Besides, vehicles used in the defense sector of various countries have observed a significant role of thermal imaging cameras, especially for surveillance around the borders & tracking movements in restricted areas, which has further boosted the market.
Covid-19 Severely Impacted the Global Thermal Imaging Market for Mobility
The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 caused significant loss to most industries worldwide. However, the Global Thermal Imaging Market for Mobility witnessed a balanced impact. Initially, with the rapid spread of the virus, the governments of different countries imposed stringent movement restrictions & frequent lockdowns to combat the spread of the virus.
Owing to these restrictions, manufacturing & distribution of products were the most prominent challenges faced by the market leaders. However, understanding the market dynamics, several leading players came up with new strategies and induced the demand for thermal imaging solutions, especially across the healthcare & aerospace sectors. Thermal imaging devices at the airports enabled non-contact temperature measurements to monitor Covid-19 cases.
Similarly, thermal imaging devices were also deployed at other transportation hubs where manual inspection of passengers was challenging. Also, thermal scanners acted as an effective measure to curb the virus spread. Hence, the global market underwent an upsurge in its growth amidst the crisis.
Market Segmentation
Based on Technology, the Global Thermal Imaging Market for Mobility Segments into:
- Cooled
- Uncooled
Here, the Uncooled thermal imaging technology dominated the market with the largest share, mainly because it is more cost-effective & delivers higher yields than the cooled thermal imaging technology. It operates at ambient temperatures and is deployed majorly by long-wave infrared cameras & near-infrared cameras, principally for security & surveillance applications. Uncooled thermal imagers are compact and do not require heavy packaging.
However, for 5 km or above ranges, cooled thermal imaging technology is more economical & reliable than uncooled imagers since the latter require heavy & costly lenses to increase its range. Cooled thermal cameras can detect even the slightest temperature anomaly and provide enhanced details in the image.
Aerospace & Defense Sector to Continue Dominating the Global Thermal Imaging Market for Mobility through 2027
The prime aspect behind the market dominance of the Aerospace & Defense sector is the better cost-efficiency of thermal imagers than lighting systems installed to secure border areas. Across the Aerospace sector, drones are gaining extensive traction, owing to their disruptive mishandling, thereby propelling the demand for counter-drone & drone detection systems integrated with thermal sensors and, in turn, driving the market.
Similarly, militaries worldwide constantly look for ways to keep up with modern equipment and provide their frontline soldiers with improved surveillance technologies. Thermal imaging systems have proved to be very helpful to the ground troops in assessing the temperature differences between enemies & inanimate objects by collecting infrared radiation and using it to form an image.
Moreover, the surging use of thermal devices in armored vehicles & weapon stations to provide situational awareness to the military personnel is another crucial aspect driving the market across the Defense sector, states MarkNtel Advisors in their research report, “Global Thermal Imaging Market for Mobility Analysis 2022.”
Regional Landscape
Based on the Geography, the Global Thermal Imaging Market for Mobility expands across:
- North America
- South America
- Europe
- Asia-Pacific
- Middle East & Africa
Here, North America is anticipated to lead the global market through 2027, mainly due to the mounting demand for thermal imagers for security & surveillance purposes, massive defense expenditure, and the extensive presence of leading market players across the region. The rapidly increasing investments by the US in upgrading its defense sector with advanced military gear, including thermal imaging cameras for improved conduction of surveillance & security operations, has significantly boosted the regional market.
On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is rapidly emerging as an extensive market for thermal imaging solutions owing to the surging military funding, especially across South Korea, India, & China, toward upgrading their military weapons and enhancing their defense bases. Presently, China is the world's second-largest country with high military spending and is adopting advanced weapons to strengthen its defense sector.
Moreover, the burgeoning population across Asia-Pacific and its increasing demand for improved transportation are boosting the regional automotive sector. Due to this, automakers are adopting thermal imaging technologies to provide people with better driver assistance. In addition, road tracking systems & night vision cameras are providing lucrative growth opportunities to the market across high-end vehicles in Asia-Pacific, thereby driving the regional market.
