Infrared Camera Market was valued at $ 2,382.5 million in 2019 and is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2020 to 2027. The infrared camera is a non-contact temperature measurement device that detects heat, also known as infrared energy, which is then converted into an electronic signal and is processed to produce a thermal image to perform temperature calculations. The thermal image which is reflected on the screen is called a thermogram and this process is also called thermography. According to a report produced by Intelligent Network Video, thermal cameras are the absolute best for monitoring and surveillance purposes. This because, since thermal cameras detect heat that is generated by any person, they can function perfectly in absolute darkness thereby not alerting the intruder.

Growth Impact Factors
The growing demand for thermal imaging to detect medical conditions
According to the International Journal of Innovative IR (Infrared) Camera Market and Exploring Engineering, thermography is now extensively applied in the research and development of non- invasive diagnosis for numerous medical conditions. The medical conditions which come under the R&D of non- invasive diagnosis are fever, diabetes, breast cancer/ carcinoma, and hypothermia/ fever. These 4 common conditions are where thermography shows some potential in the visual study and heat analysis. The sudden rise in COVID 19 cases across the globe has increased the demand for infrared cameras to check the body temperature instantly. Hence infrared cameras are increasingly being used for thermal imaging in the medical industry which is increasing the growth of the infrared camera market.
The growing use of IR Camera in modern surveillance systems
As mentioned before, infrared cameras are undergoing constant innovations and developments as a result of which they are increasingly being used in military Wavelengths and law and enforcement. Infrared cameras work well even in darkness because the ambient light level is not required. This is because all objects emit some amount of heat or thermal IR radiation which is captured and converted by these cameras on the screen. Therefore, infrared cameras are being applied across widely across the military and defense sector and this will boost the infrared camera market.
Increasing penetration of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)
Vehicle manufacturers globally are keen on integrating infrared cameras in vehicles in order to make them safer, secure, and create autonomous and efficient vehicles. The vehicles which have infrared cameras have the advantage of night vision as well as pedestrian and animal detection.
Infrared manufacturers globally can focus largely on two areas which are ADAS and thermography for diagnosing medical conditions since these two areas are still a part of the market which is not fully exploited as yet. The European New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) has imposed stringent regulation on the OEM to comply with vehicle security and this factor can also boost the infrared market in the future by making it mandatory for all vehicles to install this system.
