Abstract
The market for infrared thermography is undergoing dramatic changes. Focal plane array technologies previously dominated by the military are being opened up to the commercial sector, new uncooled technologies are advancing rapidly and entirely new applications are emerging. Maxtech International has carried out its second in-depth analysis of these markets within two years. In 1994, the U.S. market for commercial (and dual-use) infrared thermography equipment reached $100 million and is expected to grow to $250 million by 1999. As part of the analysis, a survey of over 3,900 users of infrared thermography equipment has been completed. Included are segmentation by end-user industry and expected spending projections in various market segments.
