The shortwave infrared (SWIR) market is expected to be valued at USD 147 million in 2018 and is likely to reach USD 258 million by 2024, at a CAGR of 9.87% during the forecast period. High demand for SWIR products from the nonindustrial vertical is one of the major factors driving the growth of the market. Moreover, SWIR cameras are increasingly being used in various industries such as electronics and semiconductors, food & beverages, and aerospace for machine vision application; this factor is also expected to considerably boost the growth of the said market in the coming years.
In this report, the SWIR market, by technology, has been segmented into cooled and uncooled. Among the two, uncooled segment is expected to hold a larger share of the market throughout the forecast period. The dominant position of this segment can be attributed to the high demand for uncooled SWIR cameras owing to their low cost compared with cooled SWIR cameras. Security & surveillance is the major application area for which uncooled SWIR cameras are used in the SWIR market.
North America to account for largest market share during forecast period
North America is expected to account for the largest share of SWIR market during the forecast period. The market in this region is also expected to witness significant growth during 2018–2024.
