Infrared Detector Market Analysis

The infrared detector market is expected to register a cagr of 9.4% over the forecast period of (2021 - 2026). The rising use of infrared detectors in industrial and manufacturing applications and an increase in the demand for consumer electronics, such as smartphones and tablets, are expected to aid the growth of the infrared detectors market.

  • Infrared detectors are gaining momentum as a highly significant security apparatus in various applications, due to the quickly advancing technologies. They are used in industrial plants to monitor the efficient functioning of motors, boilers, electrical peripherals, and bearings.
  • Emerging trends that are impacting the infrared detector market include an increase in the use of infrared detectors for smart homes, night vision, and surveillance.
  • However, the high cost of technology and low reliability and usability in harsh environmental conditions are hampering the growth of the infrared detectors market.

Infrared Detector Market Trends

This section covers the major market trends shaping the Infrared Detector Market according to our research experts:

People and Motion Sensing Application is Anticipated to Lead the Market

  • The infrared detector is mainly used in the people and motion sensing applications and is anticipated to the lead the overall market during the forecast period. The increasing use of infrared detectors in places, such as retail shops, airports, homes, museums, and libraries for counting people and motion detection had contributed to its dominance in the market.
  • An increase in the deployment of smart homes devices may augment the need for infrared detectors. In homes, infrared detectors serve two primary purposes: intrusion detection and occupancy detection.
  • Occupancy-related infrared detectors identify a person’s presence by detecting the minor human body motions entering and leaving any of small fields of view. Intrusion-related sensors help to ignore the minor action, like pet movements and non-moving objects of changing temperature. Intrusion detectors can distinguish pets from people by size, not only by relative IR signal strength.
  • Thus, the positive impact of infrared detectors may be enormous. Smart home systems provide an ideal use case because they cannot function without smart sensors. Thus, the aforementioned factors are expected to aid the growth of the infrared detectors market.
