Wireless Gas Detection Market Report 2026

The wireless gas detection market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.42 billion in 2025 to $2.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to industrial safety regulations, growth in oil and gas operations, expansion of mining activities, increased workplace safety awareness, adoption of fixed gas detection systems.

The wireless gas detection market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.3%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to smart industrial safety adoption, expansion of industrial IoT networks, stricter environmental regulations, growth in hazardous area monitoring, demand for remote monitoring solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include growing adoption of wireless safety systems, rising demand for real time gas monitoring, expansion of battery powered detection devices, increasing use in harsh industrial environments, focus on predictive safety analytics.

The growing energy sector is expected to drive the growth of the wireless gas detection market going forward. The energy sector includes the exploration, extraction, production, refining, and distribution of various energy resources such as fossil fuels, renewable energy, and nuclear power. In environments where gas hazards are likely, wireless gas detectors play a critical role in ensuring safety by providing continuous monitoring for gas leaks and helping companies comply with safety regulations. For example, in April 2023, the Energy Information Administration, a US-based government agency, reported that U.S. energy consumption across all forms is projected to grow between 0% and 15% from 2022 to 2050. Industrial sector energy consumption alone is expected to increase by 5% to 32% during the same period. Additionally, U.S. households consumed 5.1 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) of electricity in 2022, with residential electricity purchases projected to rise between 14% and 22% by 2050, reaching 5.9 to 6.3 quads. Therefore, the expansion of the energy sector is contributing to the growth of the wireless gas detection market.

Major companies in the wireless gas detection market are developing portable single gas detectors to improve real-time monitoring, enhance worker safety, and provide convenient, on-the-go detection of hazardous gases across industrial settings. Portable single gas detectors are compact, handheld tools designed to sense the presence of a specific hazardous gas in the environment. For example, in August 2024, KARAM Safety, an India-based manufacturer of personal protective equipment, launched a series of portable single gas detectors. These devices are engineered for workplace safety, featuring replaceable sensors and batteries, durable construction for harsh environments, and compliance with the IP67 dust- and waterproof standard. They deliver real-time gas concentration readings and include automated diagnostic checks as well as audible and vibrating alarms for effective alerting.

In January 2024, Fortive, a US-based diversified industrial technology company, acquired EA Elektro-Automatik for an undisclosed amount. EA Elektro-Automatik specializes in high-power electronic test solutions that complement Fortive’s existing capabilities in electronic measurement and control. This acquisition is expected to support the development of more advanced wireless gas detection systems by integrating enhanced electronic testing and monitoring technologies. EA Elektro-Automatik is a Germany-based technology company that manufactures wireless gas detectors, including the GS01-EA model.
