Shortwave infrared (SWIR) technology helps the user understand the temperature of any body or surface with ease and without making any physical contact. SWIR manufacturers are coming up with newer technologies to cater to numerous applications where SWIR technology can be used to inspect, detect, and monitor the products to ensure the safety and reliability of the product for the user. The SWIR market is projected to grow from USD 192 million in 2020 to USD 278 million by 2025, at a CAGR of 9.5%. The growing demand for line-scan SWIR cameras for machine vision applications is one of the leading factors driving market growth. Additionally, factors such as technological advancements in SWIR detectors and demand for SWIR cameras in military & defense and commercial applications are also fueling the growth of the market. However, the high costs of SWIR cameras pose a challenge for market growth.

Line-scan SWIR technology, by scanning type, is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period
Line-scan SWIR technology enables users to see beyond the visible spectrum; it also helps in scanning the object/body line by line, thereby helping in covering the whole area of the object, thus providing an accurate image of the object. Line-scan SWIR detectors are highly used in manufacturing to find out flaws and rectify them before delivery.
Security & surveillance, by application type, is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period
SWIR imagers are complimentary to thermal imagers when it comes to vision enhancement and low visibility in poor weather conditions. Imagery in the SWIR technology is similar to visible imagery, in that it senses reflected light; thus, interpretation and scene analysis is better than thermal systems. Thermal imagers have good detection abilities, and such imagers are a good complement to SWIR technology. While thermal imaging can detect the presence of a warm object against a cool background, a SWIR detector can actually identify what that object is (for instance, ships, vehicles, or personnel).
Uncooled SWIR, by technology, is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period
In the uncooled SWIR technology, the infrared-detecting elements are contained in a unit that functions at ambient temperature. The common type of thermal imaging devices—uncooled systems—operates quietly and can be activated immediately. The other advantages of uncooled SWIR technology are its long service life and low sensitivity to light exposure, as well as the use of vanadium oxide resistors.
North America, by region, is expected to account for the largest market share during the forecast period
One of the major reasons for North America’s domination of the market is the presence of several prominent military & defense, scientific research, and medical players, which is generating demand for SWIR cameras. As North America is the largest producer of weapons and ancillaries, SWIR products are one of the important technologies being marketed. Moreover, several companies offering SWIR cameras are present in this region, which further adds to the growth of the SWIR market in North America.
A few key players operating in the North America SWIR market are Collins Aerospace (US), FLIR Systems (US), Xenics NV (Belgium), New Imaging Technologies (France), Allied Vision Technologies (Germany), Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. (Japan), Photon etc. (Canada), and Teledyne Princeton Instruments (US).
