Terahertz Technology Market Analysis
The Terahertz Technologies Market size is estimated at USD 0.71 billion in 2024, and is expected to reach USD 2.32 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 21.82% during the forecast period (2024-2029).
Terahertz technology is an emerging and growing field with the potential for developing applications ranging from passenger scanning at an airport to large digital data transfers. The adoption of terahertz systems in the semiconductor industry is one factor contributing to the growth of the terahertz technology industry.
- Terahertz-based technologies are now entering the commercial markets in various industries, such as security, non-destructive testing, automotive, and telecommunication. This further creates an opportunity for the market. Researchers have developed a terahertz (Terahertz) transmitter capable of transmitting digital data at a rate ten times or faster than that offered by fifth-generation mobile networks (5G). The terahertz band is a new and vast frequency resource expected to be used for future ultrahigh-speed wireless communications, driving the market's growth.
- The implementation of the 5G network and 6G network necessitates the use of high-bandwidth oriented fiber optical cables integrated with optical transceivers to ensure secure and dependable data transfers. Consequently, the expanding optical communication infrastructure in low and middle-income countries is expected to drive the optical communication and networking equipment market in the future.
- Due to higher bandwidth and frequency, Terahertz technology has greater prospective applications for short-distance communication services. The increasing investments in the enhancement of wireless communication systems and the 5G market might also help develop the market. Furthermore, the existing technologies for inspecting agricultural products are time-consuming and complex, and there is an inclination to develop a safe, rapid, and non-destructive inspection technology.
- Insufficient knowledge and awareness about terahertz technology's applications hinder this market's growth. Since terahertz imaging is still a relatively new technology, replacing the existing technologies currently dominating the market is difficult.
- During COVID-19, the terahertz technology market witnessed growth, with its major applications in healthcare, biomedical, and security. Furthermore, in the post-pandemic period, various organizations and vendors are expected to invest in R&D of the terahertz technology solution that can be applied in multiple end-user applications, thereby driving the growth of the market studied.
