Infrared (IR) detectors are transducers of radiant energy that converts the radiation of the objects in the IR range to a measurable form. In other words, an IR detector is a detector which reacts to IR radiation. Large-scale adoption of the IR detectors in the latest range of the applications such as consumer electronics and smart homes are driving the overall market.

IR detectors are successfully changing the conventional methods into modern techniques. Initially, they were developed for the military and defense applications, specially catering to the defense market. Since then, the uncooled IR detectors have penetrated various applications such as people and motion detection, temperature measurement, fire and gas detection, and biomedical imaging. Over the last 10 years, the commercial applications have grown significantly as a result of improved detector capabilities of uncooled IR detectors. Commercial applications, mainly people and motion detection, temperature measurement, fire and gas detection, and spectroscopy will remain the strategic market for the IR detectors and many companies will be fighting for larger share of this market.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the European market for IR detector. This report includes market size forecasts, market trends, and opportunities for the period from 2014 to 2019. The analysis has been conducted on various market segments derived on the basis of technology, spectral range, and geography. On the basis of technology, the market is segmented into MCT, InGaAs, pyroelectric, thermopiles, and microbolometers; on the basis of spectral range, the market is segmented into SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR. The geographical analysis includes the countries such as Germany, U.K., and France. The report also includes the key market drivers and inhibitors, along with their impact, in detail.

Apart from a general overview of the major companies in this market, this report also provides financial analysis, products, services, and the key developments of the major players in the industry. Murata Manufacturing (Japan), Hamamatsu (Japan), FLIR (U.S.), Excelitas (U.S.), and Nicera (Japan) are some of the leading players covered in the European IR detector market report.

The European IR detector market is estimated to grow due to various factors. The IR detector market for temperature sensor and motion-sensing applications is estimated to grow by the same CAGR of 11.1% and 10.1%, respectively during the forecast period as higher demand for security at commercial places such as airports, hotels, hospitals, and offices is expected to drive this application market. The demand from consumer electronics applications such as smart TVs, smartphones, and tablets is also expected to push the sales of IR detectors in the coming years.

The European IR detector market is estimated at $99.7 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $164.0 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2014 to 2019.
