Electronic Nose Market Trends:

Rising Advancements in Sensor Technology

The development of more sensitive and precise sensors is an ongoing trend that improves the performance of electronic noses. These developments allow for more precise detection of a wide spectrum of volatile substances, broadening the technology's potential across several sectors. In September 2024, scientists at the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology introduced an e-nose capable of accurately measuring both the type and concentration of gases by integrating nanotechnology and deep learning. This is expanding the electronic nose market share.

Increasing Environmental Monitoring and Odor Control

Environmental monitoring and odor control is the process of detecting and managing dangerous gases and unpleasant scents utilizing modern technology, such as sensors and electronic noses. These technologies assist in maintaining air quality, assuring regulatory compliance, and improving public health and safety in a variety of settings. In April 2024, the Railways Board announced its plan to implement IoT-based technology to detect foul odors in train toilets. Mumbai-based startup Viliso Technologies was chosen for the project. This largely contributes to the serverless architecture market share.

Growing Focus on Integration with AI and Machine Learning

The combination of electronic noses, AI, and machine learning is transforming data analysis by enhancing pattern identification and prediction skills. This trend enables more precise and automated identification of complex scents, which improves efficiency in healthcare, food, and environmental monitoring. In September 2024, Osmo announced the formation of its Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), composed of leading experts in synthetic chemistry, analytical chemistry, artificial intelligence, and sensor technology, to help propel the company's olfactory innovation across scent detection, digitization, and creation.
