화염 감지기 : 시장 점유율 분석, 산업 동향, 통계, 성장 예측(2025-2030년)

The flame detector market size stood at USD 1.68 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 2.07 billion by 2030, translating into a 4.26% CAGR.

A sizable installed base across hydrocarbon facilities will keep replacement demand steady, while new installations are shifting toward lithium-ion battery warehouses, data centers and green-hydrogen electrolyser plants where hydrogen flames create novel sensing challenges. Stricter global safety rules-most notably the latest ATEX Zone-0 update that elevates SIL-2 certification to a baseline requirement-are nudging buyers toward multi-spectrum infrared (IR) and AI-equipped visual imaging detectors that minimise nuisance alarms and downtime. LNG mega-train construction in Qatar and Saudi Arabia is broadening project pipelines and setting higher performance benchmarks that favour premium solutions. In parallel, North American insurance carriers are linking coverage terms to ultra-low false-alarm specifications, effectively steering procurement toward advanced, diagnostics-rich devices that lower both operational risk and total cost of ownership.

Global Flame Detectors Market Trends and Insights

LNG mega-train construction boosting multi-spectrum IR adoption

Middle Eastern LNG projects such as the North Field expansion and Jafurah gas development require detectors that can track hydrocarbon fires across wide separators and storage tanks. Plant owners are specifying multi-spectrum IR units to overcome solar radiation interference, a mandate that is elevating premium vendors with multi-band optical arrays and built-in diagnostics. Unmanned process areas reinforce the need for 99.9% device availability, and asset-integrity teams are migrating from time-based to condition-based maintenance models that rely on embedded health monitoring.

Lithium-ion battery data-center demand under FM 5560

FM 5560 now sets detection rules for energy-storage arrays, prompting hyperscale operators to retrofit existing sites with multi-criteria flame detectors that recognise electrolyte off-gas signatures before thermal runaway escalates. The 2024 International Fire Code adds NFPA 855 obligations, tightening compliance timelines for facilities exceeding 50 kWh of installed storage. System integrators are embedding AI classifiers that learn normal battery-module heat profiles to avoid spurious trips that may sideline revenue-critical compute clusters.

Low-cost Chinese IR cameras eroding premium revenue

Thermal-imaging vendors from China are releasing IR flame detectors priced 40-60% lower than Western equivalents, gaining traction in mid-tier industrial sites that do not mandate SIL-2 ratings . Western manufacturers are countering with lifecycle cost models that monetise false-alarm reductions and longer service intervals.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. ATEX and IECEx Zone-0 revisions mandating SIL-2 detectors
2. Offshore FPSO retrofits adopting AI-enabled visual imaging
3. Dirty-optics downtime limiting underground-mining uptake

Segment Analysis

Infrared devices captured 41.8% of 2024 revenue, underpinning the flame detector market with a long record of hydrocarbon-fire reliability. Adoption persists in refineries, terminals and petrochemical plants where users value proven single-channel optics. Yet the multi-spectrum IR sub-category is forecast to expand at 5.2% CAGR because it blends three or more wavelength bands to reject solar glare and hot-surface reflections. Operators in unmanned LNG trains see the higher capital spend as justifiable insurance against costly process shutdowns. Visual flame imaging is growing fastest as algorithms mature and price points fall, allowing simultaneous detection and root-cause analytics. UV detectors remain the niche solution for hydrogen or metal-combustion risks, while combined UV/IR units balance performance and cost in mixed-fuel installations.

In tandem, AI-ready sensor firmware is turning detectors into edge-computing nodes that self-diagnose lens obscuration and optical degradation. Remote firmware upgrades further shorten maintenance cycles. This trend is nudging engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) teams to specify cloud-connected devices despite cybersecurity reservations. The flame detector market benefits because predictive analytics underpin value-added service agreements that stretch beyond warranty periods, boosting aftermarket margins for manufacturers with integrated software roadmaps.

Fixed detectors delivered 86.7% of 2024 billings and remain the backbone for continuous zone coverage in process areas, jetty off-loading points and compressor stations. Layouts rarely change over asset lifecycles, keeping demand tied to replacement and regulatory upgrades rather than greenfield projects. Portable detectors, however, are accelerating at a 6.1% CAGR as operators adopt test-before-touch safety procedures. Inspection teams validate fixed-system integrity during turnarounds without halting production, and first responders carry handheld units to quickly assess unknown scenes.

Battery density improvements have doubled mission time for portable devices while maintaining sensitivity parity with fixed platforms. Rugged enclosures and intrinsically safe ratings now enable safe use in Zone-1 locations. The result is a complementary relationship rather than a competitive one: rising portable uptake does not cannibalise fixed demand but instead banks additional revenue on every maintenance cycle. The flame detector market therefore gains two revenue streams from the same installed base: capital expenditure on fixed points and operational expenditure on portable verification equipment.

The Flame Detectors Market Report is Segmented by Product Type (Ultraviolet (UV), Infrared (IR), and More), Mounting Type (Fixed Flame Detectors, and More), Service (Design, Installation and Commissioning, and More), Communication/Loop (Addressable (Smart) Detectors, and More), End-User Industry (Oil and Gas, Manufacturing and Process Industries, and More), and Geography.

Geography Analysis

North America led the flame detector market with 32.4% of 2024 revenue, supported by insurance mandates that link policy premiums to ultra-low false-alarm rates. Mature refining and chemical assets drive steady replacement cycles, and new rules under FM 5560 are expanding detector counts per facility. The region also pioneers addressable smart loops, backed by cybersecurity frameworks that assure underwriters and regulators of network resilience.

The Middle East shows the highest 6.2% CAGR forecast to 2030 thanks to USD 200 billion in LNG expansions that require stringent flame supervision across train, storage and jetty areas. Harsh desert conditions favour stainless-steel housings, window heaters and optical diagnostics that predict sand abrasion. Successful deployments in Qatar are migrating to neighbouring GCC states, creating a technology lighthouse effect that shapes global specifications.

Europe continues to invest in detector retrofits to comply with the updated ATEX Zone-0 and SIL-2 mandates. Multinational petrochemical operators are standardising on the same certified model across global sites, amplifying replacement demand beyond the continent. Asia-Pacific's growth rests on industrial electrification agendas, notably Japan and South Korea's hydrogen roadmaps that elevate UV/IR detector counts in electrolyser halls.. South America's offshore pre-salt finds need AI-enabled visual imaging to discriminate flare bundles from deep-sea production decks.
