Challenges In VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) Sensors Market

The high cost of advanced sensor technology has held back the growth of the VOC sensors market. Most VOC sensors with high sensitivity or high precision require big investments on the part of their manufacturers, leading to inflated costs for end users. Such high costs bar many small businesses or industries, such as small-scale manufacturing or even non-profits, from justifying the expense of VOC monitoring systems for health or environmental benefits. Also, the complexity in maintaining accuracy in VOC sensors across diverse and variable environments can be a challenge. As temperature, humidity, or air pressure change, the performance of the sensor tends to wane; thus, calibration problems arise or reliability depreciates over time. This makes it very challenging to monitor the sensor over long-term periods, as it will require frequent calibration or replacement of the sensor.
