The increasing military expenditure is notably driving the thermal imaging camera market growth, although factors such as the safety and privacy issues may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the thermal imaging camera industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Thermal Imaging Camera Market Driver
One of the key factors driving growth in the thermal imaging camera market is the increasing military expenditure. Global military spending grew by 6.1% in 2021 and accounted for $2.1 trillion. Amid the economic fallout triggered by the outbreak of COVID-19, global military spending grew significantly during April 2020-April 2022. This is primarily attributed to increasing R&D spending, which is focused on the development of next-generation technologies, such as thermal imaging cameras. The high revenue generated from its oil and gas industry helped Russia increase its military spending in 2021. Furthermore, China was the second-largest spender on the military sector and allocated an estimated amount of $293 billion to its military in 2021, an increase of 4.7% compared with the spending in 2020. Therefore, the global thermal imaging camera market is expected to witness growth.
Key Thermal Imaging Camera Market Trend
The improvement in photogrammetry and thermal imaging is a thermal imaging camera market trend that is expected to have a positive impact in the coming years. The penetration of the global thermal imaging camera market is expected to increase during the forecast period as more end-users are expected to invest in thermal sensors to capitalize on capabilities such as photogrammetry. The emergence of hyperspectral imagery to ensure more accuracy and improvement in the quality of images captured is expected to witness high growth during the forecast period. There will be an increase in the adoption of thermographic cameras that use a long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum for better detection of humans and warm-blooded animals. Thus, the surging demand for high-quality photogrammetry and thermal imaging features in devices is expected to drive the growth of the global thermal imaging camera market.
Key Thermal Imaging Camera Market Challenge
The safety and privacy issues will be a major challenge for the thermal imaging camera market during the forecast period. The improper use of thermal imaging cameras can measure body temperature inaccurately, which can potentially have serious public health risks. With the possibilities of camera malfunctions and errors, there is an increased risk of property damages and personal injuries. With such safety issues, vendors face the risk of being liable for damages. To improve their product offerings and retain a more resilient position in the global thermal imaging camera market, vendors need to direct their focus toward improvement in the thermal imaging resolution as the thermal imaging cameras are widely used in drones for geospatial inspection for various applications such as military and defense. Drones could be hijacked by tampering with the frequency-hopping sensors used in devices that use radio communications. Thus, the safety and privacy concerns related to thermal imaging cameras are expected to hamper the growth of the global thermal imaging camera market.
This thermal imaging camera market analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
