Infrared (IR) imaging refers to a technology designed to measure the temperature of an object by capturing infrared lighting and converting it into visible light. It comprises various components, such as detectors, lens systems, and sensors. It is highly suitable for identifying temperature fluctuations in various kinds of equipment. It assists in identifying night vision, navigation, flight control, and early warning systems. It aids in allowing technicians to recognize problems in sanitation systems and piping and check the location of mold in buildings. Besides this, it is beneficial in preventing the early diagnosis of numerous disorders among individuals. As a result, infrared imaging is widely employed in the automotive, aerospace, healthcare, electronics, semiconductor, oil and gas, and military and defense industries across the globe.
Infrared Imaging Market Trends:
Presently, the rising demand for IR imaging solutions for security and surveillance applications, as they have an ability to easily operate in harsh environments, such as smoke, water vapor, fog, and haze, represent one of the key factors supporting the growth of the market. Apart from this, the growing adoption of IR imaging to analyze biological samples with minimal sample preparation and without the utilization of contrast enhancement agents is positively influencing the market. Additionally, the rising prevalence of various gastrointestinal, neurological, cardiovascular, and cancer diseases among individuals across the globe is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Besides this, the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and the internet of things (IoT) in IR imaging is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, the rising utilization of IR imaging in the military and defense industry to identify human or object movement monitoring and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense detection is bolstering the growth of the market. Moreover, the growing demand for IR imaging due to the increasing consumer preference for minimally invasive surgical procedures to diagnose numerous diseases is offering a favorable market outlook. In line with this, the rising utilization of IR imaging in airports to detect swine flu, acute respiratory syndrome, and ebola virus diseases (EVD) among passengers is impelling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing demand for mounted IR imaging devices in hospitals and diagnostic centers across the globe is contributing to the growth of the market.
