Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the thermal scanner industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Thermal Scanner Market Driver
The increasing demand from airports for passenger screening is one of the key factors driving the growth of the global thermal scanner market. Since the lifting of lockdowns, the rapid growth of air passenger traffic has necessitated radical changes in the SOP of airport terminals to cater to the flow of traffic with minimum capacity constraints while ensuring zero lapses in security protocols. The rising cases of communicable diseases are a particularly difficult issue that is negatively impacting stakeholders in the airline industry. In addition, the recent outbreak of COVID-19 globally has raised hygiene concerns among the global population. The pandemic disease is spread through meeting an infected patient or even by touching any infected area or place that has already met the infected person. Fever, sore throat, and difficulty in breathing are some of the symptoms shown by patients. To prevent the transmission of this disease, airline companies across the globe have started taking several precautionary measures, such as the use of thermal scanners for inspecting passengers? body temperature and disinfecting the airport surroundings. Thus, the rising variants of the COVID-19 virus and the risk of the third wave are increasing the demand for thermal scanners in airports.
Key Thermal Scanner Market Trend
The increasing demand for compact thermal scanners will fuel the global thermal scanner market. Vendors are focusing on reducing the overall size of thermal scanning devices and are providing compact thermal scanners. Some vendors have developed compact thermal scanners that can be plugged into mobile and can scan the temperature of surrounding equipment and components. Vendors such as FLIR and Seek Thermal offer compact and plug-in mobile thermal scanners. The effectiveness of thermal scanners has increased their demand in industrial and commercial facilities for mobile applications. In industries such as oil and gas and mining, where the operations are carried out in remote locations, compact scanners provide an effective option to carry out remote inspection of equipment. Similarly, professionals that have to carry out inspections of electrical systems in residential areas can use these plug-in thermal cameras. Owing to the benefits, the demand for compact thermal scanners is expected to increase during the forecast period.
Key Thermal Scanner Market Challenge
The excessive export restrictions imposed on thermal imaging products are a major challenge for the global thermal scanner market growth. Thermal scanners are majorly used in military and defense-related applications. The high application of thermal scanners, thermal cameras, and infrared sensors in military applications has resulted in stringent regulations on the export of these devices around the world. For instance, thermal scanner and thermal imaging systems are categorized under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) by the US Department of State. Under this regulation, the export of these devices is restricted to certain countries. Nonconformance with the regulation can lead to heavy fines on suppliers, affecting the profitability of the firm. For instance, FLIR Systems Inc. (FLIR Systems) was accused of violating the ITAR and Arms Export Control Act after they shared ITAR-controlled defense items with dual-national employees from Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, and Cuba. Post the trial, the US State Department and FLIR Systems officially reached a settlement, and the company was required to pay a $30 million civil penalty. Such cases can severely impact the profitability of companies and affect the export of products.
