Market Trends of CO Gas Sensors Industry

The Petrochemical Segment to Witness Growth

  • Carbon monoxide sensors are being rapidly deployed in the LPG and LNG sectors since these industries require a check at every stage of gas storage, production, or transportation. The demand for safety and security at processing installations has also been increasing while natural gas production is growing worldwide. The growth of this segment is expected to be driven by the continued increase in gas products, and according to MOSPI, petrochemicals accounted for 37% of India's total energy consumption that year.
  • With a current TWA of only 5,000 ppm, carbon dioxide is more than twice as heavy as air. Currently, 40,000 ppm or 4% by volume of IDLH is in use. Toxic exposure symptoms are headache, trouble breathing, increased heart rate, and convulsions.
  • In the petrochemical industry, oil recovery and urea and methanol production require CO2 gas monitoring with a sensor that continuously detects CO2 levels and issues constant alarm commands when the gas is in toxic quantities.
  • They are also used to detect gas leaks and monitor air quality. Carbon monoxide sensors can be used with other instruments, such as a thermal imager or an infrared camera, to help identify the source of the gas leak.

North America is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share

  • The region is investing significantly in market growth. The rising industrial safety measures, increasing applications in the industrial sector, and an increasing number of deaths due to CO across the region further create demand for CO gas sensors.
  • In addition, according to the Ontario Association of Fire Chiefs, more than 50 people die yearly from CO poisoning across Canada; as people use fuel-burning appliances more often to keep warm in winter, the deaths are mainly due to cold weather conditions. As a result, adopting carbon monoxide (CO) gas sensors is beneficial, as these appliances can unknowingly cause dangerous levels of CO gas to build up in the home. The CO gas sensors are primarily used in carbon monoxide detectors and alarms.
  • According to IEA's Annual Energy Outlook 2022, petroleum and natural gas are expected to be the most-consumed power sources in the United States through 2050. In contrast, renewable energy is expected to be the fastest growing. The increasing incentives for solar and wind energy and declining technology costs support robust competition with natural gas for electricity generation. Such initiatives will drive the demand for CO gas sensors during the forecast period.
  • North America will be a lucrative market during the forecast period due to huge investments by manufacturers in R&D activities concerning new environmentally friendly products.
  • There are laws in many states and provinces of the region that require CO gas sensors to be installed in homes and other buildings as a precautionary measure against carbon monoxide poisoning. The demand for CO gas sensors in the region has increased significantly owing to all regulations relating to sensor devices.
  • There have been a few incidents of CO poisoning recently. Nine people were sent to a hospital in Ontario, Canada, and one person died in a vehicle in Alberta. In light of such events, Health Canada is warning Canadians to be alert in their homes and elsewhere and aware of carbon monoxide's dangers. Such events will drive North America's demand for CO gas sensors.
