Global InGaAs SWIR Detector Market Growth 2025-2031

Global InGaAs SWIR Detector Market Growth 2025-2031

The global InGaAs SWIR Detector market size is predicted to grow from US$ 243 million in 2025 to US$ 381 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2025 to 2031.

Indium gallium arsenic (InGaAs) material is considered to be an excellent material for making short wave infrared detector. The cutoff wavelength of short wave infrared detector made of InGaAs is about 1.7 μ m, which has the advantages of high absorption coefficient, high mobility and high detection rate.

The primary materials used for manufacturing short-wave infrared detectors include HgCdTe, InGaAs, PbS, and PtSi. With the continuous improvement in the growth and chip fabrication processes for InGaAs, detectors made from this material have become the best choice for SWIR applications. They boast a quantum efficiency of approximately 70% to 90%, a high mobility of around 8000 cm²/(V·s) at room temperature, along with high sensitivity, fast response times, and cost-effectiveness.

InGaAs SWIR detectors are widely used in various market sectors, including military, security monitoring, industrial applications, medical imaging, and scientific research. Major global manufacturers of InGaAs SWIR detectors include Hamamatsu Photonics, SCD, Lynred, I3system, Teledyne Technologies, and Sensors Unlimited. These leading companies are renowned in the industry for their outstanding product performance and customer satisfaction. However, market competition is intensifying, with more manufacturers entering the InGaAs SWIR detector space, including prominent domestic manufacturers in China such as Jiwu Optoelectronics, Guohui Optoelectronics, Zhongke Dexin, and Lideng Optoelectronics.

The main types of InGaAs SWIR detectors include single-element, linear array, and two-dimensional array detectors, with single-element InGaAs SWIR detectors holding the largest market share in terms of sales.

The primary consumer regions for InGaAs SWIR detectors are North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, with the Asia-Pacific region being the largest consumer, accounting for approximately 43% of global revenue in 2022.
