The USMCA will strengthen the competitiveness of all three trading partners while enhancing the development of North America’s globally competitive advanced manufacturing sector, particularly for North American steel producers. Such initiatives will create more opportunities for NIR Laser Based Gas analyzers during the forecast period 2020 – 2025. Moreover, TDLAS gas analyzers are used to monitor the hydrocarbon composition of various streams in the Petrochemical and Refining Industries.

Laser Based Gas Analyzer Market Driver

Need to Minimize Harmful Emissions

The price of energy and the demand for energy are continuously increasing. Therefore, industrialists are looking at optimizations in the energy industry's manufacturing phase. Continuous emissions of toxic gases as a result of different combustion processes are the other issue relevant to energy generation. The need to regulate the air-fuel ratio in power generation plants has become increasingly important as a consequence of each of these factors. TDLAS allow a wide range of measurements of combustion gases that are fast and accurate. They are systems of rapid response and have elevated spectral resolutions that can be achieved. In response to the assessed outcome, faster responses result in the elicitation of corrective behavior. Thus, the factors prove the importance of a TDLAS and are expected to drive TDLAS Market. TDLAS are compact, have high radiance forces, can be used in harsh climate conditions and can also be subjected to high pressures and temperatures. In addition, at higher frequencies, these can be easily modulated and have the capacity to have very low detection limits and are fast response systems. Improved measuring speed benefits from fast response times. Adding to the above factors, regular maintenance is not needed for a TDLAS. Compared to traditional gas analyzers, the overall cost of ownership associated with a TDLAS is considerably lower due to lower maintenance costs. This is expected to boost the market growth.

Increasing demand for Boiler, SCR technology and DeNOx systems in various industries

The increasing demand for SCR technology with DeNOX (Denitrification) systems for environmental protection reason will drive the adoption of TDLAS. Furthermore the growing need for an updated solution for pollution analysis, moisture analyzer, oxygen analyzer, residual gas analyzer, monitoring and carbonization in oil & gas, metal and cement industry is expected to propel the growth of Laser Based Gas analyzer market. In industries such as oil & gas, chemical & pharmaceutical, electricity, and other industries, boilers are widely used. As coal (fuel) is burned, certain traces of unburned carbon are released that are highly reactive and increase the amount of pollution. SCR applications also include plant and refining heaters and boilers in the chemical manufacturing industry, furnaces, coke ovens, as well as municipal waste plants and incinerators, in addition to coal-fired cogeneration and gas turbines. The supply of oxygen for proper combustion must be increased to reduce the emission of unburned fuel. TDLAS is used in different industries to measure the level of pollution at a variety of control points, such as boilers, DeNOx, and others. The growing number of projects in coal-based power plants need boilers, which are expected to drive the TDLAS market.  Countries are deeply concerned about reducing their carbon footprints by investing in upgrades and introducing new boilers. Likewise, the demand for DeNOx systems and services is driven by the growing stringency of regulations on the emission of NOx gases from industries.

Laser Based Gas Analyzer Market Challenges

High Lead Times

Lead time is the timeframe between when the consumer places an order and the date on which the products are available for use after installation. The lead time is measured as the difference between the date requested and the purchase order's actual receipt date. TDLAS manufacturing companies are ordered by process sectors such as cement, power, pulp and paper, fertilizer, and others. Some lead time for design and production is provided by TDLAS suppliers. Thus, prior to the realization of demand, the production lead time forces companies to make TDLAS production decisions. It takes time for TDLAS to be manufactured, transported through the supply chain, and distributed to the process sectors. At specific checkpoints, TDLAS is then installed in these industries. From orders to design, manufacturing, installation to the necessary location, this complete process takes a few weeks. Therefore the lead time is about a few weeks for TDLAS. There is more taken in to account by the TDLAS manufacturing firms, which is a big challenge for the Laser Based Gas Analyzer market.
