Global Portable Gas Detection Equipment Market Size, Forecast, and Trend Highlights Over 2025-2037
Portable Gas Detection Equipment Market size is predicted to rise from USD 4.37 billion to USD 7.37 billion, reflecting a CAGR of over 4.1% during the forecast timeline, from 2025 through 2037. In the year 2025, the industry size portable gas detection equipment is evaluated at USD 4.51 billion.
The growth of the portable gas detection equipment market can be attributed to the rising usage of the equipment in safely transporting LPG gas. In case of any leak, the portable sensor detects and alerts the user in less than 5 minutes. Additionally, global governments are setting targets to curb the emission of greenhouse and including strict regulations to handle the rate of emission. According to the United Nations, greenhouse emissions need to be reduced by 45% by 2030 and achieve net 0 by 2050. The portable gas detection is ideal for detecting gases such as methane and carbon dioxide. These types of equipment successfully determine the concentration and absorb specific wavelengths.
Portable Gas Detection Equipment Sector: Growth Drivers and Challenges
Growth Drivers
- Growing air pollution across the globe: According to the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund, air pollution was the second leading risk factor for death among children under 5 in 2021. Various countries are using gas detection systems to measure and display the presence of gases in the air. Gas detection equipment is extremely useful in monitoring air quality and is installed in vehicles, factories, and mines.
- Rising incidences of gas leakage: According to the U.S. PIRG Education Fund a gas pipeline incident occurs in the U.S. almost every 40 hours. It has been estimated there are more than half a million leaks in local gas distribution systems in the country. Additionally, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates that more than 260 billion cubic meters of gas was wasted globally in 2021 due to venting, flaring, and leaking. Governments are using practices to curb these incidents. Hence, the demand for the installation of gas detection equipment is estimated to spike.
Challenges
- High cost of portable gas detection equipment and sensors: Portable gas detection equipment is quite expensive to install and the middle-class population is projected to find it difficult to install this equipment in their households. Additionally, most people are not aware of the equipment leading to less purchase of the device.
- Reduced investment due to low-profit margins: It has been estimated that there are low-profit margins are obtained by the portable gas detection equipment market players. This leads to lesser investments from the market players. Also, there are stringent regulations related to the distribution of the equipment.

Portable Gas Detection Equipment Segmentation
Type (Wearable Gas Detectors, Non-wearable Gas Detectors)
The wearable gas detectors segment is estimated to gain the largest portable gas detection equipment market share by 2037, attributed to the rise in customer comfort, ease of use, operator safety, and the provision of higher air quality monitoring systems. 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, according to Carbon Brief in 2020, 12.3 billion of carbon dioxide was emitted. The mixing of these pollutants in the air has become a global issue and governments of various nations along with organizations are working in this field to curb these emissions.
End-user (Oil & Gas, Mining, Building Automation)
The oil & gas segment in portable gas detection equipment market is expected to garner a significant share by 2037. Portable gas detection equipment is installed in oil & gas mills and mines to prevent accidents that can endanger the lives of workers and people living in nearby areas. According to ACS Publications, it has been estimated that 630,000 leaks in the U.S. mains.

North America Market
The North America portable gas detection equipment market is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2037. The growth of the market can be attributed 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 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, in 2023, 37.87 trillion cubic feet of total U.S. dry natural gas production was from shale gas.
Asia Pacific Market Analysis
The Asia-Pacific region is projected to emerge as the fastest-growing portable gas detection equipment market by obtaining a revenue share during the assessed period. The growth of the market can be ascribed to the increasing adoption of natural gas led by India and China, where the gas extraction process benefits from strong policy support. According to the Gas Exporting Countries Forum, the natural gas demand in Asia Pacific is anticipated to reach 1,590 billion cubic meters by 2050. Additionally, 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.
In India, there are rising efforts to curb the cases of gas leakage. It has been estimated that in 2023, gas leak incidents rose to 30. Portable gas detection equipment is proven to be an efficient tool to prevent such incidents. Additionally, the Middle East & Africa region is projected to witness moderate market growth owing to the adoption of wireless gas detectors in the mining and oil exploration industry as countermeasures required for a safer workplace.
