Infrared Thermography Market size was valued at over USD 400 million in 2022 and is estimated to register a CAGR of over 5.5% between 2023 and 2032. The increasing adoption of Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) methods is driving the market growth due to its ability to provide quick and accurate insights into the condition of materials & equipment without causing damage.
Infrared thermography is a valuable NDT technique that utilizes thermal imaging to detect anomalies such as overheating electrical components, structural defects, or moisture intrusion. It is non-invasive, cost-effective & time-efficient, making it ideal for preventive maintenance and quality control in various industries such as manufacturing, construction & aerospace. As industries prioritize safety, efficiency & asset integrity, the demand for infrared thermography technology continues to rise.
For instance, in November 2022, Teledyne FLIR launched FLIR ONE Edge Pro, a wireless thermal-visible camera for mobile devices. Unlike previous models, the reimagined FLIR ONE Edge Pro does not need a physical connection to its companion mobile device, thus providing maximum thermal inspection flexibility.

Export restrictions imposed on thermal imaging products including those used in infrared thermography are typically driven by national security concerns. These products have applications in military & defense technology, surveillance, and critical infrastructure protection. Governments aim to prevent sensitive technology from falling into the wrong hands, thereby safeguarding their military & national security. Export controls also address potential risks related to the misuse of thermal imaging technology in illicit activities. These restrictions help ensure responsible and secure use of these products; however, they can also impact international trade & innovation in the market, particularly for companies reliant on international sales.
