The growing issues of air pollution, water contamination, and soil erosion are expected to drive the expansion of the environmental sensing and monitoring technology market. These environmental challenges result from the introduction of harmful substances into ecosystems, with air pollution caused by emissions from vehicles, industries, and power plants, and water contamination and soil erosion stemming from industrial waste and land degradation. Environmental sensing and monitoring technologies play a critical role in addressing these issues by collecting real-time data on air pollution levels, water quality, and soil conditions, enabling better assessment and mitigation strategies. For example, in February 2024, the Government of New South Wales reported a 30% increase in particle pollution (PM10 and PM2.5) in 2023 compared to the previous year. Additionally, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported a 0.9% rise in global energy-related CO2 emissions in 2022, marking an increase of 321 million metric tons. As these environmental issues intensify, the demand for effective sensing and monitoring technologies is expected to grow.
