GLOBAL COOLED INFRARED IMAGING MARKET - TRENDS
Cooled thermal imaging cameras are costlier than the un-cooled ones and are primarily used in
defense applications for their sharp thermal contrast and effectiveness in long distance imaging
for man-sized targets.
The overall IR imaging market is around $4.9bn in 2013 and is expected to grow at 7%
during the period of 2013 – 2018.
Military and defense applications have a majority market share in this industry and the
commercial, dual-use applications have the remaining market share.
The report segments the cooler thermal imaging market by spectrum ranges, focal plane
array types and end use applications.
