Overview

Market Analysis & Outlook

Gas sensors are components and integrated devices that detect and measure the concentration of a specific gas, or a range of gases, in ambient or process air, using electrochemical, semiconductor, catalytic, infrared or photo-ionization sensing elements to convert a chemical reaction or optical absorption signal into a readable output. They are built into fixed detection systems, portable personal monitors, vehicle emissions and cabin air systems, and appliance or building-automation controllers. Buyers include instrument and safety-equipment manufacturers who integrate the sensing element into a finished detector, automotive OEMs and tier suppliers, and industrial, medical and building-automation equipment makers who specify a sensor as one component of a larger system.

The global gas sensors market stood at USD 1.9 billion in 2025. A forecast-period rate of 8.62% takes it to USD 3.99 billion by 2034, and the study reports every year in between, passing USD 1.32 billion in 2020, USD 1.77 billion in 2024, USD 2.06 billion in 2026 and USD 2.87 billion in 2030.

On the product axis, growth rates run from 6.9% for Oxygen/Lambda Sensor up to 12.14% for Others. Oxygen/Lambda Sensor carries the volume: USD 0.57 billion and 30% of revenue in 2025, USD 1.04 billion and 26.07% in 2034. The lines gaining share are Carbon Dioxide Sensor, Methyl Mercaptan Sensor and Others. Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, Carbon Monoxide Sensor and NOx Sensor lose share without losing revenue.

By type, Wired accounts for 67.89% of 2025 revenue at USD 1.29 billion, reaching USD 2.19 billion and 54.89% by 2034. Wireless grows faster at 12.77% against 6.05%, moving from 32.11% of revenue to 45.11% by 2034. This axis divides the same revenue as the product split rather than adding to it, so the two are read together rather than summed.

USD 0.72 billion of 2025 revenue is generated in Asia Pacific, 37.89% of the global total and the largest regional share; it reaches USD 1.68 billion by 2034. North America is next at 26.84% and USD 0.51 billion, and Middle East and Africa last at 5.26%. Because Asia Pacific and Latin America take share, the revenue added by 2034 concentrates rather than spreading across all five regions.

Coverage extends to five regions, six product lines and five segmentation axes over the full fifteen years. The 2025 total itself is triangulated from published sources and category proxies rather than an independently sourced count, and the splits below are estimated on that same basis, a bound on their precision worth carrying into any use of them.

Share of by product segment revenue, most recent base year.

The global gas sensors market is shaped over 2026-2034 by three measurable movements: a change in the product mix, a shift in where revenue sits geographically, and the 8.62% rate carrying the total.

The direction of the market is not in question in any of the three. Each line and each region grows in revenue terms; the question is which takes the larger part of the growth.

Composition shifts on the product axis. 12.14% against 6.9%: that gap, between Others and Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, is the largest on the product axis. Over the forecast period that moves Others from 10% of revenue to 13.78%, and Oxygen/Lambda Sensor from 30% to 26.07%. Neither contracts: USD 0.19 billion becomes USD 0.55 billion, USD 0.57 billion becomes USD 1.04 billion. What the spread decides is which of them a supplier's revenue is exposed to.

The regional balance moves. Asia Pacific moves from 37.89% of revenue in 2025 to 42.11% in 2034, worth USD 0.72 billion rising to USD 1.68 billion; Latin America moves from 5.79% of revenue in 2025 to 6.52% in 2034, worth USD 0.11 billion rising to USD 0.26 billion. Share moves off the others in turn: North America at 26.84% moving to 24.06%, Europe at 24.21% moving to 22.06%, Middle East and Africa at 5.26% moving to 5.26%, each still growing in revenue terms. The practical consequence is that regional weighting decides whether a participant matches the market rate or trails it, regardless of how its own revenue reads.

Fifteen years without a discontinuity. The market moves through USD 1.32 billion in 2020, USD 1.77 billion in 2024, USD 1.9 billion in 2025, USD 2.06 billion in 2026, USD 2.87 billion in 2030 and USD 3.99 billion in 2034. No year breaks the trajectory, and the 8.62% forecast rate compares with 7.55% recorded over 2020-2025, a continuation rather than an inflection. That moves the planning question away from timing a turn and onto the product and regional mixes, where the actual movement is.

