Volatile Organic Compound Gas Sensor Market To Reach $233.3 Million By 2030

Volatile Organic Compound Gas Sensor Market Growth & Trends

The global volatile organic compound gas sensor market size is expected to reach USD 233.3 million by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new study conducted by Grand View Research, Inc. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are harmful gases that contribute to air pollution. As a result, detecting VOCs in the air has become a critical concern, especially in the development of leak detection devices. The use of VOC sensors in air monitoring devices has gained significant attention due to their exceptional sensing performance, portability, and compact size. In addition, rising awareness regarding indoor and outdoor air quality is fueling the demand for environmental monitoring solutions in both industrial and private settings. This trend is expected to drive volatile organic compound gas sensor market growth in the coming years.

Advanced technologies such as miniaturized Photo Ionization Detectors (PIDs) for measurement, Non-dispersive Infrared (NDIR) sensors for combustible gas, and other types of substance-specific electrochemical sensors are now available for integration into portable multi-sensor instruments. These VOC gas sensors are primarily employed in the oil and gas industry to detect leaks at various stages of production, including drilling platforms (upstream), trailers, pipelines, refining and storage facilities (downstream), and tanker vessels (midstream). Furthermore, the increasing adoption of wireless sensor technology and miniaturization of electronic components has led to the rising demand for VOC gas sensors.

Furthermore, various companies started producing wireless volatile organic compound gas sensors, which is ultimately contributing to the market’s growth. For instance, in October 2021, ABB Ltd. launched its first touch-free smart sensor under the name ABB FusionAir Smart Sensor to monitor the carbon dioxide (CO2), humidity, temperature, and VOCs to improve the overall indoor air quality and reduce the risk of viral exposure. Apart from measuring temperature, humidity, CO2, and VOC levels, the FusionAir Smart Sensor also provides intelligent control for HVAC, lighting, and blinds by connecting with Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors or door entry data. By enabling contactless control, this sensor provides safety against the transmission of surface-borne diseases to occupants of a building.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted several economies. The pandemic has caused disruptions in the supply chain, leading to production and delivery delays for some VOC gas sensor manufacturers. This has created challenges for businesses that rely on these technologies and has caused some to postpone investments in new equipment or technologies. Despite these challenges, the VOC gas sensor industry is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by a growing demand for air quality monitoring solutions in various sectors such as healthcare, education, and commercial buildings.
