Air Quality Sensor Market Overview

An air quality sensor is a device that measures the concentration of pollutants in the air. It is an essential component of the air purifier and fresh air system. Air quality sensors can usually measure particulate matter (such as pm1, pm2.5, and pm10), gases (such as ozone, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, methane, formaldehyde, and others), and some environmental indicators (such as temperature, humidity, UV, illumination, and so on). The air quality sensor detects gas and particulate matter indicators in the air using optical, electrical, thermal, and other methods.

Air Quality Sensor Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in Air Pollution to Favor Market

Air pollution has increased along with the addition of toxins like particulate matter due to growing industrialization. Governments in several countries have implemented stringent regulations in their respective areas and devised diverse measures to mitigate air pollution originating from industrial sites. In addition, governments in a number of countries, including the US, India, and Canada, install air quality sensors in power plants, oil and gas, and automobiles in order to manage and track pollution levels. By using outdoor air quality monitoring, factories can control their emission rates by keeping an eye on the air quality index around their industrial units.

Benefits of air quality sensors

With the rising environmental concerns worldwide, there is a need to continuously monitor the air quality to take certain actions to minimize its effects on the environment. Therefore, the demand for air quality sensing technologies is gaining traction due to several benefits they offer. It helps to create a healthy environment by monitoring indoor/outdoor air conditions in real-time. The air quality sensors are easy to install and connect easily with the mobile and computer where it display the air quality results. It can detect a wide range of parameters such as temperature, air pressure, humidity, and more. With the continuous technological advancements, the accuracy of these sensors is improving, leading to its demand by several players in wide industries such as government agencies and academic institutes, commercial and residential users, petrochemical industry, power generation plants, pharmaceutical industry, smart city authorities, and others. Thus, to cater to this demand, market players launch solutions that drive the air quality sensor market. For example, in June 2021, Vaisala launched a world-class air quality sensor complementing its monitoring solution to enhance quality of life, safety, efficiency, and sustainability in communities.