Market Growth Factors

Others adds the most incremental growth

Market Drivers

3
  • 01
    Others adds the most incremental growth

    The fastest line on the product axis is Others, at 12.14% against the market's 8.62%, taking USD 0.19 billion to USD 0.55 billion and 10% of revenue to 13.78%. Set against 6.9% at the other end of the axis, this is the line that decides whether the market's 8.62% holds. That makes position on the product axis a growth decision rather than a product one.

  • 02
    Asia Pacific carries 37.89% of the base and keeps growing

    37.89% of 2025 revenue (USD 0.72 billion) is generated in Asia Pacific, reaching USD 1.68 billion by 2034, with share rising to 42.11%. Behind it, North America holds 26.84%; USD 0.51 billion rising to USD 0.96 billion. Together the two account for the majority of both the 2025 base and the revenue added by 2034, which is why a regional plan treating all five regions at equal weight misreads where the growth actually lands.

  • 03
    Fifteen years of unbroken growth underpin the forecast

    The historical period compounded at 7.55%; USD 1.32 billion in 2020, USD 1.77 billion in 2024 and USD 1.9 billion in 2025. The forecast continues at 8.62% to USD 3.99 billion in 2034. With the trajectory already demonstrated over fifteen years, what remains uncertain is the mix rather than the direction, which is where the segment and regional sections do the work.

Drivers contribute 2.22 Billion and restraints remove 0.13 Billion, a net 2.09 Billion, which is the revenue the market adds between the base year and 2034. Contributions are CDI estimates, apportioned so that they reconcile with the forecast rather than being read from it.

The 8.62% forecast rate rests on three things that can be measured separately: the size of the existing base, the mix shift on the product axis, and where regional growth is concentrated.

Analysis

Restraining Factors

The bear case and what drives it

Market Restraints

2
  • 01
    The bear case and what drives it

    Where the forecast could miss: regulatory phase-ins for building and vehicle emissions standards slip by several years and price competition from low-cost regional semiconductor sensor suppliers compresses average selling prices faster than unit volume growth can offset. That path reaches USD 3.45 billion by 2034 instead of USD 3.99 billion, off an unchanged USD 1.9 billion in 2025.

  • 02
    Oxygen/Lambda Sensor grows below the market rate

    Oxygen/Lambda Sensor carries 30% of 2025 revenue at USD 0.57 billion but compounds at 6.9% against 8.62% for the market, taking its share to 26.07% by 2034 even as revenue rises to USD 1.04 billion. Because it carries that much of the base, its pace holds the blended rate down more than any faster line lifts it.

Analysis

Market Opportunities

Where the forecast could be beaten

Market Opportunities

2
  • 01
    Where the forecast could be beaten

    Hydrogen infrastructure funding and indoor air quality mandates are approved on the faster end of current legislative timelines, and OEM design wins convert to volume production a year or more ahead of the base case. On that assumption the market reaches USD 4.53 billion by 2034 rather than USD 3.99 billion, from the same USD 1.9 billion in 2025.

  • 02
    Others is where share changes hands

    Share on the product axis moves toward Others, from 10% in 2025 to 13.78% in 2034, on 12.14% growth against the market's 8.62% and revenue rising from USD 0.19 billion to USD 0.55 billion. Taking position there does not require displacing whoever holds Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, which is the harder and more expensive fight.

Analysis

Market Challenges

  • 01
    The total depends on a single line

    With 30% of 2025 revenue and 26.07% of 2034 revenue (USD 0.57 billion rising to USD 1.04 billion) Oxygen/Lambda Sensor is where the market's exposure sits. That concentration means the market's own forecast is, to a large extent, a forecast for one product line.

  • 02
    Asia Pacific is largely China

    Asia Pacific is worth USD 0.72 billion in 2025 and USD 0.32 billion of that is China; 44.44% of the region, reaching USD 0.76 billion in 2034. The consequence is that regional risk here is really country risk wearing a larger label.

Structure

Segmentation Analysis

5 axes

The global gas sensors market is cut five ways: by product, type, technology, end use and device type. They are alternative readings of one revenue pool, not parts that sum to it.

