SWIR detectors are used for night vision, heat detection, and surveillance. Over the years, technology, size and performance of detectors have changed due to continuous product development. Size, weight, and power are the key parameters which define the performance of SWIR detectors. Initially, SWIR detectors were developed for the military and defense applications. Over time, uncooled infrared (IR) detectors penetrated into various applications, such as people and motion detection, temperature measurement, fire and gas detection, and bio medical imaging. Over the last ten years, commercial applications have grown significantly as a result of improved detector capabilities of uncooled SWIR detectors. In commercial applications, people and motion detection, temperature measurement, fire & gas detection, and spectroscopy will remain the key growth areas for SWIR detector market, with several companies looking to expand their shares in this segment.

Continuous reduction in the price of SWIR spectral range detectors throughout the forecast period will increase the penetration of these detectors in fast-growing applications, such as smart homes, medical imaging, security/surveillance, and automotive industry.

In terms of region, Brazil leads the market with the largest market share in 2014. Brazil and Argentina are expected to contribute to the growth of the South American SWIR market. The advancement in materials used for making sensors has made sensing in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) range possible. The ability to see-through is one of the main advantages of SWIR imaging as compared to other technologies.
