A gas sensor is an instrument which detects the concentration or presence of gases in the environment. Depending on the concentration of gas the sensor releases a corresponding difference by changing the resistance of the material which is present inside the sensor and it can be measured as output voltage. Working of gas sensor depends on the concentration of particular gases present in the atmosphere. The sensor provides a reference point and scale, which produces a measurable electric current when a chemical reaction occurs caused by a specific gas. These sensors are commonly used to detect explosive gases or toxic gases and also measure gas concentration. There are four types of gas sensors: electrochemical (echem), catalytic combustion, infrared (IR), photoionization detectors (PID). When these sensors sense gas, they convert input into a reading on the display displaying the level of gas exposure. 

Gas Sensor Market Dynamics

Increase in demand for gas sensors in critical industries is uplifting the market growth of gas sensors. Various industries such as mining, oil & gas, chemical and power make use of gas sensors to monitor and detect the presence of various toxic and combustible gases. Huge number of gases such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, ammonia and hydrocarbons are released into the air by these industries. Excess amount of emission of these gases can affect human health adversely. Moreover, there are some other explosive gases such as propane, butane, methane that might be released by different critical industries, which further may lead to chances of fire accidents. Government is investing huge amounts to secure ecosystem from various harmful gases. Intense pricing pressure is one of the major restraining factor of gas sensor market. While the huge spread application of gas sensors in HVAC systems, automobiles and consumer devices leads to growing shipments of these sensors, the sales growth is restrained by pricing pressure. Furthermore, rising price pressure results in a fall in average selling price (ASP) which Detroit revenue growth in the highly competitive gas market.

COVID 19 Impact on Magnetic Sensor Market

COVID-19 pandemic has spread across 215 countries worldwide affecting various industries worldwide. As the world is continuously fighting these crisis, various industries are experiencing the constant decline. Due to temporary lockdowns across various countries companies are facing acute cash flow issues. Slowing down and halting of manufacturing processes along with disruption in supply chain logistics worldwide owing to the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, have impacted the gas sensors market as well.