There are six lines on the product axis, and all of them grow in revenue between 2025 and 2034. What separates them is share: three gain it, the rest give it up.

Oxygen and Lambda Sensor leads because automotive emissions compliance still drives fitment across most of the installed internal combustion vehicle fleet, and each vehicle typically carries more than one unit. Others, covering Hydrogen, Ammonia and Hydrogen Sulfide, grows fastest because hydrogen economy investment, ammonia based refrigeration and updated industrial safety codes are creating sensor demand in categories that barely existed as a line item a decade ago. The order does not change: Oxygen/Lambda Sensor is still largest in 2034, and what moves is how much it holds. This is the axis the estimation prices in full, year by year, and the one the regional chapters cut against.

Electrochemical Led by Technology in 2025, with Infrared (IR) Growing Fastest Electrochemical leads because it remains the default choice for toxic gas detection in confined space and personal monitor applications where accuracy at low concentrations matters most. Infrared grows fastest because it tolerates the humidity and dust found at oilfield and biogas sites that gradually foul the catalytic and electrochemical elements those sites used previously. The order does not change: Electrochemical is still largest in 2034, and what moves is how much it holds.

Automotive Led by End use in 2025, with Environmental Growing Fastest Automotive leads because internal combustion and hybrid vehicles still make up most of the installed global fleet, and each one carries multiple emissions related sensors. Building Automation and Domestic Appliances grows fastest because indoor air quality requirements are moving gas sensing out of an industrial only category and into consumer HVAC systems and smart home products.

  • Rank 2 of 5
  • 2025 share 26.8%
  • By 2034 24.1%
  • Revenue $0.51B → $0.96B

26.84% of the global gas sensors market sits in North America in 2025, worth USD 0.51 billion and reaches USD 0.96 billion by 2034. Among the five regions it ranks second by revenue in both years.

24.06% of global revenue sits here in 2034, below the 2025 level, and the region keeps growing in absolute terms while others expand faster, a change in relative weight, not a decline in demand.

Oxygen/Lambda Sensor leads here as it does globally, at 30% of 2025 revenue, and Others again grows fastest at 12.14%. Per-axis and per-country detail for North America sits in the full report.

United States

Sets the pace for North America at 82.3% of it, growing 1.9×.

  • In region 1 of 2
  • Of region 82.3%
  • Of global 22.1%
  • Revenue $0.42B → $0.79B

The United States is the largest market within North America, generating USD 0.42 billion in 2025 and projected to reach USD 0.79 billion by 2034. Carrying 82.35% of the region in the base year, it sets North America's direction rather than contributing to it. Against regional totals of USD 0.51 billion in 2025 and USD 0.96 billion in 2034, it is the country the full report breaks out in detail.

Demand in the United States follows the product mix reported at global level: Oxygen/Lambda Sensor is the largest line at 30% of 2025 revenue, moving to 26.07% by 2034, while Others grows fastest at 12.14% and takes its share from 10% to 13.78%. Since 82.35% of North America's revenue is generated here, the regional numbers inherit this market's mix rather than smoothing it out. Per-product revenue for the United States appears on its own in the full report.

Gas sensors sold into workplace and industrial settings in the United States fall under the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's exposure and monitoring requirements, which shape how detection thresholds and alarm response are specified even though the agency does not certify individual devices. Product listing and safety certification is typically obtained through a nationally recognized testing laboratory such as UL, following performance standards developed with bodies including ANSI and ISA for combustible and toxic gas detection. Devices built for confined-space or explosive-atmosphere use must additionally meet intrinsic-safety and explosion-protection standards, while any unit with wireless transmission requires separate equipment authorization from the Federal Communications Commission before sale.

In the United States the field is Honeywell International Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, Figaro Engineering Inc., Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, MSA Safety Incorporated, Sensirion AG, ams-OSRAM AG, Amphenol Corporation, Emerson Electric Co., Nissha FIS Inc., SGX Sensortech, Alphasense Ltd, City Technology Ltd and Membrapor AG. Volume sits in Oxygen/Lambda Sensor at 30% of 2025 revenue; movement sits in Others at 12.14% growth. Per-company positioning and share at country level are in the full report only.

