The Growing demand for the Electronic Nose Market Act As a Defense against Hazardous Environment

 

An electronic nose is an electronic device designed to detect certain flavors or odors in the air. When used, it allows for a more thorough sniffing of the air. A good example of an electronic nose used in foodservice would be a system designed to test for chemicals in the air. While there are several of these devices available on the market. They do provide a better way of evaluating the air than using a standard air sampling kit. This would also allow the odor or flavor to be determined. For instance, if a product was selling very well in an area, but it was producing a noticeable smell in areas where it was not being sold, it could be a sign that the odor or flavor was in fact present. This type of odor detection is not possible by an air sampling device alone. Another category of electronic noses is the one designed for detecting the aroma of certain foods

The growing demand for the electronic nose market as a defense against hazardous environments for consumer goods and the healthcare sector is driving the market growth. Increasing use of artificial sensors to identify and test a range of parameters such as detect the leak of dangerous gases or decayed goods is again augmenting the market growth. Also, the growing demand for the electronic nose from the food &beverage industry to assess the freshness of goods in order to verify product quality is further projected to foster market growth. Researchers are focusing on developing innovative electronic noses in order to cater to growing demand. This is expected to propel the market growth. Scientists Penn State and Northeastern University have developed an "electric nose" for health and environmental monitoring. The sensor device is an improvement on existing wearable sensors because it uses a self-heating mechanism that enhances sensitivity.

North America is expected to gain significant growth over the forecast period and this is attributed to the expanding food & beverage industry which is one of the major end-user of an electronic nose. According to the Economic Research Service United States Department of Agriculture in 2019, U.S. consumers, businesses, and government entities spent $1.77 trillion on food and beverages in grocery stores and other retailers and on away-from-home meals and snacks.
