Gas leak detector system ensure safety of workplace by alerting the presence of combustible gases, exposure to toxic gases, and lack of oxygen in a particular area. Gas leak detector mainly comes in two types such as fixed gas detectors and portable gas detectors. Portable gas leak detector segment accounted for the largest share in 2020. Portable gas leak detector transmit warnings through visible and audible signals, such as flashing lights and alarms, when hazardous levels of gas vapors are detected. In commercial and residential applications, gas leak detectors are primarily used for detection of propane gas leak from appliances, gas pipe fittings, and propane tank. Increasing development of commercial infrastructure combined with various large-scale projects such as malls, company headquarters, airports, and hospitals are expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities in the near future. Market players such as Honeywell International Inc. offers various gas detection solutions designed for use in commercial buildings, shopping centers, office towers, universities, and others.
The global gas leak detector market is expected to witness significant growth during the forecast period (2021–2028) because gas detectors offer high reliability and high responsive methods to monitor toxicity, oxygen levels, and flammability. The development of gas infrastructures such as pipelines, gas stations, and warehouses is expected to increase the demand for gas worldwide. As a result of this, the demand for gas leak detectors is expected to increase significantly.
Growing consumption of industrial gases such as argon, helium, and nitrogen across different manufacturing industries is expected to boost the demand for gas leak detectors. Moreover, increasing use of gases in refrigeration and HVAC processes in automotive applications is expected to provide major growth opportunities for market players in the near future. For instance, CleanAir, a company which provides solutions to air emissions and air quality problems, offer the ‘ION GasCheck G’ portable gas leak detector, which can detect leakage of various gases such as helium, hydrogen, argon, nitrogen, and others.
The major factors restraining growth of the global gas leak detector market is low profit due to intense competition among the market players. The global gas leak detectors market is highly fragmented due to the presence of domestic and international market players. This high intensity of competition among the existing global and local players result in lower profit margins from products. Another restrain factor is lack of skilled labour as training associated with specific applications of gas leak detectors is essential, typically for personnel using portable gas leak detectors.
Global Gas Leak Detector Market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
COVID-19 has significantly disrupted almost all the industries including automotive, medical & healthcare, consumer electronics, clothing & textile, food & beverage, automation, manufacturing, aerospace & defence, oil & gas, construction, semiconductor, agriculture, and others. Pandemic outbreak could result in widespread health crises that adversely affects the economies of developed and emerging markets. Therefore, liquidity shortfall, cash crunch, changing customer demand, and others are factors restraining the growth of various sectors during the Covid-19 pandemic. The global gas leak detector market was affected, as many key players in the market had to temporarily closedown in order to safeguard health of their employees. Furthermore, on the supply chain side, unavailability of raw materials for manufacturing of components due to complete lockdown is a major restraint for the growth of the market. Due to delay in supply of raw materials and components, the manufacturing companies were unable to deliver the products in the market
