Portable Gas Detection Equipment Market size was over USD 4.37 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to cross USD 7.37 billion by 2037, growing at more than 4.1% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2025-2037. In the year 2025, the industry size of portable gas detection equipment is estimated at USD 4.51 billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing adoption of wireless gas detectors over rising gas demand and stringent safety regulations across various industries. In addition to that, the increasing demand for natural gas and growing usage in commercial and residential settings are boosting the demand for portable gas detection equipment. According to International Energy Agency (IEA), global natural gas production was 4115 billion cubic meters in 2019.
Portable gas detection equipment is used to detect combustible gases in order to maintain safety, along with detecting oxygen deficiency in confined spaces, known and unknown gas hazards such as toxic gases, and vapors among others which cannot be detected by the human senses. They are beneficial in the hard-to-reach environment and are most significantly installed at comparatively low prices. Furthermore, with rising prices of petroleum, natural gas is progressively being used as an automobile fuel, increasing the number of natural gas filling stations that require gas detection equipment to prevent gas leakage which can lead to serious accidents. As of 2019, there were over 28 million natural gas vehicles worldwide, while the number of natural gas filling stations was over 33 thousand.

The global portable gas detection equipment market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product type into wearable gas detectors and non-wearable gas detectors. Out of these types of portable gas detection equipment, the wearable gas detectors segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the increment in customer comfort, ease of use, operator safety, and the provision of higher air quality monitoring systems. The wearable gas detectors segment is projected to witness the highest growth on the back of its popularity and heavy usage across industrial applications. Wearable gas detectors are used to prevent the emission of hazardous gases from vehicles that can cause severe respiratory diseases in the global population. For instance, in 2020, nearly 10,000 million metric tons of carbon was emitted in China alone. The mixing of these pollutants in the air has become a global issue and governments of various nations along with countless organizations are working in this field to make environmental pollution free which is anticipated to be a major factor to drive the growth of the market over the forecast period.
The global portable gas detection equipment market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by the end-user industry into oil & gas, mining, building automation, and others. Amongst these segments, the oil & gas segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2037. Portable gas detection equipment is heavily installed in oil & gas mills and mines to prevent any unpleasant accidents that can endanger the lives of workers and people living in nearby areas. For instance, it was estimated in 2020, nearly 600,000 cases of gas leaks are reported annually across the globe. Portable gas detection equipment is generally installed in oil refineries, gas turbine & power generation, wells & oil drilling sites, and others. Hence, such a higher utilization of portable gas detection equipment in the oil & gas industry is expected to drive the segment growth over the forecast period.

The North American portable gas detection equipment market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the rising demand for gas detectors in the oil & gas industry and improved infrastructural developments in the region. The market in the U.S. is expected to be the largest in size on the back of the higher production rate of shale gas, along with technological advancements in the extraction process. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), U.S. shale gas production reached 25,556 billion cubic feet in 2019 which further reached 26,139 billion cubic feet in 2020.
The market in the Asia-Pacific region is projected to emerge as the fastest-growing market by obtaining a market share during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed to the high demand for wireless gas detectors and the increasing adoption of natural gas led by India and China, where gas benefits from strong policy support. The industrial sector in these countries is the main source of demand, which is aspiring to double the consumption of gases to reduce their import dependence. The industrial sector in India is set to represent 36% of the incremental gas demand growth in the region between 2019 and 2025, as per the IEA.
The Middle East & Africa region is expected to witness moderate market growth over the forecast period owing to the adoption of wireless gas detectors in the mining and oil exploration industry as countermeasures required for a safer workplace. Furthermore, the presence of larger resources of oil and gas in this region triggers higher production resulting in the heavy demand for the installation of portable gas detection equipment in the mills and mines. Hence, all these factors are anticipated to enlarge the market size in the region over the forecast period.
Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA introduced a new flexible and cost-efficient wireless gas detection solution for plants that can continuously monitor toxic gases and oxygen, covering a spectrum of 140 different hazardous gases.
Honeywell International, Inc. announced the release of two new next-generation open-path gas detectors that can be connected via Bluetooth. They use advanced optics and high-powered IR technology and can monitor continuous dangerous gases even in fog, rain, snow, and other inclement weather conditions.
