The infrared thermometers market is estimated to increase by USD 812.99 million, growing at a CAGR of 16.5% between 2022 and 2027. The growth of the market depends on several factors, including the increasing prevalence of contagious and chronic diseases, the wide application across industries, and the high level of accuracy. The escalating incidence of contagious and chronic illnesses stands as the pivotal driver behind the expansion of the global market. The emergence of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains of microorganisms, along with the emergence of novel bacterial and viral ailments, remains the primary catalyst for infectious diseases on a global scale. This resulted in severe strains on medical resources, with countries like China and Italy facing shortages of essential supplies, while healthcare facilities, including hospitals and ICU wards, struggled to accommodate the surge in patient numbers.

North America is projected to contribute 36% of market growth by 2027. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
In 2022, North America was the leading geographical segment in the global market. The market in North America is expected to grow at a moderate rate during the forecast period. In 2022, the US and Canada were the major revenue contributors to the regional market, owing to the increasing number of people with chronic health conditions, the rising number of new product launches, and the presence of both local and global companies. In addition, the presence of global vendors such as Fluke, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and PositiveID in the US drives the market growth in the region.
The Infrared Thermometers Market is witnessing significant growth driven by the need for non-contact solutions in combating infectious diseases like Malaria and Dengue. These thermometers offer versatile measurement points such as the ear and forehead, making them multifunctional for medical, veterinary, and even dairy protein-based product industries. With distribution channels spanning hospital and retail pharmacies to online stores, accessibility is enhanced across various sectors. Advanced technologies ensure accuracy and energy efficiency, catering to price-sensitive markets without compromising health safety concerns. However, challenges persist regarding accuracy and measurement, particularly in price-sensitive markets. Innovations in smart technologies aim to address these concerns while promoting eco-friendly products. As demand rises, especially in sectors like the automobile and HVAC industries, infrared thermometers play a pivotal role in ensuring health safety and environmental sustainability.
The increasing prevalence of contagious and chronic diseases is the key factor driving the global market's growth. The development of multi-drug resistant (MDR) strains of microorganisms and the rise of new bacterial and viral diseases are the primary causes of infectious diseases worldwide. In March 2020, the WHO declared the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic as it had spread to many countries and territories. Many countries, such as China and Italy, ran out of medical supplies and healthcare facilities such as hospitals and ICU wards could not provide medical and healthcare services to the surge in the number of patients.
High fever is one of the most common symptoms of COVID-19. Therefore, the demand increased rapidly to identify people with COVID-19 symptoms. Since most are non-contact temperature-monitoring devices, their demand increased further because they do not involve any physical contact and can prevent the spread of the disease. In addition, the rapidly growing population, lifestyle changes, urbanization, civil wars, and climate change have increased the prevalence of various infectious diseases. Thereby, the increasing prevalence of infectious and chronic diseases is likely to drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
The increasing demand from airports to screen passengers will fuel the global market's growth. The rapid growth in air passenger traffic has necessitated radical changes in the standard operating procedures (SOP) followed in airport terminals to cater to the increased passenger numbers with minimum capacity constraints while ensuring zero lapses in security protocols. The rising prevalence of communicable diseases negatively impacts the profit and operations of stakeholders in the airline industry.
The increasing prevalence of communicable diseases has led to the implementation of health-monitoring procedures at various checkpoints. In addition, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 globally has raised hygiene concerns among the global population. The novel coronavirus disease can spread from person to person through droplets generated when an infected person sneezes or coughs or even by touching any infected area or place that has already come into contact with the infected person. Thus, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic will increase the demand in airports during the forecast period.
The high cost of infrared thermometers is a major challenge to the global market's growth. The global market is growing at a steady pace. However, the high cost, especially in price-sensitive markets such as developing and emerging economies, has hindered market growth. Furthermore, technological advancements are increasing the price. The prices are much higher than that of other types of thermometers, such as liquid-filled glass thermometers and digital thermometers. In addition, the adoption of smart and connected infrared thermometers is limited to high-end applications in developed countries due to their high-cost features.
Industrial users that frequently use thermometers prefer due to their accuracy and wide range of temperature measurements. However, the adoption rate is substantially low in developing countries owing to the high cost of the product. The low adoption rate of high-end products in developing countries is likely to impact the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
