The global toxic industrial chemical detector market is projected to show steady growth during the forecast period.
Toxic industrial chemical (TIC) detectors are devices designed to detect and identify hazardous chemical substances in industrial environments. These detectors are intended to provide real-time monitoring and alert users to the presence of toxic chemicals through visual or audible alarms. They can also detect the concentration of TICs in the air and provide information about their type and level of toxicity. Such detectors are widely utilized in numerous sectors such as chemical and petroleum, oil and gas, energy power, defence, and civil sectors. Favourable government investment and new chemical manufacturing plant establishment are the major driving forces behind the global toxic industrial chemical detector market growth.
The toxic industrial chemical detector is essential for ensuring safety and preventing hazardous incidents in chemical manufacturing facilities. This is because it provides an early warning system for potential toxic substance leaks or spills by continuously analysing and allowing for prompt action. This proactive approach helps to prevent accidents, protect workers' health and well-being, and reduce environmental risks. The growing demand for chemicals in various sectors led to the establishment of new chemical production facilities. For instance, in November 2023, Vink Chemicals started construction of its latest chemical manufacturing plant in Schwerin, Germany, with an investment of 30 million euros.
With the ability to detect a wide range of toxic industrial chemicals, these advanced systems serve as an invaluable early warning system for chemical warfare agents (CWA), hazardous industrial spills, and potential terrorist attacks involving hazardous substances. Due to their advanced capabilities, several governments are investing in the adoption of chemical detectors to bolster their defence sector. For instance, in October 2023, the UK Ministry of Defence signed a contract with Smiths Detection Company with an investment of £88 million to protect the UK Armed Forces. Under the contract, UK company Smiths Detection will create three next-generation chemical detector products for the Ministry of Defence, which will be operational by 2028.
The development of advanced sensor technologies and smart feature integration has greatly enhanced the detection capabilities of industrial chemical detectors and has significantly improved the accuracy, reliability, and efficiency of toxic industrial chemical detectors. Technological advancements & innovations by market players have contributed to the adoption of these detectors across a variety of industries. For instance, Bruker offers RAID-P, which is a durable, adaptable, and portable instrument built with trusted Bruker technology that can be used standalone or mounted in vehicles to detect all CWAs and threat TICs. It is designed for use in harsh conditions and features continuous and automatic detection as well as advanced detection sensors.
North America is expected to account for a sizable share of the global toxic industrial chemical detector market, owing to several new establishments and technological advancements in the region. For instance, the United States and Canada have a well-established research and development infrastructure, which allows for continuous innovation and technological advancements in toxic chemical detection that pushed the market upward in the region. Likewise, investment in the oil & gas sector has also propelled the market growth. For instance, in January 2023, ExxonMobil announced a $560 million investment to build Canada's largest renewable diesel facility, which has a capacity to produce 20,000 barrels of renewable diesel every day.
High costs associated with toxic industrial chemical detectors can be a barrier for businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or those with limited budgets. The initial investment, maintenance, and calibration costs may make it difficult for businesses to implement these detectors on a large scale, which may hinder market growth.
