Air quality sensors is segmented into physical, chemical and biological on the basis of pollutant type.  Chemical pollutant segment held the highest market share of air quality sensor in 2019. Moreover, it is anticipated to witness the significant market growth during the forecast period 2020-2025.The market growth is mainly attributed to the release of air pollutants from growing industries. Moreover emissions from automobiles also adds to the chemical pollutants of air. In January 2020, impact of cement plants on the environment was studied in Bihar, India. The assessment revealed that particulate matter concentration in the air was high in comparison to the WHO guideline of air quality. In March 2019, according to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the transportation sector is responsible for over 55% of nitrogen oxides (NOx) total emissions in the U.S, less than 10% of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emissions in the U.S, less than 10% of particulate matter PM2.5 and PM10 emissions in the U.S. 

Outdoor air quality sensor type segment held the highest market share for air quality sensor market in 2019. Moreover, this segment is forecasted to mark the significant growth during the forecast period 2020-2025 owing to its growing applications for monitoring the air quality deteriorated due to emissions from automobiles, power plants, factories and others. In September 2019, ZMOD4510 sensor was launched by Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT). This digital outdoor air quality sensor is software-upgradeable and is applicable for high volume. Gases including ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) is detected by this sensor. Moreover its small size accompanied with flexibility makes its adoptable for industrial applications thereby enhancing the market growth of air quality sensor.

North America held the highest market share of the air quality sensor market in 2019. This is due to the rising air pollution and its impact on health of the people. Estimation of new cases for lung cancer in United States for the year 2020 is predicted to be about 228,820 (116,300 in men and 112,520 in women) according to American Cancer Society’s. Moreover the statistics for death due to lung cancer include about 135,720 (72,500 in men and 63,220 in women). Furthermore, APAC region is anticipated to observe the significant market growth during the forecast period 2020-2025. Rapid industrialization and rising automobiles in developing countries adds pollution to the air at a faster rate. Rules and regulations are thereby framed by governments to curtail the air pollution which in turn enhance the demand for air quality sensor and thus the market flourish. In January 2019, Seoul became APAC’s new centre for world health organization (WHO) to nurture healthier and safer environments and provide support to countries for protection of people’s health in a better way. In March 2019, a collaboration was made between CERC and Chinese air quality experts. This collaboration was made for monitoring Guangdong’s air pollution. Investments in this collaboration was made by Innovate UK and the Guangdong Science and Technology Department. Such collaborations and investments contributes to the enhancement of the market growth.

Rapid industrialization and urbanization across the globe adds to the air pollution and affects the flora and fauna globally. Air quality regulation is both an integral aspect of health and safety of living beings on this planet. For instance, the control of gas levels in breweries or dry food storage areas where carbon dioxide is produced as part of the fermentation cycle is vital for maintaining the health of workers. Consequently rising air pollution from various sources leads to the increase in demand for air quality sensor products thereby enhance the market growth.

Rules and regulations formulated by government for monitoring the quality of air in order to keep an eye on the rising air pollution so that proper measures could be taken to keep the pollution under control. Thus supportive government rules favours the market growth of air quality sensor.

Advancements in technologies for better air quality sensor products raises its cost and thereby pose a challenge to the market growth. Regions with low per capita income generally adopts the low cost air quality sensor products. Thus cost factor plays matters a lot for the market growth.

Technology launches, acquisitions, and R&D activities are key strategies adopted by players in the air quality sensor market. Air quality sensor driver market is expected to be dominated by major companies such as Figaro, SGX Sensortech, FIS, Honeywell, Siemens, Ogam Technology, GE Measurement & Control, Aeroqual, Dovelet Sensors, Winsen Electronic and among others.

In March 2019, the Thermo Scientific Tri-Plus 500 Gas Chromatography Headspace Autosampler was launched by Thermo Fisher Scientific. This benefits to the laboratories for their performance enhancement and faster assessment of the volatile organic compounds in all samples types.

In September 2019, acquisition of DynOptic Systems Ltd was made by Acoem Group for expansion of its air monitoring abilities with the tunnel sensor  equipment provided by the DynOptic Systems Ltd. Such acquisitions enhance the market growth of air quality sensor market by expanding the areas covered for monitoring air quality.
