The Future of IR (Infrared) Camera….. COVID-19 & Its Impact….



The global IR (Infrared) camera market size is expected to reach USD 5.10 billion by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. IR cameras help identify the site of tissue damage in case of injuries, and are expected to witness surging demand in medical imaging applications. They have been extensively used by airports during the outbreak of epidemics to identify and screen passengers with elevated body temperatures. Microbolometer development has resulted in increased commercialization, which is also expected to be a key market driver.
To address the surge of COVID-19, governments all over the world are developing stringent surveillance mechanisms to ensure that people in high-risk zones, or those instructed to be under strict home quarantine. Smartphone apps integrated with geotagging features have been rolled out by various governments to ensure adherence to social distancing. Health surveillance in the wake of this pandemic has essentially become a mic of technology and human intelligence. The updated report will account for Covid19 as a key market contributor.
High demand for IR cameras across several emerging market segments including food service and distribution, healthcare and screening, veterinary science, automotive care, maritime vessel inspections and aircraft inspection offer opportunities for market growth. Incorporating infrared cameras in smartphones at lower costs is expected to present vistas for market growth for companies operating in the market. Declining defense spending may pose a barrier to the global IR camera market over the next six years.
Security & surveillance accounts for a considerable percentage of the commercial applications, and a few key IR camera manufacturers such as Samsung Techwin (South Korea), FLIR Systems (U.S.), Axis Communications AB (Sweden) are increasingly focusing on this market. Technological advancements coupled with a rapid reduction in price are expected to be the key factors driving IR camera demand in the fast growing commercial application segment. A few other market players include Fluke Corp, Seek Thermal Inc., Raytheon Company and Testo AG.
