The global emission monitoring system market is estimated at US$ 6.7 billion in 2024 and has been projected to expand at a CAGR of 6% to climb to US$ 12.1 billion by 2034-end.

EMS or emission monitoring system is a network of equipment and sensors manufactured in such a way as to track and measure pollutants released into the environment.

The growing environmental concerns and surge in sustainable manufacturing practices are expected to increase the sales of emission monitoring technologies during the coming decade. This fact is further necessitating industry leaders to invest in R&D to produce cutting-edge emission monitoring solutions.

• North America is anticipated to account for 31.5% of the global emission monitoring system market share by 2034.

Emission monitoring system sales are increasing due to the growing need for environmental protection and a significant reliance on coal-fired power plants for energy generation, strict emission regulations and standards imposed by respective governments in North America and Europe.

Furthermore, the expanding number of coal-fired power production units in South Asia & Pacific and East Asia is expected to fuel the demand for emission monitoring systems during the next 10 years.

• The East Asian emission monitoring system market size is calculated at US$ 1.6 billion for 2024.

China and India are building more coal-fired power facilities, which is expected to provide more opportunities for the development of flue gas desulfurization systems. Environmental pollution is a major concern, the surge in the frequency of airborne diseases and the implementation of environmental laws and regulations is further driving the sales of emission control systems.

How is High Energy Demand Driving Sales of Emission Monitoring Technologies?

“Global Reliance on Coal-based Power Plants for Electricity Generation and Rise of Harmful Pollutants”

A coal-burning power plant is a thermal power plant that generates energy from coal. Mercury, lead, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and other heavy metals are all released into the air when coal is burned. Asthma and respiratory problems, brain damage, heart problems, cancer, neurological diseases, and early mortality are all possible side effects of exposure to these contaminants.

These contaminants can harm the lungs, kidneys, respiratory, and neurological systems, among other organs. To keep track of pollutant emission rates, some regulatory bodies have made the adoption of continuous or preventive emission monitoring systems necessary. The rapid rise of harmful contaminants is driving the sales of emission monitoring systems.

“Rise in Greenhouse Gas and VOC Emissions”

One of the primary factors driving the emission monitoring system sales are strong electricity demand and the resulting increase in air pollution output from the power generation sector.

Also, the rising rate of VOC (volatile organic compounds) emissions from the developing oil and gas industry is expected to increase demand for emission control systems over the forecasted timeframe. This industry's VOC emissions include air toxins or pollutants such as benzene and n-hexane, which are known to cause major health problems such as cancer. Furthermore, rise in greenhouse gas emissions is also driving the need for carbon footprint management systems.

“Technological Advancements Enhancing Capabilities of Emission Monitoring Devices”

An emission monitoring system not only measures and monitors emissions but also assists businesses in reporting and reducing dangerous emissions and air pollutants. Customers can also get help with custom design, installation, calibration, validation, and routine maintenance from the manufacturers.

Integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the Internet of Things in sensors is emerging as key emission monitoring system market trends. These technologies aid in improving the accuracy and effectiveness of real-time monitoring of the system.

• Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being integrated by some system manufacturers to decrease the release of dangerous elements. For example, ABB Ltd. has created an empirical model based on process data to anticipate plant emission concentrations in advance.

What is Expected to Hamper Sales Growth of Emission Monitoring Technologies?

“Rising Popularity of Renewable Energy Sources and Strict Regulatory Polices”

Renewable energy is quickly overtaking fossil fuels as the fastest-growing source of electricity. Renewable energy sources such as hydropower, offshore and onshore wind, solar photovoltaic, and biomass are being developed by several countries across the globe. Because of their zero-carbon emissions, these renewable energy sources are becoming more popular and are expected to impact the emission monitoring system market growth to some extent.

• According to a report published by National Renewable Energy Laboratory 2022, 38% of the world’s electricity was produced through carbon-free generation sources (hydropower, nuclear, and combined renewables)

Hydro, solar, and wind power plants produce electricity with little or no emissions, which lowers the sales of emission monitoring systems.

Sales of emission monitoring systems are also facing a number of technical hurdles as a result of strict regulatory regimes. Emission monitoring systems work in a variety of situations, including those that are harsh and even dangerous (dust, fog, rain, etc.). They are vulnerable to precision and performance issues in such situations.

These systems are frequently utilised in a variety of essential industries, including chemicals, petrochemicals, and oil and gas, which adds to the difficulty of providing highly accurate and trustworthy data because analysers are generally situated in difficult-to-reach locations. This could make validation, upkeep, and upgrading of such equipment more difficult, potentially resulting in greater problems, thus negatively influencing the sales outlook of the emission monitoring system.
