According to the MarketsandMarkets  report "Spectroscopy IR Detector Market
 by Detector Technology (DTGS, MCT, InGaAs), Spectrum Sensitivity (NIR, 
Mid IR, and Far IR), Cooling Requirement (Cooled and Uncooled), Product 
Type (Benchtop, Portable, Hyphenated) - Global Forecast to 2022",
 the overall market is estimated  to be worth USD 224.5 Million by 2022,
 growing at a CAGR of 6.9% between 2016  and 2022, whereas the unit 
shipment of IR detector is expected to grow at a  CAGR of 7.7% between 
2016 and 2022. The major factors driving the growth of the  IR detector 
market for  IR spectroscopy include  upgradation of IR spectroscopy 
devices by replacing with new IR detector modules  and the growing 
shipment of IR spectroscopy devices in various industries.
The benchtop IR spectroscopy device segment held the largest share of the IR detector market in 2015
The benchtop IR spectroscopy device segment held the 
largest share of the IR detector market in 2015, while the market for 
portable IR spectroscopy device is expected to grow at a significant 
rate between 2016 and 2022. In the current scenario, benchtop IR 
spectroscopy plays a key role in a number of industries such as 
pharmaceutical, biological, chemicals, food & beverages, and others.
 The increasing shipment of benchtop and portable IR spectroscopy 
devices is driving the growth of the IR detector market.
Mid IR detector plays a key role in the IR detector market
The IR detector market for IR spectroscopy has been 
segmented on the basis of spectrum sensitivity into NIR, Mid IR, and Far
 IR. Of all these, mid IR is expected to hold the largest market share 
during the forcast period owing to the wide range of applications of mid
 IR spectroscopy in the research and industrial sector. Along with this,
 the market for NIR spectroscopy devices is expected to grow at a 
significant rate during the forecast period, which would, in turn, drive
 the growth of NIR detector market in the near future.
APAC region would grow at a significant rate during the forecast period
The market in APAC is expected to grow at a 
significant rate in the IR detector market for IR spectroscopy in the 
near future because of factors such as the presence of a large number of
 IR detector and IR spectroscopy device manufacturing companies in the 
region. For instance, in April 2016, Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (Japan) 
announced its plans to establish a new optosemiconductor manufacturing 
unit in Japan by February 2017. Similarly, Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.
 (U.S.) has expanded its business by establishing an innovation center 
in China; it has invested around USD 9.5 million for R&D in this 
center. Also, DANI Instruments SpA (Italy) has signed a distribution 
agreement with Labindia Instruments Pvt. Ltd. (India).
The key companies operating in the IR detector market
 include Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (Japan), Excelitas Technologies Corp. 
(U.S.), LASER Components GmbH (Germany), UTC Aerospace Systems (U.S.), 
Newport Corporation (U.S.), and others.
