Flame Detector Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report By Type (Fixed, Portable), By Technology (UV, IR, MSIR), By End-use (Oil & Gas, General Industry), By Region, And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2030

Report Overview

The globalflame detector market size佤邦s estimated atUSD 927.8 million in 2022,预计年复合增长的恶性肿瘤h rate (CAGR) of 7.3% from 2023 to 2030. A flame detector uses sensors to detect and respond to the presence of a flame. These detectors are used to identify smoke and smokeless liquid that can initiate open fire. The rising adoption of flame detectors in industries, such as oil & gas, manufacturing, processing, transportation, and mining, owing to the growing emphasis on workplace safety and stringent government regulations related to fire safety is driving the market growth. Inaddition, the rising integration of the Internet of Things (IoT),big data, and advancements in flame-sensing technology are some of the major trends in the market.

The increasing demand for smart or intelligent fixed and portable flame detectors to deliver fast response times & high accuracy and the ability to detect flames in less time is propelling the growth of the market. For instance, in July 2021, the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) and HansunST, a KRISS-affiliated company, unveiled an intelligent fire detection system capable of detecting a fire within 10 seconds of its start. The system distinguishes between actual fires and fires used by humans. This intelligent detector has a remarkable ability to accurately sense even a small flame as tiny as 3 centimeters in size in the latent phase, promptly activating an alarm or sending an alert message via a smartphone application. Flame detectors can also detect fire according to the air movement and air temperature.

The flame detectors use Infrared (IR) or Ultraviolet (UV) technology to detect flames in less than a second. The flame detector responds to the detection of a flame according to its installation. For instance, these detectors can deactivate the fuel line, sound an alarm, or activate a fire suppression system. Thus, these features and benefits of flame detectors will help boost the market growth. Increasing demand for advanced technology-based flame detectors is further boosting the market’s growth. Two common and most popular optical flame detectors are a multi-spectrum infrared (MSIR) flame detector and a combination ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) flame detector. Unlike simple IR or UV detectors, MSIR and UV/IR flame detectors are sensitive to over one band on the energy spectrum and thus are less prone to produce a false alarm.

Both technologies perform effectively in indoor as well as outdoor environments and deliver a reasonably fast response time. Factors, such as high installation and maintenance costs, are some drawbacks of flame detection technologies that are expected to restrain the growth of the market. For instance, IR flame detectors are susceptible to producing false alarms under certain conditions of motion, heat, and gas emissions. The UV flame detectors are not ideal for environments that are dusty or contain airborne oil droplets. In addition, UV/IR flame detectors have certain limitations. They are not suitable for detecting fires that do not involve carbon combustion, and they only identify fires that emit both UV and IR radiation simultaneously rather than independently.

COVID-19 Insights

The global economy and the flame detector sector growth have been adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic has caused significant economic downturns and disruptions in the supply chain across many countries. To prevent the spread of the virus, governments worldwide implemented complete lockdowns, resulting in industry shutdowns and subsequent disruptions in the supply chain. The lockdowns also caused a shortage of labor and materials worldwide, leading to delays in the manufacturing and distribution of flame detectors. However, the increasing adoption of advanced technologies in industrial settings and increasing investment in the development of industrial and commercial sectors post-COVID-19 is expected to drive the market’s growth.

Type Insights

The fixed flame detector segment led the market and accounted for more than 94.0% share of the global revenue in 2022. A fixed flame detector is a stationary device designed to detect the presence of fires or flames in a specific area. These detectors are commonly used in chemical plants,gas turbines、飞机衣架和氢气存储和测试facilities where constant fire monitoring is essential for safety and security. In addition, they also provide detection for several applications in the petrochemical and oil & gas industries, including production and drilling platforms, refineries, LNG/LPG processing and storage facilities, and many others.

便携式火焰检测器段预计to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. A portable flame detector is a handheld device used to detect the presence of fires or flames. This detector allows the detection of UV flame in the field. The demand for portable flame detector devices is expected to increase in fire service applications. Moreover, the growing demand for portable devices from firefighters, emergency responders, and safety personnel to quickly detect flames or potential fire sources in different environments is driving the segment’s growth.

Technology Insights

The ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) flame detectors segment dominated the market and accounted for more than 41.0% share of the global revenue in 2022. A UV/IR flame detector consists of a UV and IR sensor. The UV sensors are responsible for detecting UV radiation radiating from flames, while the IR sensors monitor the infrared emissions. The adoption of UV/IR flame detectors is increasing in several industries as they provide a rapid response time and increased false alarm immunity against radiation sources for reliable protection.

The MSIRflame detectors segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. MSIR flame detectors employ multiple infrared wavelengths to differentiate flame-related radiation from other non-flame sources.They have the widest & longest detection distances, improved false alarm immunity, and are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. This technology is ideal for detecting fires from flammable substances, such as n-heptane, alcohol, jet fuels, hydrocarbons, and gasoline.

End-use Insights

The oil & gas segment accounted for over 14.0% share of the global revenue in 2022 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR over the forecast period. Across various settings, ranging from gas stations to oil rigs, the oil & gas sector faces numerous fire hazards. Storage tanks containing flammable materials are vulnerable to vapor leakage, which could potentially lead to fire ignition. Loading and unloading these flammable substances is highly dangerous. Thus, increasing demand for advanced flame detection systems in the oil & gas industry to detect leaks to enable rapid response and reduce the risk of fire incidents is driving the segment’s growth. Furthermore, the rising product adoption in floating roof tanks, fixed roof tanks, oil & gas rigs, gas stations, pumping stations, and LNG & LPG facilities is boosting the segment growth.

The general industry segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The general industry segment is further divided into automotive, electrical & electronics,textile, pulp & paper, metal manufacturing, chemical, and others. In these industries, there are numerous situations where risks of fire ignition are high. For instance, in the automobile manufacturing process, a variety of flammable gases are present. Furthermore, engine test benches can reach extremely high temperatures. Also, hydrogen-powered vehicles have the risk of fire ignition both during parking and refueling. Thus, increasing the installation of suitable flame detection systems in the automotive industry as a preventive measure against fires and the resulting damages is boosting the segment’s growth.
