Flare Monitoring Market Report 2025

The flare monitoring market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.43 billion in 2024 to $1.61 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.9%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to the acceleration of industrialization in developing nations, growing awareness of air pollution and its associated health risks, the implementation of stricter government regulations on gas flaring, a heightened focus on operational safety within oil and gas facilities, and the increasing demand for emission monitoring solutions.

The flare monitoring market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.59 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.5%. The growth anticipated during the forecast period can be attributed to the expansion of oil and gas exploration activities, a heightened emphasis on environmental compliance, the growing integration of automation in industrial processes, advancements in flare detection technologies, and the increasing demand for real-time emission monitoring systems. Key trends expected in the forecast period include progress in infrared and thermal imaging technologies, the use of advanced data analytics for real-time flare assessment, the emergence of AI-driven flare monitoring systems, innovations in wireless and remote monitoring solutions, and the evolution of tools aimed at emission reduction and regulatory compliance.

The increasing production of oil and gas is expected to drive the growth of the flare monitoring market in the coming years. Oil and gas production involves the extraction of petroleum and natural gas for energy use and industrial manufacturing. This sector is expanding due to the rising global demand for energy, driven by continued industrialization and the growth of transportation. Flare monitoring plays a vital role in oil and gas operations by enabling the detection and control of gas flaring, which supports operational efficiency and compliance with environmental regulations. For example, in June 2025, the Energy Information Administration, a U.S. government agency, reported that U.S. crude oil production reached a record high of 13.2 million barrels per day in 2024, representing a 2% increase compared to the previous record set in 2023. As a result, the growth in oil and gas production is contributing to the expansion of the flare monitoring market.

Leading companies in the flare monitoring market are focusing on developing advanced technologies such as flare gas capture and compression systems to help reduce emissions, improve energy recovery, and meet regulatory requirements. Flare gas capture and compression systems are technologies that collect low-pressure flare gases, compress them, and convert them into usable hydrocarbons rather than burning them off as waste. For instance, in May 2025, Steffes, LLC, an engineering company based in the United States, in collaboration with the Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) Foundation, a U.S.-based nonprofit corporation, launched the Polar Bear Compressor. This new system is designed to capture and compress gas that would otherwise be flared at well sites. It helps reduce routine flaring by converting flare gas into valuable oil and LNG products, thereby lowering emissions, supporting near-zero flaring goals, and enhancing resource recovery and operational performance, particularly at low-pressure, low-volume well sites.

In September 2024, KBC (A Yokogawa Company), a U.S.-based software technology firm, acquired Flaretot Limited for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition is intended to strengthen KBC’s capabilities in flare system design, simulation, and emissions reduction by incorporating Flaretot Limited’s specialized expertise and technology. This move enables energy and process industries to improve safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency while aligning with international sustainability objectives. Flaretot Limited is a UK-based engineering and software company specializes in flare monitoring.

The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sudden escalation of U.S. tariffs and the consequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are severely impacting the recreation sector, particularly in the supply of imported sports equipment, outdoor gear, and leisure products. Manufacturers and retailers are facing higher costs for items such as bicycles, camping gear, fitness machines, and gaming consoles, much of which are sourced from overseas with limited domestic alternatives. Small businesses operating in the recreational retail space are especially affected, with some reducing inventory or increasing prices to offset margin pressure. Event organizers and recreational facilities are also facing cost hikes for imported equipment and infrastructure materials. In response, the industry is exploring alternative sourcing from tariff-free regions, increasing reliance on local suppliers, and urging policymakers to consider exemptions for non-essential but widely used recreational products.

Flare monitoring involves the observation, measurement, and analysis of flaring activities, as well as the regulation of excess gas combustion released by industrial operations such as oil and gas refineries, petrochemical facilities, and natural gas processing plants. This process enables real-time tracking and assessment of gas flaring, assisting industries in maintaining environmental compliance, identifying equipment faults, and reducing harmful emissions during both routine procedures and emergency discharges.

The primary product types in flare monitoring include pipe flares, steam-assisted flares, gas-assisted flares, high-pressure flares, specialty flares, ring-of-fire flares, and others. Pipe flares are a basic type of flare system that utilizes a simple pipe to vent and combust surplus gases. Flare monitoring systems comprise various components such as hardware, software, and services, employing technologies like optical monitoring, infrared monitoring, ultrasonic monitoring, flame ionization detection, and laser monitoring. These systems are used in a range of applications including onshore and offshore oil and gas production sites, refineries, petrochemical facilities, and more, serving end users in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemicals, and others.
