Europe Portable Gas Detector Market Size (2024 - 2029)

Europe Portable Gas Detector Market Analysis

Over the forecast period, the Europe portable gas detector market is expected to grow at a CAGR of approximately 3.26%.The growing need for the protection and security of personnel often exposed to hazardous gasses in industries is driving market growth. Furthermore, stringent government regulations concerning workplace safety, especially for industries such as chemical and petrochemical, oil and gas, etc., also support the studied market's growth.

• As accidental gas leaks pose a considerable threat to properties, the environment, and human life, portable gas detectors play a crucial role in ensuring workplace safety across various industries. These devices are used for combustible or toxic gas detection and oxygen deficiency monitoring, especially in confined spaces.
• The increased demand for gas detectors combined with Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) solutions to enable anticipatory maintenance and the increased necessity for real-time data processing and delivery alerts during gas leaks are boosting the market's growth. Furthermore, the growing demand also encourages the vendors to launch new products in the European market.
• For instance, in September 2022, Blackline Safety Corp., which has offices in the United Kingdom and France, launched a revolutionary connected wearable for single-gas detection. G6, a completely linked and intuitive system that uses the most recent Internet of Things (IoT) mobile connectivity, offers enhanced advantages, including longer battery life, a cheaper cost of ownership, and fewer false alarms.
• Compared to other regions, the regulations concerning overall environmental emissions are relatively more stringent. The government regulates the leakage of such gases, which drives the demand for gas detectors. For instance, the EU-incorporated Directive 2010/75/EU is an instrumental regulation concerning the control of pollutant emissions into the atmosphere by industrial installations.
• However, the primary issue in manufacturing gas detectors is that the devices often need help to identify dangerous gasses and, more critically, to distinguish between harmful and non-hazardous gasses, resulting in uncertainty in operations and periodic false signals. Furthermore, the requirement of various sensors to detect different types of gasses also impacts the overall cost of the device.
• The COVID-19 outbreak has had a notable impact on the growth of the studied market, as the European region, especially countries like Italy, the United Kingdom, Germany, etc., reported a large number of infection cases. The widespread lockdown imposed as a result significantly disrupted the industrial sector, resulting in a slowdown in the demand for these devices. However, with the industrial sector starting to recover, the studied market is expected to witness an upward growth trend during the forecast period.

Europe Portable Gas Detector Industry Segmentation

Portable gas detectors use various methods to detect and display the number of specific gasses in the air. These are largely battery-powered devices for safety concerns and are usually used to avoid hazardous contamination and fire. Portable gas detectors identify excessive amounts of gasses by using audible or visible signs, including lights, alarms, or any combination of signals.

The study analyzes trends, market estimations, and projections by tracking the revenue accrued from the portable gas detector sale. Fixed gas detections, gas analyzers, and gas sensors are excluded from the scope of the study. The European portable gas detector market is segmented based on product type, end-use industry, and country. The study also analyzes the impact of COVID-19 on the European portable gas detector market. The market sizes and forecasts are provided in terms of value (USD million) for all the above segments.
