By the end of 2026, North America will account for more than 30% of global control valve market volumes. The report also observes that control valve manufacturing will remain concentered in the Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ). Over the forecast period, the APEJ control valve market is assessed to expand at the highest volume CAGR of 5.8%.
Global gas leak detector market to reach $3.1 billion by the end of 2020
According to a report from Persistence Market Research, the global gas leak detectors market accounted for $2.3 billion in 2014. The global gas leak detector market is expected to reach $3.1 billion by the end of 2020, representing a CAGR of 5.29% through 2015 to 2020.
Key driving factors, identified in the global gas leak detectors market are stringent government safety norms, growing investment in oil and gas and chemical Industries and increasing commercial and residential infrastructure development. However, lower profit margin due to intense competition deferred investments in oil and gas might pose a challenge towards the growth of the global gas leak detector market. Some of the major trends identified in the global gas leak detector market are the use of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial neural network technology and gas leak detectors.
From a regional perspective, North America, Latin America, Eastern Europe and Western Europe together contributed 50% of the global gas leak detector market value in the year 2014. Whilst Asia Pacific excluding Japan contributed total 35%, making it the largest geographical segment in the global gas leak detector market. The Middle East and Africa gas leak detector market are projected to grow at promising CAGR of 6.27% through the forecast period.
From the product type perspective, portable type gas leak detectors accounted a leading share in the global gas leak detector market value in 2014, which is projected to remain dominant throughout the forecast period. The fixed type gas leak detector market is projected to exhibit CAGR of approximately 3.8% for the year 2015 to 2020.
On the basis of technology type, the electrochemical-based gas leak detector is the predominant segment with a total share of about 38%, whille the ultrasonic, semiconductor and infrared based gas leak detector cumulatively accounted for 46.6% in the global gas leak detector market value in 2014. When compared with other remaining technology segment, the infrared based gas leak detectors is projected to grow at higher CAGR of 6.3% over the forecast period.
From an application perspective, the industrial application segment of the gas leak detector is the largest segment of the global gas leak detector market in 2014. Out of the sub-segment oil and gas is the major segment, holding the largest market share as compared with other remaining sub-segments. On the other hand, the market value accounted in the year 2014 by commercial establishment application segment is approximately 2.5 times of the value registered by the residential segment. Others application segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.1% from 2015 to 2020.
Industry 4.0 to revolutionize the use of safety sensors and switches globally, study finds
According to a study by Persistence Market Research, the global safety sensors and switches market is projected to expand at a meteoric rate to register a value CAGR of 10.7% between 2017 and 2025. In 2017, the global market for safety sensors and switches was valued at around $13.8 billion and is estimated to touch a valuation higher than $30 billion by the end of the period of forecast.
Autonomous robotics and sensors technology are expected to be implemented in industries by the end of 2025.
