Thermal Imaging Market by Type (Handheld Cameras, Fixed Cameras, Scopes, Modules), Technology (Cooled, Uncooled), Wavelength (SWIR, MWIR, LWIR), Application (Security & Surveillance)-Global Forecast to 2031
The research report titled, 'Thermal Imaging Market by Type (Handheld Cameras, Fixed Cameras, Scopes, Modules), Technology (Cooled, Uncooled), Wavelength (SWIR, MWIR, LWIR), Application (Security & Surveillance)-Global Forecast to 2031' provides an in-depth analysis of thermal imaging market in five major geographies and emphasizes on the current market trends, market sizes, market shares, recent developments, and forecasts till 2031.
The thermal imaging Market is expected to reach $7.8 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2024 to 2031.
This market's growth is driven by the increasing need for surveillance & security solutions and the increased use of thermal imaging in manufacturing & industrial settings. However, the availability of alternative imaging technologies, such as visible light cameras and radar systems, may limit the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the surge in demand for thermal imaging in healthcare, increased military and defense spending on advanced surveillance technologies, and the rise of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are driving market growth. However, the high cost of thermal imaging devices is a major challenge for the players operating in this market.
The thermal imaging market is segmented by type, technology, wavelength, and application. This study also evaluates end-user industry competitors and analyzes the market at the region/country level.
Based on type, the thermal imaging market is broadly segmented into handheld/portable cameras, fixed/mounted cameras, scopes & eyewear, and modules. In 2024, the handheld/portable cameras segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 55.0% of the thermal imaging market. However, the fixed/mounted cameras segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rising need to provide continuous, high-precision, real-time monitoring of critical infrastructure without the need for manual intervention and rising adoption of fixed/mounted cameras for integration with automated security and monitoring systems are expected to support the growth of this segment.
Based on technology, the thermal imaging market is broadly segmented into cooled thermal imaging and uncooled thermal imaging. In 2024, the cooled thermal imaging segment is expected to account for a larger share of over 64.0% of the thermal imaging market. However, the uncooled thermal imaging segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing demand for uncooled thermal imagers for HVAC inspections and automotive safety and the increasing adoption of uncooled thermal imaging products in wildlife monitoring is expected to support the growth of this segment.
Based on wavelength, the thermal imaging market is broadly segmented into shortwave infrared (SWIR), mid-wave infrared (MWIR), and longwave infrared (LWIR). In 2024, the LWIR segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 49.0% of the thermal imaging market. However, the SWIR segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing demand for SWIR technology in medical diagnostics for non-invasive imaging and the rising adoption of SWIR in various applications such as search and rescue, firefighting, and military operations are expected to support the growth of this segment.
Based on application, the thermal imaging market is segmented into aerospace & defense, security & surveillance, building & construction, personal vision systems, healthcare & medical diagnostics, energy & utilities, agriculture, research & development, search & rescue operations, marine systems, and other applications. In 2024, the security & surveillance segment is expected to account for the largest share of over 41.0% of the thermal imaging market. However, the healthcare & medical diagnostics segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing adoption of thermal imaging to monitor chronic conditions and increasing demand for thermal imaging technology owing to its non-invasive nature for early disease detection is expected to support the growth of this segment.
Based on geography, the thermal imaging market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa. In 2024, North America is expected to account for the largest share of over 36.0% of the thermal imaging market. The substantial market share held by North America can be attributed to the increasing technological advancements in thermal imaging, high investments in advanced technologies for military and defense applications, and the increasing deployment of thermal imaging in large-scale surveillance applications.
However, the Asia-Pacific region is estimated to register the highest CAGR of over 8.5% during the forecast period. This region's rapid progress is primarily driven by the expanding industrial sector and applications driving the need for thermal imaging to monitor equipment, rising investments in border security, and growing healthcare infrastructure and focus on improving medical diagnostics. Moreover, the increasing growth of this regional market is attributed to the expansion of regional economies and rapid infrastructure development, particularly in Japan, South Korea, and India.
