The growing aviation industry is expected to contribute to the global thermal screening market growth. The extensive use of thermal screening in defense aircraft in the military and passenger airplanes is expected to propel demand for screening solutions. The surging demand for flights due to rising business travel by people worldwide is further expected to favor the demand for the product.

The automotive industry is also exploring the idea of thermal scanners and cameras in smart cars. The aim is to ensure efficient driving in challenging road conditions such as low visibility. For example, in July 2020, FLIR and VSI Labs conducted tests with four commercially available vehicles in challenging conditions using a thermal camera. These innovations are also expected to garner demand of the product.

Expanding Application of Thermal Cameras in Automotive to Augment Growth

The global thermal screening market size is expected to grow at an accelerated pace in the forthcoming years. This type of screening refers to the technique of analyzing the thermal characteristics of an object using a thermograph. This is used widely in defense, aerospace, commercial, industrial, and healthcare sectors. The extensive use of thermal imaging in military and espionage for identification, location, and targeting objectives is a major driver of the product.

The pandemic experienced a boom in the sales of thermal screening devices. These devices were widely used as primary screening devices in various public spaces. Health experts repeatedly advised using an infrared thermometer to detect fever- a common symptom of COVID-19. There was panic buying thermometer across various distribution channels such as online stores, retail stores, and others.

Product segmentation is divided into thermal scopes, thermal modules, and thermal cameras. The application is in monitoring and inspection, security and surveillance, and measurement & detection. The end-user industry is industrial, commercial, aerospace and defense, automotive, and healthcare. The geography of the product is North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the rest of the world.
