Gas Detection Equipment Market Report 2025

The gas detection equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $4.76 billion in 2024 to $5.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to strong economic growth in emerging markets, rapid industrialization, and expansion of oil and gas pipelines.

The gas detection equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.31 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the growing petrochemical industry, increasing awareness to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supportive government initiatives. Major trends in the forecast period include the introduction of cloud-based solutions, the convergence of IoT (Internet of Things) and AI (artificial intelligence) in gas detection, partnerships and collaborations, drone-based gas monitoring, and the adoption of laser technology.

The gas detection equipment market is anticipated to experience growth due to the increased demand for natural gas and petroleum. Natural gas and petroleum, vital energy sources, are witnessing heightened demand as the global population expands. This surge in demand has led to intensified exploration and production activities, consequently increasing the use of gas detection equipment to ensure the safety of workers involved. These detection systems play a crucial role in identifying potential risks to workers in the oil and gas industry, both during operations and within industrial settings. An example of this trend is evident in the data from April 2023, indicating a 5.3 million barrels per day (b/d) increase in oil consumption in 2021. Global liquid fuel consumption is projected to rise by 1.8 million barrels per day in 2024, underscoring the market's growth driven by the heightened demand for natural gas and petroleum.

The global expansion of oil and gas pipelines is contributing significantly to the gas detection equipment market. The transportation of large volumes of potentially hazardous materials through extensive pipeline networks necessitates robust safety measures. Gas detection equipment plays a critical role in monitoring, detecting leaks, and preventing accidents, ensuring the well-being of workers and environmental protection. In 2022, the announcement of four new natural gas pipeline expansion projects in the USA exemplifies the importance of such infrastructure enhancements. These projects, including the Gulf Coast Express Pipeline Expansion and the Permian Highway Pipeline Expansion, underscore the pivotal role played by gas detection equipment in pipeline safety.

A key trend in the gas detection equipment market is the emphasis on product innovation by major industry players. Companies are developing cutting-edge products to fortify their market positions. For instance, in September 2022, Dräger, a German-based gas detection and analysis systems manufacturer, introduced the Draeger X-am 2800, a mobile gas detector equipped with a CatEX sensor for real-time chemical exposure information during emergency responses. The device's durability and functionality were demonstrated through independent drop tests, and its built-in Bluetooth connectivity allows live gas measurements to be transmitted to Dräger's Gas Detection Connect cloud service.

Major players in the gas detection equipment market are harnessing advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the capabilities of gas detectors. This approach enables real-time data collection, AI-driven analysis, and the delivery of more accurate insights into gas levels and safety conditions. In September 2022, Blackline Safety Corp., a Canada-based connected safety technology company, launched the G6 personal gas detector, utilizing IoT cellular connectivity for extended battery life and reduced false alarms. Another example is Bosch Sensortec GmbH's BME688 gas sensor, introduced in March 2021, incorporating AI to detect various gases, including volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide.

In August 2024, Cross Company Instrumentation Group, a U.S.-based provider of industrial solutions, partnered with RKI Instruments Inc. to enhance their capabilities in gas detection and monitoring solutions. This collaboration aims to expand Cross Company's portfolio by incorporating a comprehensive range of RKI's gas detection systems, including portable and fixed systems, controllers, wireless solutions, and stand-alone detectors. RKI Instruments, Inc. is a U.S.-based manufacturer of gas detection equipment.
