Gas Detection Equipment Market Report 2026

The gas detection equipment market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $5.11 billion in 2025 to $5.53 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of oil and gas exploration activities, tightening industrial safety regulations, increased deployment in chemical plants, rising mining safety requirements, wider adoption in utilities and infrastructure.

The gas detection equipment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.78 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing integration with IIoT platforms, growing demand for real-time monitoring systems, expansion of smart industrial facilities, rising investments in worker safety technologies, increased use in hazardous environment monitoring. Major trends in the forecast period include expansion of smart gas detection systems, increasing adoption of wireless gas sensors, growing integration of multi-gas detection platforms, rising demand for portable gas detectors, enhanced focus on industrial safety compliance.

Rising demand for natural gas and petroleum is expected to drive the growth of the gas detection equipment market. Natural gas is a mixture of hydrocarbon-rich gases, while petroleum is a liquid mixture used to produce oil, diesel, and various other products. As global population and energy needs grow, exploration and production activities are increasing, leading to higher utilization of gas detection equipment to ensure worker safety. Gas detection systems monitor risks in industrial environments, protecting workers from hazardous exposures. For instance, in May 2025, Eurostat, a Luxembourg-based statistical agency, reported that inland demand for natural gas in the EU rose by 0.6% in 2024 compared with 2023, reaching 12,802,111 terajoules, with Greece recording the largest consumption increase at 31.3%. Consequently, rising demand for natural gas and petroleum is fueling the gas detection equipment market.

Key companies in the gas detection equipment market are adopting innovative technologies such as cloud-integrated multi-sensor detection to improve real-time monitoring and hazard prevention. This technology networks gas and radiation sensors with a cloud platform, enabling continuous environmental data transmission, instant alerts, remote monitoring, and rapid incident response. For example, in September 2024, Blackline Safety, a Canada-based connected safety solutions provider, launched EXO 8, a cloud-connected portable area monitor capable of detecting up to eight gases and gamma radiation. It features modular swappable sensor cartridges, a full-color dual display for live readings and status, and direct-to-cloud data streaming with real-time alerts. EXO 8 enhances workplace safety, supports informed decision-making during emergencies, and strengthens continuous hazard detection across industrial sites.

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.
