ships gas across Canada and to the U.S. markets. Such projects are expected to continue during the forecast period, which will fuel the demand for gas analyzers.

Asia Pacific is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- Increased investments in new plants in oil and gas, steel, power, chemical, and petrochemicals and the rising adoption of international safety standards and practices are expected to influence market growth. Asia Pacific is the only region to register an oil and gas capacity growth in recent years. About four new refineries were added in the area, which has added nearly 750,000 barrels per day to global crude oil production.
- The development of industries in the region is driving the growth of gas analyzers, owing to their use in the oil and gas industry, such as monitoring processes, increased safety, enhanced efficiency, and quality. Hence, the refineries in the region are deploying gas analyzers in the plants.
- During the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing global gas sensors market regions. This is due to a rise in strict governmental regulations and ongoing environmental awareness campaigns. Further, according to IBEF, as per the National Infrastructure Pipeline 2019-25, energy sector projects accounted for the highest share (24%) out of the total expected capital expenditure of INR 111 lakh crore (USD 1.4 trillion).
- Also, the strict government regulations have recently shown significant growth in this region. Moreover, the surge in the government's investments in smart city projects creates a significant potential for smart sensor devices, likely to impel regional Gas Sensors Market growth.
- Rapid industrialization across the different countries in the Asia Pacific region is one of the primary factors driving the growth of the gas detectors market. Smoke, fumes, and toxic gas emissions occur due to highly polluting industries such as thermal power plants, coal mines, sponge iron, steel and ferroalloys, petroleum, and chemicals. Gas detectors are commonly used to detect combustible, flammable, and toxic gases and ensure safe industrial operations.
