Market Overview and Growth Trajectory:
Market Growth: The Thermal Imaging market is expected to reach US$ 7.66 billion by 2031 from US$ 4.54 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 7.7% during the forecast period. Thermal imaging is a sophisticated, noninvasive technique that uses infrared technology to detect heat emissions from various objects. This process transforms infrared energy—which is invisible to the human eye—into a visible light display. Thermal imaging is based on the variations in the infrared (IR) energy emitted by all objects above absolute zero temperature. A color palette, with each color representing a specific range of temperatures, makes it easier to interpret a thermal image. For example, shades of blue frequently indicate cooler temperatures, whereas shades of red indicate hotter areas. In industrial inspections, a thermal imaging camera helps detect overheated components, insulation failures, and other potential issues. Thermal imagers can detect hot spots during electrical inspections, indicating areas at risk of overheating or fire.

Rise in Military Expenditure: In April 2024, global military spending surged amid wars and rising geopolitical tensions, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). The change in the modern warfare system has been urging governments of various countries across the globe to allocate higher funds toward respective military forces. The budget allocation enables military forces to procure advanced technologies and equipment from domestic or international manufacturers. Various countries are adopting military vehicle modernization practices. The continuous demand for new technologies for combat and noncombat operations by the defense forces is further boosting defense spending worldwide. According to Australia's budget for 2024–2025, the government will spend US$ 36.8 billion on defense, an increase of 6.3% compared to 2023–2024. In the budget release for the fiscal year 2024–2025, the government has dedicated US$ 25.2 billion for equipment acquisitions for the coming fiscal year. Under the New Zealand 2023–2024 defense budget, the Royal New Zealand Navy will receive ~US$ 418 million (NZ$ 714 million)—an increase from the 2022-2023’s US$ 391 million (NZ$ 667 million). Similarly, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) revealed that the US defense spending accounted for ~40% of global military spending in 2023. Additional military assistance supplied to Ukraine to aid its conflict contributed to a US$ 55 billion rise in US defense spending between 2022 and 2023.
