Ultrasonic Air Bubble Detectors Market

Ultrasonic Air Bubble Detectors Market Research, 2031

The global ultrasonic air bubble detectors market was valued at $108.8 million in 2021, and is projected to reach $221.6 million by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 7.3% from 2022 to 2031.

A gas bubble detector refers to a device that is used to detect the presence of gas bubbles in liquids used in medical equipment, fuel and lubrication systems in industrial settings and other fluids. In the case of an ultrasonic gas bubble detector, the transducer produces ultrasonic waves on one side and passes them through the tubing to the opposite transducer that consistently recognizes the signal strength. The transmission of ultrasonic waves is different between bubbles and liquid. Only when there is liquid in the tube will ultrasonic waves be transmitted. However, when bubbles are passing through, the ultrasonic waves will be reflected because of the bubbles. From this, the signal received will be weak. This is how ultrasonic gas bubble detectors are used to identify bubbles within the tube. Ultrasonic bubble sensors are totally non-invasive and, once they are calibrated in the factory, do not need further calibration in the field.

The ultrasonic air bubble detectors market has been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak. Production and manufacturing facilities across the globe have been shut down, owing to the outbreak of the health crisis and unavailability of workforce. This has further impacted the economy, and is causing economic hardship for business and communities in world. Countries across the globe have suffered major loss in terms of business and revenue, owing to lockdown and lack of availability of raw materials across the world. Production and manufacturing sectors across the world have been negatively impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease, which, in turn, led to economic downfall, thereby declining the growth of the ultrasonic air bubble detectors market in 2020. Furthermore, COVID-19 has enforced the ultrasonic air bubble detectors market industry to make short-term decisions with long-term implications. However, the negative impact caused by COVID-19 on the ultrasonic air bubble detectors market is expected to continue for a short period. Conversely, by mid-2022, the market is anticipated to witness robust recovery, due to extensive demand for digital solution in industrial sectors. In addition, the ongoing pandemic is expected to escalate the need for high-end testing solutions, which is opportunistic for market growth.

The ultrasonic air bubble detectors market is segmented into Product and Application.

By product, the market is divided into fixed and adjustable. The fixed segment was the highest revenue contributor to the market in 2021. The surge in adoption of ultrasonic technology in the medical industry and increase in demand for clean water are expected to drive the market growth. 

By application, the market is divided into advanced medical technologies, pharmaceutical industry, foodstuffs industry, automation & process control and others. The medical technologies segment was the highest revenue contributor to the market in 2021. There is an increase in the demand for ultrasonic air bubble detectors owing to its growing applications in places, including hospitals, clinics, and ambulatory care centers, as well as in home healthcare settings resulting in a high demand of ultrasonic air bubble detectors in this sector.

Region wise, the ultrasonic gas bubble detectors market trends are analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada and Mexico), Europe (UK, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa).

Ultrasonic air bubble detectors play a vital role in numerous fields of science and industry. They have a wide array of applications in the medical industry, biotech, life sciences and pharmaceutical sector, food and beverage, semiconductor industry or process control and automation. The ultrasonic gas bubble detector market is driven by the increase in demand for safe and efficient monitoring of gas bubble levels in various industries, such as oil and gas, power generation, and water treatment. These devices are used to detect and measure the size and concentration of gas bubbles in liquids, which can help prevent equipment damage and improve the efficiency of processes.

However, high costs associated with deploying ultrasonic gas bubble detectors and the complex integration of them with other systems, are projected to limit the growth of the ultrasonic air bubble detectors market share in the future.The outbreak of COVID-19 significantly impacted the growth of the outdoor manufacturing and industrial sectors in 2020; however, surge in deployment of advanced networking and communication technologies witnessed relatively high growth during 2021. Nevertheless, the market was principally hit by several obstacles created amid the COVID-19 pandemic such as lack of skilled workforce availability and delay or cancelation of projects owing to partial or complete lockdown across the globe. In contrast, a rise in penetration of Internet of Things hardware across industrial, manufacturing, and commercial sectors is expected to drive the growth of the ultrasonic gas bubble detectors industry during the forecast period.

Significant factors that impact the growth of the ultrasonic air bubble detectors market size include advantages over conventional delivery systems. Moreover, advancements of temperature-compensated ultrasonic air bubble sensors to overcome limitations of changing temperatures are expected to drive the ultrasonic air bubble detectors market growth. However, the high cost of ultrasonic air bubble detectors might hamper growth of the market. On the contrary, the advantages of non-invasive air pressure detection in applications for hard body disposable sets potential growth opportunities for the ultrasonic air bubble detectors industry.

• In August 2022, Instrumens, a pioneer in smart multi-sensor solutions, launched its new Bubble detection sensor. Easy to integrate into existing liquid control systems, Instrumems' bubble detection technology is a new measurement system for improved precision in liquid handling, leading to reduced errors. Engineering teams and system architects will benefit from the efficiency of the sensor's fast response to quantify micro-size bubbles occupying <50% of a channel. The biocompatibility of Instrumems' Bubble detection sensor provides a new solution to various areas (i.e., Life Sciences, Pharma, food testing, etc.) with a safe and accurate flow measurement.
• In April 2022, SONOTEC launched the second generation of the SONOFLOW CO.56 Pro flow-bubble sensor at MD&M West. The SONOFLOW CO.56 Pro V2.0 for medical applications measures the flow rate of liquids, such as blood and reliably detects air bubbles in standard medical tubing. Particularly developed for the use in extracorporeal life support systems (ECLS), the aim of the re-design was to enhance the safety concept of the hybrid clamp-on sensor while further improving its reliability and accuracy. The advanced safety concept covers applications in surgery rooms, intensive care units as well as the mobile emergency care regardless of the patient’s state of consciousness.
