IR Camera Market size to exceed $6.8bn by 2023

IR Camera Market size is poised to surpass USD 6.8 billion by 2023; according to a new research report by Global Market Insights, Inc.
 

While these devices were limited to niche and specific application sectors such as military and defense, technology developments have led to growth in the global IR camera market share. The presence of a viable pricing landscape coupled with uncooled imaging technology advancements is responsible for large IR camera market size across various end-use areas.
 

MEMS technology based microbolometers have gained prominence in the industry, and aided in faster commercialization of products such as thermal-technology based imagers. Miniaturization has led to lower IR camera market price trend, which is set to drive revenue growth over the next few years. Untapped growth areas, such as in the automotive sector, will provide opportunities for expansion for companies operating in the industry. Near-Infrared (NIR) based systems improve night-time driving conditions. For example, FLIR Systems has developed PathFindIR, a compact camera that helps the driver to detect potential hazards, ensuring faster reaction to any possible danger. The company works on the OEM solutions with Autoliv.
