Microbolometer Infrared Detector Market

Microbolometers are used in infrared (IR) imaging systems because they can detect and measure light from objects that are too distant or too small to be seen with the naked eye. As technology has improved, microbolometers are now used in consumer and industrial markets as well as the military. This has increased demand for these detectors.

Microbolometers have two modes of operation: passive and active. In passive mode, they simply detect the presence of infrared radiation in the environment. Most thermal imaging cameras operate in this mode. They also emit a very faint infrared signal in active mode and detect reflections from objects in the scene. This enables them to see objects that do not emit any infrared radiation, such as humans.

During the forecast period of 2018 to 2031, the global microbolometer infrared detector market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around **%. The increasing demand for infrared detectors in various applications, such as automotive, consumer electronics, and industrial, is the primary factor driving market growth.

Due to rising demand from countries such as China, India, Japan, and South Korea, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to be the largest market for microbolometer infrared detectors. The Americas are expected to be the second-largest market because they are home to many of the world's top manufacturers and because demand from end-use industries like auto and consumer electronics is growing.

Due to strict safety rules for cars, the European region is expected to grow at a moderate rate over the next few years.

This report talks about some of the major players in the market, such as FLIR Systems, ULIS, Sofradir, Raytheon Company, Teledyne Technologies, BAE Systems, and L-3 Technologies Holdings.
