Varied Uses of Infrared Sensors in Different End Use Industries to Boost the Growth of Global Infrared Sensor Market by 2024

With the rapid advancements in technology, the modern day infrared sensors have become light in weight and have also become more affordable, with a decline in their pricing. In addition, the power consumption in such sensors is also low and these factors are contributing in infrared sensors gaining traction in a variety of applications ranging from the military to IoT applications. With the help of infrared sensors, infrared red light can be detected from far away, which can be operated in real time and movements can be detected instantaneously, and these properties make infrared sensors ideal for the purpose of security. In today’s context, the networked digital and data-heavy battle space have become crucial for military security and success. Hence, the main application of infrared sensors in military is in the sector of motion imagery that helps in the identification of military targets. Infrared sensors help in increasing the situational awareness of the operator by providing the ability to recognize sea, land and waterway features and contact patrol craft and small boats in near shore environment, where the performance of surface radars is limited.
IoT applications for infrared sensors include medical equipment, home appliances with temperature control, non-contact temperature measurements, movement detection and the ability to measure body temperature among others. For instance, infrared sensors are used to measure the emitted thermal radiation from powerful motors and equipment without coming in contact with them. Such kind of infrared sensors are also not affected by electrical noise, due to which their usage is steadily rising in industrial applications.
With the increasing concerns about environment protection and energy conservation, there have been various initiatives taken by the governments all over the world to conserve energy and this is boosting the demand for infrared sensors. As there is rising consciousness about energy savings, it is expected to trigger the need for installing occupancy and vacancy sensors across various indoor and outdoor applications. Such kind of occupancy and vacancy sensors use infrared sensors to detect the presence of a moving object and accordingly control the operation of various lighting applications. This enables the reduction in overall energy consumption and helps to save energy to a great extent.

In the field of consumer electronics, infrared sensors are used extensively since they are inexpensive, have become smaller in size and have become much more efficient. Due to such factors, their use has increased tremendously in smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, gaming, home appliances, etc. The consumer electronics segment was valued at US$ 40 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 97.9 Mn in the year 2024. The aerospace and defense segment was valued at US$ 42.1 Mn in 2017 and is forecasted to touch a valuation of US$ 101.1 Mn in the year 2024. Due to the large amounts of investments in developing aircraft and defense equipment by the United States and Europe, the demand for infrared sensors is being boosted during the forecast period. The mining segment was valued at US$ 43.8 Mn in 2017 and is anticipated to reach a valuation of US$ 104.8 Mn in the year 2024. In the mining industry, infrared sensors are used for the detection of gases in mines, which help in maintaining the safety aspects in the operation of mines.
