Therefore, this equipment is deployed in areas where high chances of gas leakage are observed.

However, the demand for portable gas detection equipment has also shown remarkable growth in recent years. Additionally, the market is primarily driven by factors such as providing remote monitoring features to the industrial & commercial units via cloud connectivity as well as other data analysis feature. Thus, it is expected that portable gas detectors would further register a high growth rate in the years to come.

Furthermore, the manufacturers have assessed the growing demand for portable gas detection equipment & have strategically positioned their product offering by expanding their product portfolio through new product launches, strategic acquisitions, investing in R&D, etc. Consequently, this has expanded the scope of portable gas detection equipment in the region.

 Based on the Technology:

  • Infrared (IR)
  • Semiconductor
  • Laser-based Detection
  • Photo-Ionization Detector (PID)
  • Others (Electrochemical, Catalytic, etc.)

Of them all, Infrared (IR) technology acquired a noteworthy share in the North America Gas Detection Equipment market during 2017-21. This equipment is generally used in fixed gas detection systems to constantly monitor a specific area by sending an infrared beam, to select the proper wavelength & an optical infrared receiver to detect combustibles/flammables. These types of equipment can detect all hetero-atomic gases, such as carbon dioxide & hydrocarbon compounds, which makes its adoption even farther in industries, including oil & gas and petrochemicals.

Additionally, due to their long-range & high efficiency, the owners of industrial facilities select infrared gas detection equipment to avoid any accidents. Moreover, the ability of laser-based gas detectors to detect very low concentrations of hazardous gases, such as methane, by even penetrating through the flames has made it a preferable choice for the oil & gas sector. Therefore, the demand for laser-based gas detectors is expected to flourish in the coming years.
