Infrared Emitter & Receiver market Segment Analysis – By Geography
North America held the highest market share of 30.56% of global IR emitter and receiver market in 2020, owing to the early adoption of this technology and growing requirement for security surveillance system coupled with high investment in defense sector. According to a recent report, in 2019, United States invested a massive amount of fund in defense sector, which widened the gap between the U.S. and the second largest defense spender, China. This report shows that, the total amount invested in weapon procurement and weapon R&D projects by the U.S. alone exceeded China’s total defense budget. Such investments on defense sector create huge demand for IR emitter and receiver technology. Furthermore, the presence of major market players fuels the growth of this market. In May 2020, FLIR launched its new MWIR thermal camera, FLIR RS8500 MWIR, which is a combination of MWIR detector and a telescope, suitable for various industrial applications such as outdoor research, military, aerospace and defense, public as well as private research labs, film production and others. The above-mentioned factors are poised to create tremendous growth opportunities for Infrared Emitter and Receiver Market of North America during the forecast period.
Infrared Emitter & Receiver Market Drivers
Adoption of Infrared (IR)Technology for security & Surveillance:
The adoption of IR imaging for security and surveillance is one of the main drivers of the market. Growing security concerns and increasing tensions across countries are triggering the need for better surveillance system, resulting in rising adoption of this technology. IR technology captures a clear picture that cannot be seen with naked eyes, making it perfectly suitable as a 24*7 surveillance system for border safety, harbor security, remote monitoring, site protection, search and rescue missions, hidden things detection and others, thus affecting the growth of IR emitter and receiver market positively.
