Market Introduction
Thermal scanners detect body heat radiation-usually from the forehead-then estimate core body temperature. These cameras are a potent tool often used by firefighters to track smouldering embers and police to search for suspects who are out of sight. COVID-19 outbreak has increased demand from healthcare facilities for the thermal scanners. The device helps healthcare professionals monitor the temperature of the patient's body and take necessary action based on scanner results. The airline industry across Europe has also increased demand for thermal scanners, where air passengers are screened for any symptoms of the virus. Those factors will affect market growth over the forecast period. Further, increasing demand for thermal scanners at airports for mass screening, increasing government spending in the aerospace and defense sectors, increasing R&D investments by companies, governments, and capital firms to develop innovative thermal scanning solutions and increasing the adoption of thermal scanners in the automotive industry are key factors contributing to this market growth in Europe.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The thermal scanners market in Europe is expected to grow from US$ 1092.89 million in 2019 to US$ 2170.29 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.4% from 2020 to 2027. The low-pricing of technology has opened a newer market for thermal imaging products in the mainstream applications. Today, thermal imaging technology is not only utilized to surveillance and security application but also utilized for predictive maintenance across diverse industry verticals. The thermal imagers are useful anywhere electrical and mechanical equipment or process temperatures required to be monitored. This includes weld monitoring, pressure vessels, plastic injector molding, glassware manufacturing, and more. Infrared cameras can be utilized in any of the manufacturing facilities. Manufacturing facilities, substations, and refineries are using thermal scanners and cameras to remotely inspect the equipment, identify components at risk of overheating, and offer response before a component fails. Moreover, industries such as carpet manufacturing and food processing where the heat is used for the manufacturing process can be benefited by the technology to automate and enhance the fire safety control. Thus, increasing adoption of advanced thermal devices in various industry applications is driving the growth of Europe thermal scanners market.
Due to COVID-19 outbreak, Spain, Italy, Germany, UK, and France are some of the worst affected member states in the European region. The region is a major manufacturing and industrial hub for sectors automotive, construction, aerospace, energy & power, and IT & telecom. Businesses in the region are facing severe financial difficulties as they either had to suspend their operations to control spread of coronavirus. Hence, due to business lockdowns, travel bans, and supply chain disruptions, the industries have witnessed huge loss and hence use of thermal scanners was limited. Therefore, to combat this situation, players operating in this region are developing thermal scanners to contain further spread of the virus.
