The global flame detector market size is expected to reach USD 1,602.5 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. The rapid growth of industries, such as oil & gas, manufacturing, mining, transportation, and construction, has driven the demand for flame detectors. Increased awareness regarding the significance of fire safety and worker safety has encouraged industries to invest in innovative fire detection technologies. In addition, a rising development in flame-sensing technologies with embedded intelligence to detect the most common industrial fuels, including hydrogen, diesel, alcohol, kerosene, gasoline, jet fuel, LNG/LPG, ethylene, and many others is propelling the growth of the market.
Flame-sensing technologies include ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR), visual flame imaging multi-spectrum infrared (MSIR), and UV/IR. The vast presence of UV/IR and MSIR flame detector providers across the world is boosting the market’s growth. For instance, companies, such as Honeywell International Inc., MSA Safety Inc., Det-Tronics, and Rezontech Co., Ltd. offer several UV/IR and MSIR technology-based flame detectors in the market. In addition, the rising focus on developing visual flame imaging flame detectors is further expected to improve the market’s growth.
Visual flame imaging flame detectors use charged couple device (CCD) image sensors for the detection of fires. These sensors analyze real-time CCD video, interpreting the shape and growth of potential fire sources. This analysis aids in differentiating actual fire threats from non-threatening situations. A benefit of this flame detector is it does not depend on carbon dioxide emissions or other combustion byproducts to detect fire, which ultimately boosts the market’s growth. However, a limitation of visual flame imaging flame detectors is their inability to identify fires beyond the human visual spectrum, such as hydrogen flames.
The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted several economies. Supply chain disturbances resulting from the pandemic have triggered setbacks in the manufacturing and distribution processes of certain flame detector makers. As a result, enterprises dependent on these technologies have faced difficulties, leading some to delay their investments in new equipment or technologies. Despite these challenges, it is anticipated that the market will sustain growth driven by an increasing product demand for continuous monitoring of fires across a range of sectors including oil & gas, fire services, mining, and commercial constructions.
