Infrared sensors are devices that detect and measure infrared radiation emitted by objects in their field of view. They work by detecting changes in the temperature or radiation intensity of the infrared energy emitted by objects and then convert this information into an electrical signal that can be interpreted by other devices or systems. The two main types of infrared sensors are passive and active, which can be used in a variety of applications, including optical power meters, radiation thermometers, motion detectors, night vision devices, and proximity sensors as infrared sensors can detect changes in the infrared radiation emitted by objects. The growing demand for automation and control systems, the need for non-contact temperature measurement, and the increasing adoption of night vision devices are driving the demand for infrared sensors, thereby propelling their market growth.
The surge in automotive and electronic device production will boost the growth of the infrared sensors market.
A proximity sensor is an electronic device that is used to detect the presence of nearby objects without physical contact. Infrared sensors are particularly useful in proximity sensors because they can detect the infrared radiation emitted by objects and use this information to determine their proximity. The demand for proximity sensors has been increasing in the automotive, and consumer electronics sectors. In the automotive industry, proximity sensors are used for parking assistance, collision avoidance, and other safety features, whereas they are particularly useful for touchless control, gesture recognition, and other features that improve the user experience in smartphones, tablets, and other consumer electronics devices. The growing production of automotive and consumer electronic devices will boost the demand for infrared sensors. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the global production of passenger vehicles increased to 61.59 million in 2022 from 57.05 million in 2021. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), smartphone shipments from India crossed 168 million units in CY 2021, and in 2022, smartphone shipments from India were expected to reach ~190 million. This demonstrates that infrared sensors hold a great demand in the future.
The growing adoption of night vision devices will boost the growth of the infrared sensors market.
Night vision devices like night vision goggles, binoculars, thermal imaging cameras, and others use infrared technology to detect and amplify the faint light available at night, allowing users to see in the dark. Infrared sensors are particularly useful in night vision devices because they can detect infrared radiation even in total darkness. Night vision devices are used in applications like military and law enforcement, hunting, wildlife observation, and navigation. Growing demand for night vision devices in such applications is boosting the demand for infrared sensors. In 2022, a global defense and homeland security solutions provider of India was awarded the contract to design & develop night vision goggles for Light Utility Helicopters (LUH) by state-owned Hindustan Aeronautics (HAL) where pilots flying (LUH) in different terrains and day/night will get to wear indigenously manufactured Aviation Night Vision Goggles (ANVG).
During the forecast period, the Asia Pacific is expected to hold a significant market share
The Asia Pacific region will account for a major market share due rapidly growing consumer electronics market in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, coupled with the growing automotive industry, and increasing usage of night vision devices. In February 2022, to boost India's domestic vehicle production and draw in new investment, 20 automakers were selected to receive production-linked incentives (PLI), including Tata Motors Ltd, Suzuki Motor Gujarat, Mahindra & Mahindra, Hyundai, and Kia India Pvt. Ltd. The 20 automakers have suggested investment of about Rs. 45,000 crores ($5.95 billion) overall. In 2021, the Chinese government announced "Export Tax Rebate Adjustment" to adjust the export tax rebate rates for certain products, including consumer electronics. The adjustment aimed to support the export of high-value-added products and boost the competitiveness of Chinese companies in the global market. Such growing developments will boost the demand for infrared sensors as they are used in automobiles, and consumer electronics, thereby boosting the regional market growth.
