Description

The South America portable gas detector market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.39% between 2025 and 2035, reaching USD 171.82 million by the end of 2035. A portable gas detector is a small, easily movable device that detects and records gas leaks or the concentration of gases in work areas or confined spaces. It makes the environment safer by giving instant warnings of possible gas dangers.

As safety regulations become more stringent in workplaces in South America, a notable trend has emerged that is the adoption of portable gas detectors, especially in sectors that pose high safety risks like oil & gas and mining. These instruments can be of great help to industries in meeting the laid-down standards, and as a result, they can prevent gas-related accidents when such countries impose heavy fines on defaulters.

Key Company Development
In January 2025, Honeywell expanded its gas detection portfolio with the launch of the BW Ultra, a portable device capable of monitoring five gases simultaneously. The product was conceived with confined space scenarios in mind, and it makes use of the 1-Series highly accurate and robust sensor. The deployment of Honeywell TouchConnect Technology makes communication and control very easy and thus, the company is strengthening its leadership role in industrial safety innovation.

Major Competitors
Major players in the South America portable gas detector market include Honeywell International Inc., Dräger, Crowcon Detection, Instruments Limited, MSA Safety Incorporated, Industrial Scientific Corporation, Blackline Safety, RKI Instruments, and SENKO CO., LTD.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
