NDIR Market Trends & Dynamics
Driver: Need to contain methane leakage in oil & gas industry
In oil & gas industries, methane can leak into the air when it passes through faulty pipes or equipment during the production of natural gas. This leaked methane gas absorbs the sun’s heat and contributes to atmospheric warming. Methane leaks cause damage to the environment, and affect the health of workers, thus adversely impacting the business. Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) is an effective technology for measuring methane leaks as it does not rely on the presence of oxygen and there are no poisoning effects associated with the sensor. NDIR sensors have high selectivity and can accurately measure methane concentrations in a mixed gas background. They can also be used in low oxygen and inert environments.
Restraint: Time-consuming sensor development process
The increasing use of gas sensors in industrial, healthcare, and consumer electronics applications has led to the development of new and advanced products. However, this process is challenging as these sensors lack stability and reliability. The design and development of completely new and innovative gas sensors is also a time-consuming process, resulting in increased manufacturing costs. It requires substantial partnership effort from research institutes and companies dealing in gas sensors to ensure that the gas sensors meet stringent performance requirements and adhere to different environmental regulations. Calibration of these NDIR sensors for specific gases required by the industries is a time consuming process and oftentimes needs professional expertise to do.
Opportunity: Need for advanced alcohol sensors in automotive & transportation industry
Alcohol detection entails assessing the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of vehicle drivers. Adherence to the legal threshold of 0.08 grams per deciliter (g/dL) is imperative to ensure road safety and prevent severe accidents resulting in injuries or fatalities. While several methods like breath analyzer devices, alcohol sensors, urine, and blood tests are available for alcohol detection, some prove cumbersome and unhygienic, leading to inefficiencies in time management. Hence, there is a pressing need for an advanced detection technique that delivers swift and precise results to streamline the process effectively.
Challenge: Need for product differentiation to meet unique end-user requirements
Traditionally, broad beam IR sources were used in NDIR sensors. However, such NDIR sensors were expensive and bulky, and were eventually replaced by sensors with LED IR sources. This not only reduced the size of the sensor but also the cost, resulting in increased competition among NDIR sensor providers. Changing customer requirements are posing a challenge to players in the NDIR market. They are recognizing the need to differentiate their products from competitors through innovative and customized NDIR solutions that can detect a wider range of gases. IoT compatible NDIR sensors are the latest trend in the NDIR market, and some manufacturers are adding them to their product portfolios in a bid to meet changing customer requirements.

Market Definition
Non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) technology involves the optical measurement of gas concentration in the target application using infrared (IR) light and IR absorption wavelength band. In this, the IR light emitted by the IR source is absorbed by the molecules of the gas under measurement at a particular wavelength. A NDIR sensor has an IR source, optical filter, and IR detector. It measures the amount of IR light of specific wavelength that is absorbed by the surrounding air; this is used to calculate the concentration of that gas in the surrounding air. Small in size, with no moving parts, these sensors have a long lifespan. They are ideal for measuring the concentration of gases such as carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, refrigerant gases, acetylene, ethylene, anesthetic gases, and carbon monoxide. NDIR sensors are being increasingly used by industrial and manufacturing end-users.
