Thermal Camera Market By Type, By Application, By End User, and Region Forecast 2020-2031
Thermal Camera Market size was valued at US$ 4.9 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach US$ 8.0 million by 2031, growing at a significant CAGR of 7.3% from 2025-2031. A thermal camera is non-contact equipment that recognizes infrared energy (heat) and converts it into a photographic image. Thermal cameras collect IR energy and convert it to analog or digital video outputs to generate images. Thermal imagers use heat instead of visible light to produce images. Thermal cameras, which were formerly developed for surveillance and military operations, are now extensively used for building inspection (insulation, moisture, insulation, roofing, and others), firefighting, autonomous vehicles & automatic braking, skin temperature screening, industrial inspections, scientific research, and other applications. With an increasing demand for thermal cameras among various sectors is primarily driving the market for a thermal camera. Additionally, the automotive and healthcare sectors are also propelling the market demand. Furthermore, the growing demand for advanced thermal imaging solutions in military & defense sectors also supports market growth.
The market growth is constrained by export restrictions on thermal imaging cameras imposed by the U.S. Government. Under these restrictions, manufacturers of thermal cameras will be banned from selling their products to buyers in the U.S. or other regions out of the country. During the forecast period, increased R&D activities by prominent market players and technological advancements in thermal cameras are anticipated to drive revenue growth in the market. As per the regional analysis of the market, the Asia-Pacific market share is expected to grow during the forecasted period owing to increasing military expenditure to revolutionize the country's military armaments. For instance, currently, China is also leading in making more advances to military sectors.
In April 2020, FLIR launched a smart thermal sensor solution for industrial monitoring and elevated skin temperature screening.

The global market of thermal cameras is primarily driven by increasing demand for thermal cameras from the automotive industries. Thermal cameras are used in the automotive industry to help drivers to work in poor light and bad weather conditions, reducing accidents and maintaining safety. The automobile industry is working with thermal imaging solution providers, to generate cutting-edge thermal imaging technology. Such as, Magnetic Marely, an Italian developer and producer of high-tech car components, works together on the development of the Viper thermal detection camera, to ensure that vehicle safety while saving time and money. Thermal imaging technology is also used for automotive components tires and brakes, as well as micro-components for non-destructive testing.
North America will dominate the market over the forecasted period, with a significant revenue share in the historic period, owing to growing manufacturing centers, research and development centers, and the existence of prominent key players in the global market of thermal cameras. For instance, In June 2019, Harris Corporation (Florida, US) and L3 Technologies (New York), and L3HARRIS TECHNOLOGIES, INC., joined to establish a new military technology firm. Additionally, In Oct 2019, The US Army awarded Leonardo DRS a contract to provide advanced thermal imagery technology (TS III) for the army's remote combat vehicle weapon stations. The combination was made to serve a variety of industries, increase market share, and expand the worldwide client base. The Asia Pacific is also anticipated to significant growth rate over the forecasted period, due to interesting military expenditures. Also, China is one major country that boosts its military spending, which further fuels market growth.
