Infrared Thermography Market for Building Inspection by Product (Cameras, Scopes, Modules), Solution (Handheld Thermal Camera, Fixed Mount Camera, Unmanned Infrared System), Platform (IR lens, Uncooled IR detector), Building Type - Global Forecast to 2028

The infrared thermography market for building inspection is projected to reach USD 606 million by 2028 from USD 445 million in 2023, at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2023 to 2028. Penetration of infrared cameras in the consumer electronics industry and emerging infrared imaging applications in automotive sector are the major opportunities that lie in front of the market.

Increasing demand for thermal modules to propel market growth.

Thermal modules play a key role in several systems used for delivering superior image quality. They are designed and manufactured for easy and efficient integration in higher-level assemblies and platforms. They offer two main advantages— (i) the ability to measure temperature (ii) vision in complete darkness. They are available in small sizes, are lightweight, and consume low power and produce the same image under different light conditions. They are suitable for inspection applications and are integrated into UAVs, telescopes, and aimers. Along with technological advancements, thermal module manufacturers have been developing low-cost and smaller cores to cater to the global demand.

High adoption of thermal scopes accelerating market growth.

Thermal scopes have emerged as essential tools for precise building inspection. By detecting temperature variations, they unveil hidden problems like insulation issues, water leaks, and electrical anomalies. These scopes provide rapid, non-destructive assessments, enabling proactive maintenance and cost-effective repairs. These scopes are used in diagnostics and veterinary, building and construction checks, search and rescue, hunting, forestry, airport security, and border control.

Increased usage of thermal cameras for moisture detection in buildings

Moisture inspection using thermal imaging in buildings involves the use of infrared cameras to detect temperature variations on surfaces, revealing potential areas of moisture accumulation or leaks. As moisture affects thermal properties, wet regions display different temperatures than dry areas. During the inspection, these cameras scan building components like walls, ceilings, and floors, creating visual images that highlight anomalies.

North America is expected to account for largest market share during the forecast period.

The market in North America accounted for the largest share of the infrared imaging market in 2023. The presence of major service providers in the North American region and moreover, the focus of the building owners towards adopting predictive maintenance, makes this region a prominent market for infrared thermographic inspections. Overall, the combination of increasing demand in the building and construction industry, increased adoption in building inspection, technological advancements, and the presence of major producers has led to the growth of infrared thermography in building inspection in North America.
