Global Infrared Detector Market Research Report 2023-Competitive Analysis, Status and Outlook by Type, Downstream Industry, and Geography, Forecast to 2029

An infrared detector is an electronic device used to detect infrared radiation to measure heat and detect the movement of surrounding objects. These detectors convert infrared radiation into a measurable form. These detectors play an important role in many fields such as military, medical, smart home, automotive, etc.

Market Overview:

The latest research study on the global Infrared Detector market finds that the global Infrared Detector market reached a value of USD 1403.83 million in 2022. It’s expected that the market will achieve USD 2503.34 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.12% during the forecast period.

Further expansion of the infrared detector market in the Asia-Pacific region

As the military investment in the Asia-Pacific region continues to increase and the demand for the consumer electronics industry continues to increase, it is expected that the Asia-Pacific infrared detector market will grow at a relatively rapid rate during the forecast period. The infrared detector industry in the Asia-Pacific region started late and was mainly used in the military field in the early days. Since the 1990s, with the continuous advancement of industry technology, the application range of infrared detectors has gradually expanded to the civilian field, and the development speed has accelerated. At this stage, the research on infrared detectors in the Asia-Pacific region is continuously improving, and the products are constantly being updated, gradually forming a relatively complete infrared detector research and production system.

Expansion of application areas increases downstream demand

Infrared detector refers to an optical sensor that can respond to outside infrared radiation. Infrared detectors have the advantages of low power consumption, high sensitivity, easy integration, and multiple arrays. They are widely used in military and civilian fields, and market demand continues to grow.
Infrared detectors are suitable for a variety of applications in the medical, home appliance, security, military and automotive fields. Among them, the increasing adoption of the global automotive, smart home, medical and other fields will promote the growth of the infrared detector market.

Region Overview:

From 2023-2028, North America is estimated to witness robust growth prospects.

Company Overview:

Lynred is one of the major players operating in the Infrared Detector market, holding a share of 19.71% in 2023.

Lynred

Lynred is a global industry leader with advanced infrared detectors. Sofradir and ULISh are merged into Lynred. Sofradir SAS develops and manufactures infrared detectors and equipment. The company's products include cooled infrared detectors based on its own proprietary technology.

Flir Systems

FLIR Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets thermal imaging and broadcast camera systems for a variety of applications in the commercial and government markets. The Company makes products for condition monitoring, research and development, airborne observation and broadcast, search and rescue, and surveillance and reconnaissance.

Segmentation Overview:

Among different product types, Cooled IR Detector Technology segment is anticipated to contribute the largest market share in 2028.

Cooled IR Detector Technology

The advantage of Cooled IR Detector Technology is that it has high sensitivity, can distinguish more subtle temperature differences, and has a longer detection distance. It is mainly used in high-end military equipment.

Uncooled IR Detector Technology

Although Uncooled IR Detector Technology has a certain gap with the cooling device in the sensitivity, but the cost performance is obviously better than the cooling type, and has a wider application prospect. The uncooled detector does not require a cooling device and can work at room temperature. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, low power consumption, long life, low cost, and fast startup.

Application Overview:

By application, the Military segment occupied the biggest share from 2018 to 2022.
