The FL500-H2 sensors are capable of monitoring optical radiation emitted through a hydrogen flame within both UV & IR spectral ranges, alongside simultaneously rejecting nuisance false alarm sources common across industrial sites.
Flame Detector Market Segment Analysis- By Application
Oil & Gas sector is considered as one of the major end users deploying flame detectors due to the widespread adoption across all three sectors, namely upstream, midstream and downstream. Oil & Gas had dominated the global flame detector market attributing a value of $1,125.3 million in 2020 and is further set to grow with a CAGR of 2.4% during the forecast period 2021-2026. Various processes involved in Oil & Gas refining includes crude desalting, thermal cracking, hydrogen generation and many others, which are prone to fire hazards due to the presence of explosive vapour/gases in the ambience, contribute towards loss of life as well as industrial property damage in case of fire accidents. To prevent injuries and deaths while reducing fire explosion risks, early detection using flame detection systems become highly essential in controlling the hazards with higher efficiency. Moreover, tanks used for storing flammable substances contribute towards flame ignition while posing highly dangerous threats even during loading or unloading, making it crucial for the oil & gas companies to deploy flame detection systems to optimize work safety standards. Factors like rising rate of fire fatalities, expansion of oil & gas infrastructures and so on can be considered as the major factors attributing towards the growth of flame detectors. Stringent governmental norms or regulations for hazardous environments like oil & gas towards promoting industrial work safety have been also fuelling the market growth owing to mandatory installation of flame detection systems. According to the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), the Gulf of Mexico region accounted for about 84 offshore fire incidents in 2019, which was around 9.09% higher compared to the previous year. Such estimates show the increasing need for flame detectors to reduce the number of fire accidents and fatalities due to the same across oil & gas offshore locations thereby driving the market during 2021-2026.

Flame Detector Market Segment Analysis- Geography
APAC region is set to witness the highest growth of 9.0% in the global flame detector market during the forecast period 2021-2026. Growth of construction/expansion activities of chemical plant facilities, increasing demands for oil & gas refineries for meeting high consumption needs can be considered as some of the key factors analysed to drive the market growth of flame detectors in the coming years. High investments towards adopting wireless technologies for flame detection applications have been tremendously growing as well as stringent governmental regulations towards mandatory installation of fire detection systems majorly across hazardous industrial environments are further set to positively drive the market growth during the forecast period 2021-2026. In May 2019, an Indian company, Ambetronics had revealed about its introduction of FL-UVIR flame detector capable of supporting various connection including stand alone, fire alarm panel as well as monitoring systems. Since these detectors can be used in application areas like refineries, offshore drilling, pipeline pumping stations, gasoline transportation and so on owing to serving requirement of instantaneous response towards flame ignition, automated fire protection, involvement of highly combustible materials with others effectively, making it one of the prominent factors to create its wider adoptability in the Indian markets.
Flame Detector Market Drivers
Increasing growth towards developing smart flame detection systems:
Increasing growth towards developing smart flame detection systems can be analyzed as one of the prominent factors towards creating a positive impact on its market growth in the long run. Chemicals, mining, oil or gas, along with many others are considered as some of the major end use industries which offer a highly critical as well as hazardous environment, which creates mandatory installation of different fire protection systems to avoid life or property damages. Owing to technological advancements, manufacturers have been highly focusing towards optimizing fire detection capabilities through leveraging smart sensing technologies, eventually meeting the requirements of improved fire protection. Utilizing smart sensors in flame detectors helps in accurate detection combined with advantages like excellent false alarm immunity, high sensitivity, faster flame response, less power consumption and many others making it some of the prime factors for its adoption across various industry verticals. In June 2020, the National Science Foundation had offered a grant of $550K for a research project titled, Zero-Power Wireless flame detector for ubiquitous fire monitoring. With this grant, the research professors from North-Eastern University in collaboration with United Technologies Corporation aimed at developing a novel micromechanical flame detector capable of consuming near zero power, until interrupted by an infrared flame emission. This project focuses on developing a smart wireless sensor which can continuously monitors its environment, while turning on only during detection of a relevant event, thus improving fire detection applications. Such ongoing research works are further meant to drive the market growth of smart or intelligent flame arrestors during the forecast period.
Governmental regulations ensuring workplace safety across hazardous environments drives the market forward:
Governmental regulations ensuring workplace safety across hazardous environments acts as a major driving factor boosting the growth of flame detectors market. Industries like chemicals or petrochemicals, oil & gas, mining, and so on offer industrial environments which involve use of harmful and volatile compounds which can cause ignition at high temperature conditions, adversely affecting workplace safety standards. Since the rate of fire explosion incidents majorly within highly critical environments including oil & gas, chemicals with others, the need towards improving industrial work safety concerns have been significantly growing over the years. In order to address such concerns for ensuring workplace safety, governmental bodies across various countries have implemented stringent safety regulatory norms making it mandatory to install fire safety systems within the industrial facilities to retain their plant operations. The Oil Industry Safety Directorate (OISD) under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas serves as a technical standard which is responsible for coordinating the implementation of self-regulatory measures, aimed at improving safety standards within the oil & gas plants operating in India. Several set standards namely, OISD STD 116 and OISD STD 117 regarding fire protection facilities across oil/gas processing plants and petroleum refineries are still in effect, which has been causing a positive impact on the installation of fire explosion control/detection systems like flame detectors. Stringent compliance by the norms is mandated across hazardous industrial environments to potentially eliminate or reduce the fire related incidences. Moreover, NFPA 72 standard published by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) determines the installation, application, performance, location, maintenance as well as testing of fire alarm systems in U.S, which is revised every three years as done in 2019, thereby propelling the adoption for flame detectors.
Flame Detector Market Challenges
