项目摘要

The global vacuum leak detection market is valued at $800M in 2022 and projected to grow at CAGR of 6%. There is also significant demand for leak detection in other non-vacuum sectors such as electric vehicle batteries and pharmaceuticals. Currently this need is serviced almost exclusively by helium detection using quadrupole-based mass spectroscopy. These systems are costly (~£30k) and have on-going high maintenance costs. In addition, helium is expensive and in critically short supply. Gencoa seeks to address this market with a disruptive new methodology based on remote plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Building upon its already successful 'Optix' gas sensor, Gencoa will deliver a turnkey, automated solution which is capable of comparable performance without the need to use helium, and at a significantly lower price point (~£15k). The use of an optical gas detection method means that the company will have a distinct market advantage over mass spectrometry in terms of price and robustness. The target markets would be both domestic and international entities that utilise vacuum processes or have a requirement for leak detection of sealed systems and components, providing the opportunity for Gencoa to enter market sectors outside of its normal activity areas such as electric vehicle battery manufacturing, hydrogen infrastructure, refrigeration, air conditioning and other industries which require leak testing for quality assurance.

到2022年，全球真空泄漏检测市场的价值为8亿美元，预计将以6%的复合年增长率增长。在其他非真空领域，如电动汽车电池和制药行业，对泄漏检测的需求也很大。目前，这一需求几乎完全由使用基于四极杆的质谱的氦检测来满足。这些系统价格昂贵（约3万英镑），并且维护成本很高。此外，氦气价格昂贵，供应严重短缺。Gencoa试图通过基于远程等离子体光学发射光谱的颠覆性新方法来解决这个市场。在其已经成功的“Optix”气体传感器的基础上，Gencoa将提供一个交钥匙的自动化解决方案，该解决方案能够在不需要使用氦气的情况下实现相当的性能，并且价格明显较低（约1.5万英镑）。光学气体检测方法的使用意味着该公司在价格和稳健性方面将具有明显的市场优势。目标市场将是使用真空工艺或要求对密封系统和组件进行泄漏检测的国内和国际实体，为Gencoa提供进入其正常活动领域以外的市场部门的机会，例如电动汽车电池制造，氢基础设施，制冷，空调和其他需要泄漏测试以保证质量的行业。
