Market Overview:
The global infrared imaging market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for infrared imaging in firefighting, industrial imaging, security, and surveillance applications. Additionally, the growing adoption of infrared technology in automotive applications is also contributing to the growth of this market. However, factors such as high cost and limited availability of skilled professionals are restraining the growth of this market. On the basis of type, short wave infrared (SWIR) imaging held a major share of the global IR imaging market in 2017 and is expected to maintain its dominance during the forecast period. This can be attributed to SWIR’s ability to provide high-quality images even under low light conditions.

Product Definition:
IR Imaging is the process of capturing an image using infrared radiation. This can be used to see things that are not visible to the naked eye, such as heat signatures. IR Imaging can be used for a variety of purposes, including security, medical diagnosis, and research.
Short Wave Infrared (Swir) Imaging:
Short wave infrared imaging is a technique that uses infrared radiation to capture images. It is mainly used for objects that are difficult or impossible to see with normal visible light cameras. Short-wave IR cameras can produce excellent quality images in poor lighting and at night, which makes them very useful in security surveillance applications as well as research and development activities related to medicine, food industry, agriculture etc.
Medium Wave Infrared (Mwir) Imaging:
The infrared imaging market is expected to grow at a significant rate owing to the increasing demand for thermal imaging devices in security, surveillance, and remote sensing applications. The technology has gained popularity as it can detect objects in total darkness and it helps overcome the limitations of other technologies such as night-vision goggles or normal vision cameras.
Application Insights:
The industrial imaging segment dominated the global market in 2017. The growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for advanced security systems and technological solutions at manufacturing facilities. Industrial infrared cameras are used to monitor activities, identify intruders, and check for unwanted entry into restricted areas such as gas stations, electrical plants, chemical warehouses or storage tanks. These cameras are also used in smart energy grids that use infrasonic waves to detect if there is any tampering with power lines or equipment.
These types of imaging systems have applications across a wide range of industries including oil & gas exploration & production; food processing; pharmaceuticals; water treatment; pulp & paper mills; mining (excluding firefighting); critical infrastructure sectors like transportation and utilities among others. They are widely used by governments worldwide due to their ability to provide secure access control over large areas such as airports or seaports among other sensitive sites where safety is important like military bases and government buildings etcetera).
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The growth of this region can be attributed to the presence of major players such as General Electric, Honeywell International Inc., and ITT Corporation. These companies are actively involved in R&D activities for developing advanced sensors and associated technologies. Moreover, these players have established a strong distribution network that enables them to reach out to various end-users with their products and solutions.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness lucrative growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from emerging economies such as India, China, Japan, etc.; growing defense spending by countries like India & China; rising industrial automation across numerous sectors; etc.). Furthermore, an increase in government initiatives for fire safety infrastructure development is also likely contribute toward regional market growth over the next eight years (2018 - 2030).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for minimally invasive surgeries: IR imaging helps surgeons to perform surgeries with minimal invasiveness, which is driving the demand for IR imaging systems.
- Growing prevalence of cancer and other diseases: The increasing prevalence of cancer and other diseases is fueling the demand for IR imaging systems as they help in early diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.
- Rising number of hospitals and clinics: The rising number of hospitals and clinics is leading to an increase in the demand for IR imaging systems as they are used extensively in these settings.
- Technological advancements: The technological advancements in IR imaging are helping to improve the performance of these systems, thereby driving their growth.