  • In region 2 of 2
  • Of region 17.6%
  • Of global 4.7%
  • Revenue $0.09B → $0.17B

Within North America, Canada accounts for 17.65% of regional revenue and 4.74% of the global total, worth USD 0.09 billion in 2025 and USD 0.17 billion by 2034.

Europe Market Analysis

The 3rd-largest region covered — 2.2 points of share move elsewhere by 2034, while revenue still grows 1.9×.

  • Rank 3 of 5
  • 2025 share 24.2%
  • By 2034 22.1%
  • Revenue $0.46B → $0.88B

In Europe, 24.21% of global revenue puts 2025 at USD 0.46 billion with USD 0.88 billion projected for 2034. That makes it the third-largest region covered, in 2025 and again in 2034.

Share settles at 22.06% in 2034, while nothing contracts here; other regions simply grow faster, which shows up as relative weight rather than as falling revenue.

The product mix reported at global level applies here, with Oxygen/Lambda Sensor the largest line at 30% of 2025 revenue and Others the fastest-growing at 12.14%. Revenue for Europe is broken out by every segmentation axis and by country in the full report.

Germany

The largest market in Europe, growing 1.9×.

  • In region 1 of 3
  • Of region 30.4%
  • Of global 7.4%
  • Revenue $0.14B → $0.27B

USD 0.14 billion of Europe's 2025 revenue is generated in Germany, the region's largest market, reaching USD 0.27 billion by 2034. Its 30.43% of base-year regional revenue leads the region, though enough sits elsewhere that Europe is not a proxy for it. Set against USD 0.46 billion and USD 0.88 billion for the region, it is why this market rather than a smaller one is the one reported in full.

Germany buys along the same lines as the market globally; Oxygen/Lambda Sensor first at 30% of 2025 revenue and 26.07% in 2034, Others fastest at 12.14% on a share moving from 10% to 13.78%. Since 30.43% of Europe's revenue is generated here, the regional numbers inherit this market's mix rather than smoothing it out. The full report reports Germany by product separately.

As an EU member state, Germany applies the ATEX Directive to gas sensors intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, requiring conformity assessment, technical documentation, and CE marking before a device can be placed on the market. Sensors used for workplace exposure monitoring must also align with the requirements enforced by the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, while radio-enabled units fall under the Radio Equipment Directive and are subject to market surveillance by the Bundesnetzagentur. Manufacturers demonstrate conformity against harmonised EN standards developed through CEN and CENELEC, covering performance, electromagnetic compatibility, and explosion protection, with a declaration of conformity retained for inspection by national authorities.

In Germany the field is Honeywell International Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, Figaro Engineering Inc., Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, MSA Safety Incorporated, Sensirion AG, ams-OSRAM AG, Amphenol Corporation, Emerson Electric Co., Nissha FIS Inc., SGX Sensortech, Alphasense Ltd, City Technology Ltd and Membrapor AG. Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, at 30% of 2025 revenue, is where the volume sits, and Others, growing at 12.14%, is where position changes hands over the forecast period.

Asia Pacific Market Analysis

The largest region covered, and the one gaining the most — it picks up 4.2 points of share by 2034, while revenue still grows 2.3×.

  • Rank 1 of 5
  • 2025 share 37.9%
  • By 2034 42.1%
  • Revenue $0.72B → $1.68B

In Asia Pacific, 37.89% of global revenue puts 2025 at USD 0.72 billion on the way to USD 1.68 billion by 2034. Among the five regions it ranks first by revenue in both years.

By 2034 the share has moved up to 42.11%, on growth above the market's own 8.62%, and with a bigger contribution to the revenue added over the period than the base-year figure suggests.

The product mix reported at global level applies here, with Oxygen/Lambda Sensor the largest line at 30% of 2025 revenue and Others the fastest-growing at 12.14%. Revenue for Asia Pacific is broken out by every segmentation axis and by country in the full report.

China

The largest market in Asia Pacific, growing 2.4×.

