Portable Thermal Imagers MarketSize and Trends

The Global Portable Thermal Imagers Market accounted for US$ 3.67 Bn in terms of value in 2023 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% during the forecast period (2023-2030). A thermal imager is a temperature-measuring instrument. Thermal imagers are also known as thermographic cameras, infrared cameras, and thermal imaging cameras. There are two types of thermal imagers, portable and fixed. These thermal imagers are non-contact type, which means that there is no physical contact between the material, of which temperature needs to be measured, and the instrument. Thermal imagers detect the infrared energy emitted, transmitted, or reflected by all materials. The device creates similar images as those made by regular cameras but with infrared radiation.
