Gas Detection Equipment Market To Reach $10.66 Billion By 2030

The global gas detection equipment market size was estimated at USD 5.60 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.7% from 2025 to 2030. The market growth is anticipated to increase due to employees' increasing worries about their safety worldwide. Public safety agencies such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Health and Safety Executive have developed stringent rules for the use of gas detection equipment, which is a key driver fueling market expansion. In addition, advancements in technology, such as the integration of Internet-of-Things (IoT) and cloud computing in gas detection systems are expected to drive the market growth in the coming years.

There is a rising need for gas detection technology as a result of efforts made by governments throughout the world to limit methane emissions from oil and gas. Methane detection with infrared gas detection sensors is common since these detectors are essential for evaluating effectiveness and safety in a variety of applications. Methane leaks during transportation, natural gas extraction, and power generation may be significantly reduced due to gas detecting devices.

Due to its capacity to detect the presence of flammable gases that are not visible to the naked eye, IR camera-based gas detectors have seen a considerable increase in demand in recent years. The camera used in infrared technology clicks the picture of the scanned region canned and displays the leaks as smoke on the screen. The camera can detect a variety of invisible gases from several meters away, including hydrocarbon-based gases such as methane, ethane, propane, and butane. It can also detect gas leaks in moving automobiles. The key advantage of adopting IR camera-based detection technology is its ability to monitor gas leaks remotely. Furthermore, using infrared imaging technology to identify gas leaks in pipelines can improve process efficiency.

Detailed Segmentation:

Product Insights

Fixed gas detector segment accounted for the largest share of 65.0% in 2024. The need for safe and healthy working environments is a major driving force behind the increased use of fixed gas detectors, as employers are becoming more aware of the risks associated with hazardous gases in the workplace. 

Technology Insights

Infrared segment held the largest market share in 2024. Infrared light is utilized in infrared gas detection technologies to identify flammable gases such as hydrocarbon gases. Infrared gas detectors are almost maintenance-free, which contributes significantly to the growth of the infrared gas detection technology segment.

End-use Insights

The industrial segment dominated the market in 2024. Due to several rules relevant to employee safety, gas detectors are widely employed in the industrial sector. The quantity of oxygen and carbon dioxide in mines is measured using gas detectors in the mining industry. 

Regional Insights

The North America gas detection equipment market held a significant share of the overall market in 2024. The market in North America is expected to witness significant growth owing to the presence of a large oil and gas pipeline network and oil and gas refineries in countries such as the U.S. and Canada.
