Digital Olfactory Technology Market Dynamics

Market Driver

• Rising use of E-nose technology for quality assurance, storage, and production in food industry

Electronic noses have recently emerged as a potential technology for a number of food quality control and tracking applications, including microbial contamination detection, and the industry is likely to grow. Chemical and biosensor technologies have arisen as options for food quality management due to their ease of use, low cost, rapidity, and excellent correlation with sensory panels.

Electronic noses (ENs) are scent detection devices that combine semi-selective gas sensors with a pattern-recognition algorithm. Process monitoring, freshness evaluation, shelf-life study, authenticity determination, and product traceability are all done with e-noses in the food business. As a result, the market is likely to be driven by the growing use of E-nose technology in the food industry for quality assurance, storage, and production.

• Increasing R&D activities to develop an e-nose to detect COVID-19

Many countries are focused on developing portable technology, such as e-nose, that can detect people with COVID-19 based on the disease's particular smell signature. Research and development advances are expected to have a substantial impact on the healthcare industry.

Based on previous research with a general E-nose, it's thought that an optimized E-nose can provide accurate real-time diagnoses in areas like airports, workplaces, and cultural events, potentially aiding social and economic recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the market is predicted to grow as R&D activities to create an e-nose to detect COVID-19 increase.

Market Restraint

High cost associated with digital olfactory technology and Unpredictability of air flow

The high cost and cheap availability of replacements for detecting explosives in military and defense applications are projected to stifle the growth of the digital olfactory technology industry. The adoption of electronic noses has stalled significantly in numerous industries because to their exorbitant cost.

The high cost of an electronic nose is a major concern that is limiting the market's growth to some extent. Scents are nice on their own; nevertheless, when blended, they are unpleasant. As a result, the market is likely to be restrained during the projection period due to the unpredictability of air flow.

Market Opportunity

Growth opportunities of E-noses in environmental monitoring, and Applications of E-nose in security and military sectors

Analysis of environmental quality parameters, process control, and evaluation of odor control system efficiency are all examples of applications in the environmental field. The majority of electronic noses are used for air analysis. They are used to determine the water's purity. In these cases, the characteristics of the water are recognized by using an electronic nose in the head space above the water or equipment with a matrix of liquid sensors that function similarly to human taste sensors.

As a result of the market's increasing potential for E-noses in environmental monitoring, the market grew. In the security and military sectors, as well as for illness diagnosis, digital olfactory technology is used. As a result, in both public and military circumstances, police and military personnel use digital scent technology to detect bombs.

The use of fragrances as password generators is a novel method to security that has been developed and tested. It is anticipated to open up new market opportunities for dozens of OTT platforms with more paying subscribers in the future.

Digital Olfactory Technology Market Segmental Outlook

In terms of types, the digital olfactory technology market is segmented into E-nose and scent synthesizer.

The hardware segment had a substantial market share in 2020 and is probable to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period, Modeling languages or programming are frequently used to describe hardware circuits as digital hardware design becomes more similar to software design. Additionally, adopting a hardware video wall controller provides high performance.

Based on applications, the digital olfactory technology market is segmented into entertainment, healthcare, food & beverage, environment, and others.
