INFRARED THERMOMETER MARKET ANALYSIS

Market Challenges And Opportunities

Global Infrared Thermometer Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

Since the COVID-19 virus outbreak in December 2019, the disease spread to over 100 countries across the globe, and the World Health Organization declared it a public health emergency on January 30, 2020.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a positive impact on the global infrared thermometer  market, owing to increasing use of infrared thermometer for patients screening around the world suffering  from COVID-19. For instance, in August 2022,  according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2020, Ministries of Health of almost all the countries are focusing on the screening of travelers at the point–of–entry for coronavirus symptoms. The screening involves two stages: primary screening involves the checking of the obvious signs of illness such as measuring temperature of the travelers and taking information about travel and exposure history. Secondary screening involves screening tests conducted by healthcare professionals. Due to the importance of primary screening process, there will be an increase in demand for infrared thermometers, which is expected to drive growth of the market over the forecast period.

Global Infrared Thermometer Market: Restraints

Limitations of Infrared Thermometer

The factors such as limitation of infrared thermometer, and disadvantages of infrared thermometer is expected to hinder growth of the market. For instance, in April 2020, according to the data provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, there are some limitation of infrared thermometer as follow:

• How and where the infrared thermometer is used may affect the measurement (for example, head covers, environment, positioning on forehead)
• The close distance required to properly take a person’s temperature represents a risk of spreading disease between the person using the device and the person being evaluated.

The limitation can hamper the market growth but if the manufactures worked on limitation associated with infrared thermometers then it can helps to increased the efficiency of infrared thermometer and helps to maintain the quality of product
