Non-disruptive infrared detects moisture, carbohydrates, proteins, and fat within a food, which enhances its adoption in food processing.
Growing demand for non-disruptive infrared in oil & gas storage is projected to drive the market in the coming years. Non-disruptive infrared is widely accepted in oil & gas storage to measure gas concentrations in the surrounding atmosphere, including CO2, CO, CH4, NO, and SO2. It enhances the safety of workers and workplaces, which increases its adoption in the oil & gas sector. Thus, increasing demand for oil & gas storage is propelling the market. For instance,
According to a report published, the global oil and gas storage sector was valued at USD2.97 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 3.54 billion in 2026,with an increase of 19 %.
Inability of non-disruptive infrared to detect hydrogen is projected to restrict the market during the forecast period. Hydrogen is a potentially dangerous gas in petroleum and mining extractions. Non-disruptive infrared is unable to detect hydrogen as it does not absorb infrared light. Moreover, NDIR sensors are susceptible to moderate changes in the environment temperature and function poorly in extreme environments, which encourages users to lessen their adoption. This hampers the global non-dispersive infrared market.
Increasing need for advanced alcohol detection sensors in the automotive and transportation industries creates an immense opportunity in the market. Companies in the market are developing inbuilt-alcohol detection sensors in vehicles based on non-disruptive infrared technology (NDIR), as the gas absorption of NDIR technology is very high, which reduces the judgment of error in alcohol testing.