  • In region 1 of 3
  • Of region 44.4%
  • Of global 16.8%
  • Revenue $0.32B → $0.76B

44.44% of Asia Pacific's base-year revenue comes from China; USD 0.32 billion, rising to USD 0.76 billion by 2034. At 44.44% of the region in 2025 it leads, but a majority of Asia Pacific's revenue is generated in other markets. The region itself runs USD 0.72 billion to USD 1.68 billion over the same period, and this is the market carrying the country-level detail in the full report.

The product pattern in China is the global one: 30% of 2025 revenue in Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, 26.07% by 2034, against 12.14% growth in Others taking it from 10% to 13.78%. Its 44.44% weight in Asia Pacific means those movements carry straight into the regional totals. Per-product revenue for China appears on its own in the full report.

Gas sensors marketed in China generally require certification under the China Compulsory Certification scheme overseen by the Certification and Accreditation Administration together with the State Administration for Market Regulation, covering safety and electromagnetic compatibility before domestic sale. Devices intended for use in explosive or hazardous industrial atmospheres must additionally obtain explosion-protection certification from the National Supervision and Inspection Centre for Explosion Protection and Safety of Instrumentation, verifying conformity with national GB standards governing intrinsically safe design. Labelling must identify the certified explosion-protection class and rated conditions of use, and imported units are further subject to customs inspection confirming that certification markings and supporting documentation match the declared product.

Competition in China runs between the suppliers this study tracks: Honeywell International Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, Figaro Engineering Inc., Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, MSA Safety Incorporated, Sensirion AG, ams-OSRAM AG, Amphenol Corporation, Emerson Electric Co., Nissha FIS Inc., SGX Sensortech, Alphasense Ltd, City Technology Ltd and Membrapor AG. Two different problems sit on the same axis: holding Oxygen/Lambda Sensor at 30% of 2025 revenue, and taking Others while it grows at 12.14%.

Segment composition follows the global pattern: Oxygen/Lambda Sensor largest at 30% of 2025 revenue, Others fastest at 12.14%. Per-axis and per-country detail for Latin America sits in the full report.

Brazil

The largest market in Latin America, growing 2.3×.

  • In region 1 of 2
  • Of region 54.5%
  • Of global 3.2%
  • Revenue $0.06B → $0.14B

USD 0.06 billion of Latin America's 2025 revenue is generated in Brazil, the region's largest market, reaching USD 0.14 billion by 2034. 54.55% of the region in the base year makes it the largest market here without making it the region. Set against USD 0.11 billion and USD 0.26 billion for the region, it is why this market rather than a smaller one is the one reported in full.

Composition here matches the global split: the largest line is Oxygen/Lambda Sensor at 30% of 2025 revenue, easing to 26.07% by 2034, and the fastest is Others at 12.14%, from 10% to 13.78%. With 54.55% of Latin America concentrated here, a change in this country's mix is visible in the regional figures instead of being diluted by its neighbours. Brazil carries its own product breakdown in the full report.

In Brazil, gas sensors are subject to conformity assessment administered by INMETRO, the national metrology and quality body, which sets certification requirements against ABNT technical standards covering safety, performance, and, where relevant, explosion protection for hazardous-area equipment. Suppliers must obtain the applicable INMETRO certification mark before a unit can be sold, and labelling must reflect the certified operating and hazard classification. Sensors deployed in oil and gas or petrochemical facilities are also expected to meet sector-specific technical requirements set by the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels, while any unit with wireless connectivity requires separate homologation from ANATEL, the national telecommunications regulator.

In Brazil the field is Honeywell International Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, Figaro Engineering Inc., Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, MSA Safety Incorporated, Sensirion AG, ams-OSRAM AG, Amphenol Corporation, Emerson Electric Co., Nissha FIS Inc., SGX Sensortech, Alphasense Ltd, City Technology Ltd and Membrapor AG. Two different problems sit on the same axis: holding Oxygen/Lambda Sensor at 30% of 2025 revenue, and taking Others while it grows at 12.14%.

Mexico

2nd-largest in Latin America, growing 2.3×.

  • In region 2 of 2
  • Of region 36.4%
  • Of global 2.1%
  • Revenue $0.04B → $0.09B

Within Latin America, Mexico accounts for 36.36% of regional revenue and 2.11% of the global total, worth USD 0.04 billion in 2025 and USD 0.09 billion by 2034.

