In this market, pyroelectric, thermopile, microbolometer, indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) are the major infrared sensor . Pyroelectric sensor is expected to remain the largest sensor type due to the increasing demand for people motion sensing in the commercial building and gas and flame detection in the industrial facilities. Lucintel predicts that the demand for microbolometer is likely to experience the highest growth in the forecast period supported by increasing demand in smart home.

Within the infrared sensor market, people and motion sensing is expected to remain the largest segment due to increasing usage of infrared sensors for people counting and motion detection in the commercial sector. Lucintel predicts that the demand for smart home is likely to experience the highest growth in the forecast period, supported by increasing demand for consumer convenience, safety and security, and the rising need for energy efficiency.

Asia Pacific is expected to remain the largest region and to witness the highest growth over the forecast period because of an increase in demand of smartphone, tablets, and smart TVs, and growth in industrial and home automation.

For business expansion, the report suggests innovation and new product development to provide greater accuracy and to reduce cost of sensor. Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include increasing use of infrared sensors in smart homes and increasing use of infrared sensors for night vision and surveillance. Excelitas Technologies Corporation, Hamamatsu Photonics, FLIR Systems Inc., Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd., and Texas Instruments Inc. are among the major infrared sensor suppliers.
