메탄 센서 시장 : 예측(2025-2030년)

The Methane Sensor Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.36% and is anticipated to reach US$718.983 million by 2030 from US$439.164 million in 2025.

Methane is a colorless and odorless gaseous compound. It is a highly flammable gas. When it is combined with other gases like oxygen, methane gas ignites. Methane sensors are devices that detect and quantify the presence of methane in the atmosphere either in volume percentage or in percentage of levels of LEL (lower explosive limit) gas.

The methane gas sensor market targets activities of development, production, and use of tools whose role is the estimation of methane (CH3) levels, among other physiochemical processes. These sensors are crucial in many sectors, such as in managing energy resources, ensuring personnel safety in industries, monitoring the environment, and identifying possible gas leaks. Because of these sensors, households and commercial premises function efficiently and safely while adhering to regulations.

Further, methane gas sensors use a variety of detection technologies, including electrochemical, infrared (IR), and catalytic bead, among others. Industrial safety systems commonly employ catalytic bead sensors due to their consistent ability to detect lower methane concentrations. Infrared sensors are highly sensitive and can be utilized in various contexts for long-term observation, while electrochemical ones feature accuracy but very specific applications.

Moreover, there has been an increase in the use of methane sensors predominantly because of the rising levels of pollution attributed to the emission of methane, especially in the energy sector. For instance, in 2022, nearly 135 million tons of methane emissions were caused by the energy sector, up slightly from the last year. About 5 million tons of leaks from end-use equipment and 40 million tons of emissions are attributed to the functioning of coal, oil, and natural gas.

Methane sensor market growth drivers

• Rising oil and gas production

The market for methane sensors will grow in the projected period owing to the rapidly growing oil and gas industry. Methane sensors are crucial in the oil and gas industry as they help monitor and detect leaks to ensure regulatory compliance, safety, and environmental responsibility. These sensors are deployed at pipelines, production sites, and storage facilities. The sensors help in providing real-time emission updates, allowing the operation to take immediate action. Additionally, with the launch of new and advanced sensors that have IoT integration, laser-based detection offers continuous monitoring and data analytics, which help in detecting leak detection accuracy and provide predictive maintenance.

Additionally, various projects undertaken by companies for methane detection are positively influencing the market growth of methane sensors in the coming years. For instance, in February 2024, on the occasion of India Energy Week 2024, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and TotalEnergies signed a cooperation agreement to carry out a methane emission detection and measurement campaign using TotalEnergies' pioneer technology, the Airborne Ultralight Spectrometer for Environmental Applications (AUSEA).

Furthermore, the consumption of petroleum and other natural gas is growing significantly, which is also fueling the market growth in the forecasted period. For instance, according to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), India's petrol consumption stood at approximately 4.44 million barrels per day (BPD) in FY23, up from 4.05 million barrels per day (BPD) in FY 2023.

Moreover, according to the Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas), the total crude oil processed by India was 21.6 million metric tons (MMT) in April 2024, which was 0.8% higher compared to April 2023. The PSU/JV refineries processed 14.5 MMT of crude oil, whereas the private refineries processed 7.1 MMT of crude oil.

Methane sensor market geographical outlook

• The Asia Pacific region is expected to witness significant growth in the methane sensor market.

The Asia-Pacific (APAC) region is expected to have the largest demand for methane sensors during the projected period. The growing urbanization and industrialization in emerging nations such as China and the increased use of methane sensors in wastewater treatment plants are fueling its demand.

Moreover, this market in China is greatly influenced by the rising demand for methane sensors, given the increasing regulatory focus on the emission of greenhouse gases. As China pledged to reach the goal of net zero emissions by 2060, the government has floated strict laws in different fields. This regulatory environment leads to the industrious development of better technologies in tracking and containing methane emissions. The various demographic variables are a strong incentive not only to follow the strict laws but also to improve environmental stewardship.

Other than the statutory considerations, the demand for methane sensors is also propelled by the oil and gas industry. For instance, China, the world's top crude oil importer, imported 11.3 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, 10% higher than in 2022, according to China customs statistics. Further, China's refiners imported unprecedented amounts of crude oil in 2023 to support its burgeoning refining capacity and generate feedstocks for its petrochemical industry. As per IEA, in 2023, China's primary crude oil imports were from Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Iraq. Russia, moreover, accounted for the highest volumetric rise in China's crude oil imports in 2023.

As for safety and efficiency, this sector is critical because methane leaks entail clear threats and may lead to economic losses. Therefore, companies are buying real-time detection equipment to ensure that methane emissions are controlled. This demand is also driven by the agricultural sector, for which there is increasing pressure on regulating methane produced by cattle and farming. Moreover, sensors in farming environments allow farmers to act more sustainably and improve control over pollutants.
