Middle East and Africa Digital Scent Technology Market – Industry Trends and Forecast to 2030

Middle East and Africa Digital Scent Technology Market Analysis and Size

The Middle East and Africa digital scent technology market is expected to grow significantly in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. Data Bridge Market Research analyses that the market is growing with a CAGR of 8.7% in the forecast period of 2023 to 2030 and is expected to reach USD 77.61 million by 2030. The major factor driving the growth of digital scent technology is the increasing usage of e-nose in the food industry to ensure product quality and the rising application of e-nose in clinical diagnosis.

Using hardware elements like an e-nose and a scent synthesiser, digital scent technology is a technique for transmitting, receiving, and smelling scented digital material. A set of gas sensors known as an "e-nose" is a device that can recognize and identify different odours. Electronic gadgets like TVs, phones, and tablets all release aromas using a mechanism called a scent synthesiser.

Market Definition

Digital scent technology is a method of transmitting, receiving, and smelling scented digital media using hardware components such as an e-nose and a scent synthesizer. An e-nose is a collection of gas sensors that can be used to detect and sense various odors. A device known as a scent synthesizer emits scents from electronic devices, including TVs, cell phones, and tablets. Digital smell technology is employed in various applications by many end-user industries, including military & defense, food & beverage, medical, marketing, entertainment, environment monitoring, and others, such as communication, agriculture, public security, transportation, and R&D.

Middle East and Africa Digital Scent Technology Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Emerging recent research and development projects to create an e-nose to detect covid-19

Digital scent and associated e-nose is a technique for digital media that can detect, send, and receive scents. The main use of e-nose is in digital smell technologies. The smell may now be detected, sent, and received online. Recent research and development in this technology have enabled the scientific community to utilize this technology in diagnostic fields. Since this technology is continuously emerging and evolving, it has a lot of potential and scope to be met in the forecast period. 

The era of pandemic caused by covid-19 gave this market a chance to get involved with the field of diagnostic technology as well. Certain research and developments are going on by which digital technology can be applied to detect covid-19. One of the most relevant digital scent technology devices is the e-nose (an electronic nose). This e-nose technology has been proven to be useful in covid-19 detection.

Opportunities

• Opportunities for e-noses to expand in environmental monitoring

The electronic nose truly operates under the same principles as a bionic simulation of the human olfactory system. The idea of detecting smells was put forth 100 years ago by the well-known inventor Bell, but it wasn't until 50 years later that significant development in the field was made. In the 1980s of the previous century, Europe and the United States started to create useful odour detection technologies and goods. Currently, the electronic nose is used in various disciplines, including environmental monitoring, security, traffic safety, and medicine, among others.

In addition, in today’s world, environmental monitoring is necessary to learn more about it and determine how well it supports the preservation of collections. There are continuous recording devices (data loggers and hygro-thermographs) and spot readers that merely show the present conditions that make temperature and humidity monitoring easier (thermometers, hygrometers, and humidity indicator strips). Finding and controlling dangerous chemical emissions in the atmosphere has become a top priority for many nations worldwide. Many organic and inorganic pollutants are emitted into the air, land, and water, posing serious health risks to people, plants, and animals. To ensure the quality of human life and the sustainability of the world, environmental pollutants must therefore be monitored. Applying digital scent technology and e-nose in environmental monitoring is creating another opportunity for the market to grow.

Restraints/Challenges

• Side effects caused by chemicals associated with scent/fragrance

Scent and fragrance products or products associated with scent and perfume are produced using various organic chemicals and synthetic chemicals as raw materials. Chemicals used in the scent and perfumes can cause fatal side effects, which can further turn into diseases for short-term or chronic. The pandemic of COVID-19 made the public and government highly aware of health consciousness in developed countries such as the United States, Japan, China, Brazil, and Saudi Arabia, among others. Side effects caused by normal scented products can also affect the market of digital scent technology Middle East and Africa. Since consumers are becoming aware of their health safety day by day, the prevalence of side effects caused by scent and perfume products can make the market decline for the forecast period. 

Post COVID-19 Impact on Digital Scent Technology

Covid-19 has had a negative impact on practically every business and industry. However, the digital scent technology market gained some benefits from the pandemic as well. The commercial circumstances that Covid-19 has created are unprecedented, and various organizations are scrambling to react to that situation, creating growth in the e-nose segment due to the covid detection ability of electronic noses.

Covid-19's influence on digital scent technology is broad and multifaceted. Many electronic nose and digital scent technology firms took undertaking changes to suit its consequences. They focused on technological innovations in developing e-noses that can detect coronavirus. The e-nose and digital scent technology sector is extremely fortunate to be able to operate digitally, allowing the firms to continue to operate with minimal health and safety risks for employees.

However, this does not imply that the digital scent technology industry adjustments have been simple to implement. Not every segment of digital scent technology was built to allow team members to work remotely. In truth, the majority of the firms operate physically with dedicated equipment, software, hardware, and laboratories.

Digital scent technology firms have implemented a number of technological and digital innovations in order to maintain excellent virtual performance.
