The need for portable gas detection devices continues to rise as regulatory bodies and the public push for better air quality and stronger workplace safety practices. Industries with significant exposure risks, such as chemical production, mining, oil and gas, face heightened oversight, which is accelerating the adoption of handheld detection devices. Businesses are becoming more aware of how hazardous gas leaks can threaten workers’ health and harm the surrounding environment, prompting investments in reliable detection systems. Portable gas detectors are increasingly viewed as essential tools for ensuring compliance with safety standards, mitigating toxic exposure, and reducing operational liabilities. Improved awareness and stricter enforcement of occupational health guidelines are reinforcing the demand for advanced detection technologies across industrial sectors.
The multi-gas portable detectors generated USD 1.8 billion in 2025 and are projected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2026 to 2035. Their ability to detect multiple hazardous gases at once has made them the standard among industries that require comprehensive monitoring, especially in environments with complex gas exposure risks.
The conventional portable gas detectors held a 72% share in 2025 and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% through 2035. Their popularity persists due to affordability, ease of operation, and straightforward maintenance, making them suitable for businesses operating under budget constraints or limited technical support capabilities. These detectors continue to serve as dependable options in settings that require baseline gas monitoring.
