ELECTRONIC NOSE MARKET ANALYSIS

An electronic nose is a device used for sensing smell, odors, and fragrance of the surrounding. This device consists of electronic sensing, which is used for comparison, identification, quantification, and even data storage and recovery. Electronic noses comprises three primary elements: a delivery system, a discovery system, and a calculating system.  These electronic nose offers commercial advantages over the human equivalent. For example, for companies handling large-scale production activities, it is not logistically possible to track freshness, quality, and cleanliness of each product by means of human sensing. In these cases, e-nose helps to ascertain if the goods meet quality standards.

Recent Developments:

1. In February 2022, SmartNanotubes Technologies, a German startup technology company developed the world’s first micro power multi-channel gas detector chip. It senses multiple gases and volatile organic compounds suitable for applications such as environmental, home, and security.
2. In November 2020, scientists at NTU Singapore Nanyang Technological University invented an artificial olfactory system that imitates the mammalian nose to find the freshness of meat. 

Growing concern for health is one of the major driving factors for growth of the market. Thus, demand for e-nose is expected to increase for application in the food and beverages (F&B) industry, in order to improve the quality of the foods, which in turn helps in decreasing diseases caused by food contamination. For instance, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), each year 48 million people get sick from food borne diseases in which 3,000 die every year. This electronic nose consist of sensors, which have ability to determine presence or absence of contaminants and related chemicals. Therefore, this electronic nose is used throughout food manufacturing process in order to maintain the quality of food. Hence, this factor helps in propelling growth of the market. Moreover, it is used by food inspectors, in order to identify freshness of the food products and it also helps in separating spoilt food from fresh food. Thus, this is expected to aid food and quality inspectors to provide certification to food manufacturers after checking the quality of food.

Restraint:

Major factor hampering growth of the market is the cost of electronic nose, which is very high. Owing to high prices of sensors incorporated in electronic nose, cost of the total product is high. Moreover, once the sensors get damaged, the cost of replacement is also high. This factor is expected to negatively affect growth of the market.

Global Electronic Nose Market- Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic

Covid-19 has severely disrupted the countries across the globe in terms of economy and health issue. It had a severe effect on businesses, trade and public health across the globe. Electronic nose technology proved helpful in the covid-19 as robot with sensing technology helped regulate their surroundings without making physical contact. Hence, the electronic nose market gained traction in covid-19 and were used in food and beverage industries to detect odor and maintain quality of food products.

Asia Pacific region held a dominant position in the Global Electronic Nose Market in 2021

Asia Pacific held a dominant position in the global electronic nose market in 2021 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. The food and beverage industry is growing exponentially in the Asia Pacific region. The Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor Sensors (MOS) are widely used in the food and beverage industry for food analysis.   MOS sensors are preferred due to its high sensitivity to chemicals in a wide range of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), reproducibility, and reliability.

North America is expected to gain traction in the global electronic nose market in the forecast period. To increase the customer base and achieve a competitive advantage, the top manufacturers in North America such as RoboScientific, ALPHA MOS and others are working to downsize electronic noses through research and development (R&D) operations. The aim is to develop a portable, cost-efficient, and compact, electronic nose to provide accurate result and meet the market requirement. This is driving the market growth of the global electronic nose market in the North America region.

Environmental monitoring segment is expected to drive the Global Lead Acid Battery during the fore,cast period

Among end user, the environmental monitoring segment accounted the largest share with 34.6% in the global electronic nose market in 2021 and is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period. This is owing to increasing air pollutants, which leads to increasing health issues. For instance, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2021, 7 million premature deaths due air pollution, globally. Thus, in order to control the effect of harmful pollutants in the environment, an electronic nose is used. This factor help in propelling growth of the segment.
