VOC sensors market to reach $0.52 billion by 2030

The global market for volatile organic compounds sensors and monitors is projected to grow from $0.31 billion in 2025 to $0.52 billion by 2030, according to The Business Research Company. Demand is rising as smart buildings, tighter emissions rules and air-quality monitoring needs push adoption across industrial and indoor environments.

Why it matters: - VOC sensors and monitors are becoming a core tool for tracking indoor and outdoor air quality. - The market’s growth reflects rising pressure on buildings and industrial sites to detect harmful emissions in real time. - The technology supports regulatory compliance, workplace safety and environmental monitoring.

What happened: - The Business Research Company projected the VOC sensors and monitors market will rise from $0.31 billion in 2025 to $0.35 billion in 2026. - The company said the market will reach $0.52 billion by 2030. - The forecast implies a 10.9% CAGR from 2025 to 2026 and a 10.5% CAGR from 2026 to 2030. - The release highlighted market research and report materials, including a free sample report and the full market report.

The details: - VOC sensors and monitors detect, quantify and track volatile organic compounds in air. - The devices use sensing technologies that provide real-time VOC data. - The tools are used for continuous air quality assessment, environmental monitoring and safety management. - Historical growth was driven by concern over indoor air quality, industrial emission monitoring, stricter environmental rules, workplace safety standards and air pollution detection systems. - Expected growth drivers include stricter VOC emission controls, wider use of smart air quality monitoring, greater demand for continuous environmental surveillance, more industrial leak detection and higher investment in air quality infrastructure. - The report expects more real-time VOC monitoring, more sensitive detection tools, portable monitors, multi-gas detection features and continuous measurement systems. - The report also added new 2026 features, including market attractiveness scoring, TAM analysis, company scoring matrices, Excel-based forecasting dashboards, market hotspot infographics, key technology analysis and updated graphics and tables.

Between the lines: - Smart building adoption is helping pull VOC monitoring deeper into everyday infrastructure, not just industrial settings. - Connected buildings can use VOC data to improve ventilation and reduce exposure risks, which raises the value of continuous monitoring. - The market outlook suggests buyers are shifting toward integrated, always-on sensing rather than periodic testing. - North America held the largest market share in 2025, while Asia-Pacific is projected to be the fastest-growing region. - The geographic coverage also includes South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East and Africa. - The release cited Ireland’s Central Statistics Office, which said 30% of internet users used internet-connected alarms, smoke detectors, security cameras and smart doorbells in October 2024, up from 17% in 2022.

What's next: - The market is expected to keep expanding through 2030 as air-quality monitoring becomes more automated and more tightly linked to building systems. - Demand should rise for portable devices and multi-gas platforms as buyers look for broader sensing in a single tool. - Asia-Pacific’s growth could narrow the gap with North America as smart infrastructure investment accelerates. - The Business Research Company invited readers to contact its team for more information and report access.
