Flame detectors are devices which are used to detect the radiations emitted through a fire and take corrective actions to prevent loss to the environment and human life. The emphasis on flame detectors has increased these days because of their usage in various industries ranging from manufacturing and oil & gas to government.
The flame detectors market is projected to reach USD 3.2 billion by 2020, at a CAGR of 6.07% between 2015 and 2020. Single UV detectors are expected to hold a large share of the market till 2020.
Single UV detectors are mainly used in indoor applications across various industries, especially oil & gas, transportation, manufacturing, mining and energy & power utilities, wherein there is a huge potential for the usage of indoor flame detectors and single UV detectors fit the requirement. This is one of the reasons for witnessing a high market size in terms of value in 2014; this trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.
On the other hand, the growth in the application of flame detectors in manufacturing & oil & gas industries is driving the flame detectors market. In the manufacturing industry, the demand for flame detectors is very high due to the involvement of combustible materials, high voltage electricity, and, in some cases, the use of furnaces. The toxicity levels of hydrocarbons and hydrogen materials emitted through a fire push most industries to install quality flame detectors to avoid such situations. The oil & gas sector is more prone to fire accidents due to the involvement of highly flammable materials such as oil, gasoline, and other combustible substances. Suitable flame detection and prevention systems are needed in this sector to avoid accidents.

The maintenance services market is dominated by the application in oil & gas, manufacturing, and energy & power industries. The growth specifically in these industries is basically due to the frequent masking up of dense smoke and various radiations on detectors, due to which regular maintenance is required to get the required output. The application in the oil & gas industry held the largest share of ~23.4% of the global maintenance services market in 2014; this market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.39% and reach USD 97.42 million by 2020. The application in manufacturing and energy & power industries held a share of ~16.4% and ~14.7%, respectively, in 2014.
In the flame detectors market in North America, the U.S. accounted for the largest share of ~29% in 2014; the reason for the high share is the increased consumer awareness about the benefits of flame detectors and their necessity. The government’s fire safety rules are also driving the flame detectors market in U.S.
