Gas Sensor Market Size

Gas Sensor Market size was worth more than USD 2 billion in 2022 and is expected to record over 8% CAGR from 2023-2032. Rising demand for autonomous vehicles is anticipated to have a positive impact on the gas sensors industry outlook.
 

Gas Sensor Market

The advent of driverless/self-driving vehicles has gained massive momentum in the recent past given the rapid shift in consumer preference from conventional automobiles to modern vehicles featuring AI modalities and advanced algorithms. Autonomous vehicles are embedded with gas sensors to optimize safety and efficiency across operations. These sensors play a key role in monitoring and maintaining air quality by detecting the presence of gases toxic to passengers as well as the environment, thus amplifying product demand.
 

Several automobile giants are investing heavily to scale up the manufacturing of driverless vehicle systems, propelling the demand for gas sensors. For instance, in October 2022, Volkswagen AG announced plans to invest USD 2.3 billion in a new autonomous driving joint initiative with China’s Horizon Robotics Inc. to manufacture automated & assisted driving systems.
 

Technical limitations & high initial costs may impede product demand

Gas sensors based on aging metal-oxide semiconductors showcase certain technical concerns such as low selectivity due to their dependence on surface chemistry, thus hampering product adoption. Gas sensors featuring semiconductors are highly vulnerable to other limitations including susceptibility to humidity, slow recovery, and dosimeter-type response. However, ongoing developments in the miniaturization of gas sensors are expected to offer more sophisticated technologies with superior performance efficiency. Miniaturization of electronics is a rapidly proliferating trend offering lucrative scope for innovative small gas detectors and air control monitors.
 

Gas Sensor Market Analysis

Global Gas Sensor Market, By Application

Gas sensor market valuation from the industrial sector is poised to reach over USD 2 billion by 2032. The growing demand for gas sensors across the industrial sector can be attributed to the deployment of stringent worker safety guidelines. Industrial units require very effective strategies to protect workers from hazardous substances such as isocyanides, VOCs, and carcinogens released during day-to-day operations. High exposure to such toxic compounds elevates the risk of cancer among workers, driving the need for advanced gas sensors to detect leaks and volumes of pollutants in manufacturing facilities.
 

Global Gas Sensor Market Share (%), By Connectivity

In terms of revenue, the gas sensor market share from wireless gas sensors reached over USD 1.5 billion in 2022. Wireless gas sensors offer an array of advantages including accurate measurement, low power consumption, and cost-effectiveness.
