Short Wave IR or short wave infrared detectors have wavelengths of 1μm – 4 μm. These detectors are meant to deliver better performance in comparison to others. Water absorption increases significantly at 1,500nm. The spectral range from 1,500 to 1,580 is the key range popular for long distance communications. InGaAs and the MCT technology are mainly used for manufacturing SWIR detectors. A SWIR image is similar to visible light, and photons are reflected or absorbed by an object, providing a strong contrast needed for high-resolution imaging. Ambient star light and background radiance (nightglow) are natural emitters of SWIR, and they provide excellent illumination for outdoor and night-time detection.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the North American market for SWIR. This report includes market size forecasts, market trends and opportunities for the period from 2014 to 2019 and an overview of the competitive landscape from 2011 to 2014. The analysis has been conducted on the various market segments derived on the basis of industrial sector, application, and geography. On the basis of the industrial sector, the market has been segmented into Semiconductor Industry, Manufacturing & Process Industry, Agriculture Industry, Scientific Research & Life sciences, Automotive Industry, Commercial, and Military & Defense. The geographic analysis includes the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. 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 key developments of major players in the industry. FLIR systems, Inc. (U.S.), Headwall Photonics Inc. (U.S.), Allied Vision Technologies (Germany), Opto Engineering (Italy), Xenics (Belgium), and DRS Technologies, Inc. (U.S.) are some of the leading players covered in the North-American SWIR market report.

The North-American SWIR market is expected to witness a significant growth in coming years due to multiple factors. Major firms in the SWIR market intend to continue and preserve their market share or produce incremental income streams. The increasing growth of automotive industry, manufacturing & processes industry, and commercial sector is expected to drive the SWIR market in the region. Also, the increasing government expenditure in the military & defense sector is expected to drive the growth of the SWIR market of the region. Two main SWIR camera end-user applications in North America; namely commercial and military and defense are relatively mature industries; thus the growth is expected to remain on a lower side.

The North-American SWIR market was valued at $15.97 million in 2014 and is projected to reach $28.23 million by 2019, at a CAGR of 14.6% from 2014 to 2019. In the North American region, the U.S. is the key market for SWIR, having accounted for 88% of the market share in 2014.