Middle East and Africa Market Analysis

The 5th-largest region covered, holding its share flat through 2034, while revenue still grows 2.1×.

  • Rank 5 of 5
  • 2025 share 5.3%
  • By 2034 5.3%
  • Revenue $0.10B → $0.21B

Middle East and Africa holds 5.26% of the global gas sensors market in 2025, worth USD 0.1 billion with USD 0.21 billion projected for 2034. It is a marginal region on this axis, fifth by revenue throughout the period.

By 2034 the share stands at 5.26%, while nothing contracts here; other regions simply grow faster, which shows up as relative weight rather than as falling revenue.

Within the region the product split tracks the global one; 30% of 2025 revenue in Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, fastest growth of 12.14% in Others. Middle East and Africa is reported axis by axis and country by country in the full study.

Saudi Arabia

The largest market in Middle East and Africa, growing 2.3×.

  • In region 1 of 2
  • Of region 40%
  • Of global 2.1%
  • Revenue $0.04B → $0.09B

USD 0.04 billion of Middle East and Africa's 2025 revenue is generated in Saudi Arabia, the region's largest market, reaching USD 0.09 billion by 2034. 40% of the region in the base year makes it the largest market here without making it the region. Set against USD 0.1 billion and USD 0.21 billion for the region, it is why this market rather than a smaller one is the one reported in full.

Composition here matches the global split: the largest line is Oxygen/Lambda Sensor at 30% of 2025 revenue, easing to 26.07% by 2034, and the fastest is Others at 12.14%, from 10% to 13.78%. Because the country carries 40% of Middle East and Africa, a movement in its own mix shows up in the regional totals rather than being averaged away by neighbouring markets. Saudi Arabia carries its own product breakdown in the full report.

Gas sensors entering the Saudi market fall under the conformity assessment framework administered by the Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization, with registration and certificate issuance carried out through the SABER online platform before customs clearance is granted. Products must demonstrate conformity with applicable Gulf or Saudi technical standards covering safety and, for units used in oil, gas, or petrochemical environments, explosion protection appropriate to hazardous-area classification. Labelling must carry the required conformity marking along with hazard and usage information in Arabic. Equipment destined for use on major industrial sites may also need to satisfy additional operator-specific technical and civil-defense requirements before installation is approved.

Analysis

Report Coverage

This report assesses the market across every segment, with revenue and a growth rate for each line in each year of the study period. It covers the drivers, trends, opportunities, restraints and challenges shaping growth, the competitive landscape and the companies profiled, and the research methodology behind every estimate.

Competition

Competitive Landscape

Suppliers Compete on Oxygen/Lambda Sensor Volume and Others Momentum

The suppliers covered are: Honeywell International Inc., Robert Bosch GmbH, Figaro Engineering Inc., Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, MSA Safety Incorporated, Sensirion AG, ams-OSRAM AG, Amphenol Corporation, Emerson Electric Co., Nissha FIS Inc., SGX Sensortech, Alphasense Ltd, City Technology Ltd and Membrapor AG.

Where suppliers actually compete is along the product axis. Volume sits in Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, USD 0.57 billion and 30% of 2025 revenue, 26.07% by 2034, which is also where an incumbent is hardest to dislodge. Others, compounding at 12.14% against 6.9% for Oxygen/Lambda Sensor, is where share changes hands over the forecast period. A supplier positioned in one is not automatically positioned in the other, which is what keeps a field of this size viable in a market of USD 1.9 billion.

What separates suppliers in this market is manufacturing and certification scale, not brand alone. Electrochemical cell and sensing element production capacity, ATEX, IECEx and UL certification portfolios that cover multiple gas types and geographies, and calibration and service network density all decide who wins a specification. Large suppliers hold an advantage where a customer wants one qualified vendor across an entire facility or vehicle platform, since their certification breadth removes the need to qualify a second supplier. Smaller and regional suppliers compete on sensor element specialization for less common gas types, faster customization turnaround, and lower cost catalog parts sold through electronics distributors rather than safety equipment channels.

Geographic reach is the other axis of competition. Asia Pacific alone accounts for 37.89% of 2025 revenue, so a supplier absent there is absent from the largest part of the market whatever its position elsewhere; North America adds a further 26.84%.
