Global Portable Gas Detection Market: Overview

Portable gas detectors are handheld small gas detectors that can be used in systems where fixed gas detectors cannot be installed. These detectors are available in both wearable and non-wearable options. Such gas detectors inform people regarding a potential gas leakage by sending alerts. It also sends signals for unknown gas hazards like oxygen deficiency, leakages of toxic gases, combustible gases and hence aids in employee's safety. The product can be operated with a battery and even have a connectivity option for wireless networks. There are some special kinds of sensors fitted in them like a catalytic bead, electrochemical sensors, infrared, photoionization, holographic, and ultrasonic sensors.

Global Portable Gas Detection Market: Growth Factors

The global portable gas detection market is majorly driven by the growing demand for technologically advanced sensors used in gas detectors with reduced work redundancy, enhanced performance, and increased reliability. However, portability is an important key factor for the growing preference of people. Strict government rules and regulations regarding product usage for ensuring employee safety is significantly boosting the growth of the global portable gas detection market. The increasing investments for developing advanced portable devices are fueling the market growth.

Furthermore, the rapid proliferation of the mining and construction sector is supporting the global portable gas detection market as the mining and oil & gas industry need efficient and portable gas detection devices to detect the presence of gas at sites. Refining activities include several danger zone activities like lubricating wax, oil, and other fuel products that pose a serious health hazard to laborers. Hence use of these portable gas detectors is essential. The growing research and development activities to improve the efficiency of these detectors are also expanding the market.

The significant spike in the popularity of these devices in residential and commercial sectors for detecting natural gases is bolstering the growth of the global portable gas detection market. The growing number of natural gas stations in the cities is fueling the demand for these detectors. Natural gas is not among the toxic gases but they are highly combustible and hence can lead to accidents.
