Global CO2 Gas Sensor Market Size is Expected to Reach USD 1,162.38 Million by 2026

A carbon dioxide (CO2) gas sensor is a device used to detect the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, widely used in environmental monitoring, industrial control, smart homes, agriculture, and other fields. These sensors typically operate based on infrared absorption principles or chemical reaction principles to accurately measure gas concentrations. Infrared CO2 sensors determine the concentration by detecting the absorption of specific wavelengths of light by CO2 molecules, while chemical sensors change the electrical signal through a reaction between CO2 and the chemicals on the sensor's surface. Applications of CO2 gas sensors include air quality monitoring, smart temperature control systems, greenhouse gas monitoring, and industrial emission detection. With increasing attention to environmental protection and energy conservation, the use of CO2 gas sensors in public health and safety is expanding.
