Thermal Imaging Market Trend, Share, Growth, Size and Forecast 2030

Market Overview

The global Thermal Imaging Market accounted for USD 10.28 Billion in 2020 and is expected to reach USD 17.71 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2021 to 2028.     

Thermal imaging is a non-contact technique that is employed to capture infrared wavelengths emitted through objects, further it processes these inputs into a picture. The out of this process forms a color palette that represents the temperature range of the captured image. These are completely radiometric by gauging and recording infrared wavelengths at every point within the image. Increasing demands for security and surveillance for residential and homeland security will escalate the thermal imaging market Additionally, increasing adoption of integrated solutions across commercial applications along with the utilization of thermal imaging in high-resolution cameras and smartphones would further fuel the expansion of the industry.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis:

The COVID-19 have led to stern consequences because it has deepened the expansion to a big level, and the thermal imaging market was not an exception. The demand for thermal imaging primarily depends on the residential and commercial sectors among others. The covid-19 pandemic has brought these sectors on back foot as they need to respect the loss in revenue. This is due to the closure of many small and large-scale producing facilities owing to lockdowns. However, the industry has huge growth potential and profits in the coming years.

Growth Factors  

Increasing demand for surveillance and security application in a public and private environment is one factor that boosts the thermal imaging market. Increased urbanization is predicted to extend the demand for extra advanced security solutions. Increasing investment in infrastructural systems alongside developing demand for surveillance is another chief factor for the market growth. In budgets, thermal cameras have been also driving the market. Increased demand for the wireless temperature sensors.
