Leak Detection Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Component (Services, Equipment and Other Components), Medium, Product, Technology, End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Leak Detection Market is accounted for $2.4 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $4.4 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.6% during the forecast period. A leak detection system keeps an eye on both the leakage of other substances as well as the movement of water, chemicals, and other substances through a pipeline. When an unexpected circumstance is identified, the system interrupts the flow or issues an alert regarding the leak. In the oil and gas, chemical, water treatment, power generating, and other industries, leak detection systems are typically implemented. To locate the leak, specific leak detecting techniques were developed.
According to the International Energy Agency, reducing gas emissions such as methane from hydrocarbon operations is one of the most cost-effective and impactful methods to help reach global climate and environmental goals.
Market Dynamics
Driver:
Ongoing construction of new pipelines
Many projects on oil and gas pipelines have been performed globally, and many more are planned as global oil and gas consumption grows. In order to fulfil the rising demand for natural gas and oil, operators around the world are expanding their current pipeline networks and building new pipelines. These factors are propelling the growth of the market.
Restraint
Retrofitting complications related to some leak detection systems
Fiber-optic leak detection system retrofitting in existing pipes is challenging and expensive. For long pipelines, many interrogator units are needed. The price of installing sensor and interrogator systems goes up as a result. It is difficult to install interrogator devices and repair cables in these subsea pipes. These elements to some extent restrain market expansion.
Opportunity
Increasing oil & natural gas consumption
As global energy use rises, so does the need for oil and gas. Operators everywhere are building new pipes and enlarging their current networks to keep up with demand. Given the issues with the environment, exploration, and transportation, the corporations must abide by government restrictions. However, rising demand for leak detection and repair systems is also propelling the market further.
Threat
Lack of technological developments
A dependable leak detection system is necessary to quickly detect pipeline leaks in order to shut down the line, isolate the leak, start response procedures, reduce the amount of the spill, and mitigate the safety, environmental, and financial problems the leak may create. It is necessary to carry out continuous operations and quick leak detection with the recommended subsea leak detection systems. These factors are limiting the growth of the market.
Covid-19 Impact
Due to the type, product type, technology, and end user, COVID-19 had a detrimental effect on the leak detection market. Leak detection demand was influenced by economic uncertainty, a partial corporate shutdown, and poor consumer confidence. During the epidemic, the supply chain was impeded along with logistics operations. Yet, because of the relaxation of the constraints, it is anticipated that leak detection will pick up speed in the post-pandemic scenario.
The handheld gas segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The handheld gas detectors segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, due to their benefits like fast and reliable detection, compact and lightweight structures, and ease of use. Oil and gas businesses are increasingly looking for handheld gas detectors. Several gases, including methanol, carbon dioxide, ammonia, and methane, can be detected using these detectors. The market is expanding as a result of rising natural gas output and rising commerce in oil and gas products.
The oil & gas segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The oil & gas segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to they provide AI-based leak detection. Machine learning and artificial intelligence are frequently used by gas emission monitoring companies to better effectively detect infrastructure leaks. As a result, many oil and gas firms are attempting to replace the old leak detection solutions with technologically advanced ones.
Region with Largest share:
Asia Pacific is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the increase in demand for oil and oil products. It is anticipated that the market for LDAR will be driven by the rising global demand for oil and oil-related products. Systems for leak detection and correction are becoming more and more necessary as natural gas production rises. The subsequent expansion of oil and gas pipelines is expected to drive market growth in the region.
Region with highest CAGR
North America is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to to the presence of stringent government regulations and norms. The pipeline leak detection regulation requires the installation of a leak detection system on hazardous liquid pipelines. The government support for the oil and gas industries is also driving the country’s industrial growth. In addition, government subsidies to the oil and gas industries are also driving regional market growth.
