Air Quality Monitoring System Market Dynamics
Driver: Favorable public & private initiatives for environmental conservation and public awareness
A number of favorable initiatives have been taken by government as well as non-government organizations and private sector to reduce and cut down air pollution through means of public awareness campaigns and programs. Such programs and initiatives not only help to raise awareness among common people, but also play an important role to bring the attention of international organizations to the current and future threat of air pollution that the world is facing. Many government and non-government organizations work continuously to bring the attention of national and international societies to the devastating effect of air pollution on the health of living beings and to the environment. Prominent public organizations involved in driving public awareness on environmental impacts of air pollution include the EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency), Clean Air in London (London), Coalition for Clean Air (California, US), Sierra Club (US), Union of Concerned Scientists (US), Mom’s Clean Air Force (US), Global Action Plan (International), Little Ninja (UK), Earthjustice (US), and German VCD (German Sustainable Transport Association). For example, in June 2021, WHO and UK Government recognized the National Clean Air Day and promoted activities such as car-free days, planting trees in public spaces, and reducing indoor emissions with simple changes like switching off lights or using energy-efficient appliances wherever possible. Also, in April 2021, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) partnered with the Republic of Korea’s Capital Metropolitan Area, which includes Seoul, Incheon, and Gyeonggi provinces, to help them expand their efforts to tackle air pollution in the region.
Restraint: High product cost
Due to budget constraints, governments and organizations may not be able to establish an adequate number of monitoring stations. As a result, some areas may lack monitoring coverage, leading to potential gaps in understanding pollution levels and sources. Regular maintenance and calibration are essential to ensure the accuracy and reliability of monitoring equipment. However, the cost of maintaining and calibrating the instruments can be prohibitive for some regions or municipalities.
Addressing the cost constraint often requires collaboration between governments, private sector entities, and non-governmental organizations. Some strategies to mitigate the high cost include:
Government support and funding: Governments can allocate resources and provide financial incentives to promote the installation and maintenance of air quality monitoring systems, particularly in areas with high pollution levels or vulnerable populations.
Public-private partnerships: Collaborations between public and private sectors can help share the cost burden and promote the development of more affordable monitoring solutions.
Opportunity: Continuous R&D and technological advancements
The continuous research and development, and commercialization of advanced AQM systems (such as miniaturized devices, nanotechnology-based systems, infrared spectroscopy, and remote-sensing instruments) are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for prominent as well as emerging players in the AQM industry. Consequently, various industrial players and research organizations are increasingly focusing on developing and commercializing advanced AQM products. For instance, nanotechnology based AQM products offer several procedural benefits, such as real-time monitoring capabilities, device miniaturization, increased analytical efficacy, and affordable manufacturing.
In the same line of advancements, a low-power gas sensor nano-chip has been developed by a team of international researchers making possible the development of personal air-quality monitoring devices. This nanochip sensor is based on a chemical-sensitive field-effect transistor (CS-FET) platform which is further based on 3.5-nanometer-thin silicon channel transistors.
