The total value of the global non-dispersive the infrared market was USD 540 million in 2022, and it will rise at a growth rate of above 7.4%, shortly, reaching USD 956 million.

The surge in demand for sensors in critical industries and the increasing focus on carbon dioxide detection in the food storage and processing sector are key factors driving this development. Non-dispersive infrared instruments prove to be well-suited for detecting hazardous gases in chemical industries, aiding in the reduction of leaks and ensuring the safety of both the facility and its workforce. Over time, regulatory bodies have enforced more stringent rules for factory safety, leading to a projected rise in the demand for NDIR analyzers as industries strive to comply with these regulations.

On the basis of gas type, carbon dioxide leads the industry, this is mainly because of the growing NDIR carbon sensor demand in numerous sectors, such as transportation and automotive, environmental conservation, greenhouse, agriculture, medical, oil and gas, and food processing & storage. Precisely, in the automotive and transportation industry, they are utilized in vehicles in order to examine cabin air standards, CO2 content, and refrigerant levels in vehicle exhaust.

In the majority of nations, the utmost concentration of alcohol with which an individual is permitted to drive is 0.08 grams per decilitre (g/dL). As per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), approximately 11,654 individuals in the U.S. expired in 2020 in accidents because of drunken driving, equalling a surge of 14% from 2019.

In recent years, the Asia-Pacific region is dominating the non-dispersive infrared industry, and the region is also projected to be dominant throughout the forecast period. This is mainly because of the growing count of medium and small-sized manufacturers, along with the growing expenditure in the growth of the internet of things-based NDIR analyzers.

The security of employees is vital in nearly all industries. In the oil & gas, mining, fertilizers, and chemicals industries, specific, dangerous working atmospheres prevail. During the removal and refining of oil and gas and the processing of chemicals, numerous poisonous gases, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride are produced.

Hence, the growing requirement for sensors in serious industries and the growing emphasis on carbon dioxide finding in the food storage and processing sector are the major factor contributing in the growth of the non-dispersive infrared market.
