Market Growth Factors

The international near infrared imaging market is driven by rising demand for non-intrusive real-time imaging in medical applications such as cancer diagnosis and treatment and technological advancements in near-infrared cameras. Furthermore, its use in pharmaceutical research can prove helpful for drug development and the growth of the market in the years to come.

Another driving force is the development of small, lightweight, low-power and high-performance near infrared cameras that can be used in a hand-held format for medical diagnosis, agricultural use and industrial inspection. Miniature cameras are inexpensive and portable and have become very common in the industry sector for applications of many types.

Growing demand for NDT and quality control is another driver for the market. Manufacturers in several industries such as automotive, aerospace, and pharmaceutical use near-infrared imaging to find defects, cracks, and other inconsistencies without affecting the quality of the product. Furthermore, high-resolution real-time images assist in reducing product recalls, improving the quality of products manufactured, and increasing inspection efficiency, which will propel the growth of the market.

In addition, there are various government programs and regulations to assist near infra-red imaging applications in healthcare, agriculture and manufacturing. These programs have some incentives to the doctors and the agricultural institutions. Also, the products need to pass some certification tests for quality. Industry regulatory policies like quality and environmental standards have created an opportune business environment.
