Global NIR-SWIR Imaging Cameras Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global NIR-SWIR Imaging Cameras market size was valued at US$ 203 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 316 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 6.5% during review period.

NIR-SWIR imaging cameras cover the wavelength range from 900nm to 1700nm. SWIR is similar to visible light in that photons are reflected or absorbed by objects, providing the strong contrast needed for higher resolution imaging. A large number of applications that are difficult or impossible to perform using visible light have achieved great results using short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging. Shortwave Infrared Imaging (SWIR) is an advanced technology used to generate images from radiation in regions of the electromagnetic spectrum that are invisible to the naked eye. At the same time, short-wave infrared imaging cameras can image through glass.

SWIR imaging with InGaAs-based sensors is ideal for non-destructive inspection of objects and their structures, coatings, and other features. SWIR images are starting to gain more and more importance in industrial machine vision for quality assessment. Commonly referred to as near-infrared (NIR) imagers, SWIR imagers can see objects and events that visual and thermal cameras cannot. They are smaller, lighter and cost much less than all other thermal imaging cameras. SWIR imaging cameras open up a wide range of possibilities for computer vision applications, as they can identify unseen component defects as well as desired properties. For example, during the bottle production phase, SWIR InGaAs cameras enable internal and external inspection of glass bottles. With the ability to thermally image hot objects between 250°C and 800°C, these cameras can monitor the temperature uniformity and cooling rate of the glass. As a result, manufacturers are able to continuously track output to optimize yield and efficiency. Growing demand for SWIR cameras for security and surveillance activities in military and defense vertical is one of the major factors driving the growth of this market. These cameras are used for research purposes in numerous fields such as semiconductor production, nanotechnology and life sciences as well as research and low energy technology. Furthermore, the deployment of SWIR cameras for defense applications has had a significant impact on the industry. Growing demand for these cameras in control and inspection applications is also expected to drive the market. They can display higher-resolution images through pictures and exhibit excellent performance even in clouds, rain and other harsh atmospheric environments.
