Hydrogen sensors are found in the hydrogen detecting and monitoring systems. They perform the basic function of detecting any hydrogen leaks. Leakage of hydrogen can be a risky affair as hydrogen is a highly volatile and poisonous gas. Because of its risky properties, hydrogen gas needs constant monitoring and hydrogen sensors solve the purpose effectively. Hydrogen sensors are gaining wide importance across a varied number of industries.

The list of industries where hydrogen sensors are commonly used are transport industry, oil and gas industry, chemical industry, food and beverage industry, electronics industry, power and energy generation industry, automobile industry etc. The increasing use and demand of hydrogen sensors have resulted in the emergence of many companies that manufacture it. These companies have innovatively made use of the opportunity and are prominently known amongst their consumers.

Some of the leading players in the market are-
