An electronic nose is a device equipped with sensor arrays to detect and identify odors or volatile compounds in the air, mimicking the human sense of smell. It captures the chemical signatures of various scents and analyzes them using pattern recognition algorithms. Electronic noses are widely used to identify and measure odors that may be harmful or indicative of specific conditions.
The main types of electronic noses include embedded sensors and portable devices. Embedded sensors are integrated sensing components that detect and analyze volatile compounds in real time, supporting applications such as air quality monitoring, food safety, and disease detection. These devices utilize various technologies, including metal oxide semiconductor sensors (MOS), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), conducting polymers (CP), surface acoustic wave (SAW), and other advanced technologies. Electronic noses are applied across industries such as food and beverage, healthcare, environmental monitoring, security and defense, among others. The primary end users include industrial, commercial, and residential sectors.

This electronic nose market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The electronic nose market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $26.98 billion in 2024 to $30.86 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.4%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness of environmental monitoring and pollution control, a heightened focus on food safety and quality control, rising demand for e-nose sensing devices, a surge in sensor usage, and the growing need for electronic noses in air quality monitoring and pollution control.
The electronic nose market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $52.32 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. The projected growth for the forecast period is driven by rising awareness of environmental pollution, a greater emphasis on environmental surveillance, an expanding role of e-noses in detecting food authenticity, increasing demand for pollution monitoring, and the growing need for environmental monitoring and odor control. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in research institutions and technological innovation, the integration of AI with e-nose technology, continuous development of e-nose technologies, innovations in electronic nose technology, and advancements in detection technologies.
The growth of the automotive industry is expected to drive the expansion of the electronic nose market in the coming years. The automotive industry encompasses the design, development, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of motor vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles, and their components. This industry's growth is fueled by the increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and the expansion of global markets. The rising demand for EVs is largely driven by growing environmental concerns and government incentives for greener transportation solutions. Electronic noses in the automotive sector are used to detect and analyze odors, improve cabin air quality, identify material off-gassing, and support quality control during manufacturing. For instance, in March 2024, the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, a Belgium-based industry group, reported strong growth in the European Union automotive market, with sales increasing by 13.9% in 2023 compared to 2022, reaching a total of 10.5 million units. As a result, the growth of the automotive industry is expected to propel the electronic nose market.
Key players in the electronic nose market are focusing on adopting sensor-based technologies, such as commercial metal semiconductor oxide (MOS) sensors, to improve detection accuracy, sensitivity, and broaden applications across different industries. Commercial MOS sensors are gas sensors that detect and analyze volatile compounds by measuring changes in electrical resistance when gases interact with metal oxide materials. For example, in January 2024, the Department of Electrical Engineering at the National Kaohsiung University of Science and Technology in Taiwan developed an electronic nose capable of identifying coffee aromas with 98% accuracy. This device uses eight commercial MOS sensors to detect specific aroma-related gases, analyzing roasted and brewed coffee from different varieties and origins. An AI algorithm then processes the data, enhancing the classification of coffee based on scent detection.
In August 2023, Aino's, Inc., a US-based biotech company specializing in AI-powered electronic nose technology, partnered with Nisshinbo Micro Devices. This collaboration combines Aino's AI-driven digital nose, supported by over 50 patents, with Nisshinbo's expertise in electronic and microwave devices. Nisshinbo Micro Devices Inc., based in Japan, develops and manufactures electronic devices and microwave products, further advancing the potential of AI-driven scent technology.
