SWIR refers to Short-wave infrared, which
defines a specific wavelength range over which electronic and optical
components are coated & designed. Most of the SWIR cameras available in the
marketplace are used InGaAS (Indium Gallium Arsenide) sensor. It can detect
wavelength between 900nm-1700 nm that is not visible by CMOS or CCD camera and
human eye. This type of camera provides numerous benefits to consumer which
includes lightweight, lower price and low power consumption capacity. In
addition to this, SWIR imaging compromises several other benefits compared to
other visible instruments when used for various types of application which
includes sorting, quality control, inspection, and surveillance among others
applications. Furthermore, semiconductor industry integrates SWIR imaging
cameras for testing, inspection, and quality control purpose.
According to study, “Global
SWIR Cameras Market 2019 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and
Application, Forecast to 2024” the key companies operating in the Global SWIR
cameras market are FLIR Systems, Sensors Unlimited, Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.,
Allied Vision Technologies, Xenics, InView Technology, Hgh Infrared Systems,
Princeton Instruments, Infratec, Photon Etc., Intevac, C-Thermal, IRCameras,
New Imaging Technologies, Opgal Optronic Industries, Fluxdata, Princeton

Based on scanning type, SWIR cameras market is
segmented into line scan and area scan. Based on technology, market is
segmented into cooled infrared imaging and uncooled infrared imaging. Cooled
infrared imaging SWIR camera has detectors that are more sensitive than
uncooled SWIR cameras, while the cost of uncooled cameras is usually lower than
that of cooled cameras. Based on application, market is segmented into
inspection of semiconductor material, food analysis and shorting, plastic
shorting, hyper spectral imaging, metal process monitoring & inspection,
airborne imaging sensing, geology and mineral inspection. In addition, based on
vertical, market is segmented into industrial and non-industrial. Industrial
segment is further sub-segmented into food & beverages, electronics &
semiconductors, aerospace, glass and others. Additionally, non-industrial
segment is further sub-segmented into medical, civil infrastructure, military
& defense and scientific research.
The SWIR cameras market is driven by rise in
penetration of SWIR cameras in commercial vertical, followed by high popularity
of InGaAs SWIR cameras, rise in need for miniaturization & low-power
consumption technology growth in development of technologically advanced SWIR
product and rise in military & defense vertical. However, high cost of SWIR
cameras and growth in regulations on import & export of infrared products
may impact the market. Moreover, expansion of application areas of SWIR cameras
is a key opportunity for market.
Based on geography, the North-American region
holds largest share in SWIR cameras market owing to high technological adoption
of SWIR camera laser in military & defense, industrial and others
industries in the region. The Asian-Pacific region is expected to witness
higher growth rate due to industrially developing economies over the forecast
period. It is estimated that future of the market will be bright on account of
growth in government investments on military devices during the forecast
period. The worldwide market for SWIR Cameras is estimated to grow at a CAGR of
approximately 8.9% over the next five years, will reach US $190 million in
2024, from US $130 million in 2019.
