Report Scope
In this report, environmental sensing and monitoring is defined as the use of sensors to detect chemical and biological contaminants or measure physical phenomena and convert that information into measurable data. Environmental sensor monitoring networks represent the aggregation of a large numbers of individual sensors into large networks. Environmental sensors can be in thousands of forms and types based on a wide range of physical and chemical principles with varying types of usable output. Typically monitored contaminants include metals, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), biological contaminants and radioisotopes.
The applications of sensors are extremely varied. Areas of environmental focus include water supplies and watershed data, vehicular emissions, combustion of fossil fuels, agricultural runoff, industrial and mine waste disposal, ocean spills and dumping, climate change, weather monitoring and seismic events. This report excludes any standalone software and post-sales service providers (including those involved in consulting, education and support).
This report analyzes the global market for environmental sensing and monitoring technologies and examines market trends. It includes 2023 as the base year and forecast data from 2024 to 2029. The report analyzes the global market revenue ($ millions) in terms of solution, sampling method, type, applications, end users and regions (North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World). It also examines the trends and challenges driving the market, as well as the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) developments; patents; and emerging technologies.
