Dublin, Nov. 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wr3drl/global_ir_imaging)
has announced the addition of the
"Global IR Imaging Market (2012 - 2017) - Forecast, Trend &
Analysis - Segmentation by Spectrum Range [SWIR, MWIR, LWIR &
FWIR cameras], Applications [Commercial, Military & Defense,
Industrial, Medical Imaging, Automotive, Others] &
Geography" report to their offering.
Global IR imaging market is expected to witness good growth as it
is being accepted across the geographies for various applications.
In 2011, the market for North America emerged as the biggest one
with respect to IR camera and is expected to stay on the top during
the forecasted period. However, our research says that two main IR
camera end-user applications in North America; namely commercial
and military and defense are relatively mature industries; thus the
growth is expected to remain on a lower side. IR cameras have not
yet penetrated in geographical regions other than North America,
thereby leaving a lot of scope for commercial application to grow.
Continuously flourishing economy of China is expected to be the
reason for this high growth as it is the second largest economy in
the world after the U.S. Apart from automotive applications, oil
and gas and commercial applications are also expected to contribute
significantly to the total IR imaging market in the APAC.
The overall IR imaging market is divided into two major
sub-markets, namely - thermography and vision enhancement
applications. FLIR Systems (U.S.) is the only one player operating
in both the above-mentioned markets and holds the top rank. It
holds nearly 65% of the total market share of IR imaging market and
is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecasted
period. There is a trend of vertical integration in IR imaging
market and nearly all the top players follow the same trend.
Companies such as FLIR Systems (U.S.), Axis Communications AB
(Sweden), and Samsung Techwin (South Korea) are few of the key
players in the global IR Imaging market with regards to commercial
vision application; whereas FLIR Systems (U.S.) and Fluke
Corporation (U.S.) are the prominent players in global IR Imaging
market for thermography application.
For the
IR imaging market; development of high speed infrared cameras,
rapidly decreasing cost, and continuous development in uncooled
microbolometer are acting as drivers. Lack of penetration in
geographical regions other than North America and availability of
competing technology are acting as restraints. Applications of
uncooled IR camera for Remote Sensing and Hyperspectral Imaging
will provide opportunities for IR imaging market. Besides, this
research reveals that manufacturers whose IR camera meets all the
essential criteria required by automotive and security application
will lead the market.
