Global Infrared and Thermal Imaging Systems Market

Global Infrared Radiation (IR) and Thermal Imaging Systems were the major requirements for many critical applications in military systems. It is the vital component in night vision devices widely used by defense and in commercial space as well. The IR and Thermal imaging systems market can be divided into two categories:- cooled and uncooled. The cooled devices can be used for long-range monitoring as it provides more clarity with better vision. On the other hand, Uncooled devices are relatively cheaper compared to cooled devices and can be used for short distances. The sector demands hand held devices that drive towards the commercial IR and Thermal imaging sector in the near future.

End-user/Technology

The commercial sector mainly comprising of the security and surveillance, transportation sector, thermography, and other applications have wide usage of Infrared and thermal imaging systems. The integrated solutions for CCTV, smartphones and transportation have fuelled the demand for thermal imaging systems as it is the main technology adopted in those sectors. The implementation of thermographic cameras in the industrial applications is one of the driving factors of the IR and Thermal imaging systems market.

Market Dynamics:

The advancements in the defense technology and R&D had fuelled the growth of Infrared and Thermal imaging sensors. However, the market is highly dependent on the Governments' defense spending across worldwide. The highest thermal and geometrical resolutions introduced into a new product range with cooled and uncooled thermal imaging cameras are extensively used in defense application s. The wide acceptance of CCTV cameras across all industries also catered the demand for the Infrared and thermal imaging sensors. There is an increasing demand for smartphones that offers advanced technology to the users which catalyze the demand for Infrared and Thermal imaging systems
