With global industries becoming increasingly automated and safety standards continuously rising, the demand for infrared thermal imaging is growing rapidly. Often referred to as “the third eye” of intelligent perception, it stands out for its non-contact operation, all-weather functionality, and exceptional sensitivity. These features have made it an essential sensing technology across industrial inspection, intelligent security, healthcare, and consumer electronics.
According to Yole Development’s 2024 Infrared Imaging Market Report, the global infrared imaging market expanded from USD 3.5 billion in 2020 to USD 5.8 billion in 2023 (CAGR 18.7%) and is projected to reach USD 12 billion by 2029 with a CAGR of 16.5%. The consumer and industrial sectors together are expected to contribute over 70% of the market’s incremental growth. By addressing challenges such as delayed detection, environmental limitations, and dependence on manual inspection, infrared imaging has proven its ability to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enable a shift from passive response to proactive prevention. With core component costs declining by more than 60% in the past three years and AI algorithms achieving over 95% detection accuracy, its potential continues to expand as a vital sensing technology in the era of intelligent connectivity (AIoT).
