Market Introduction
Thermal scanners detect body heat radiation usually from the forehead, then estimate core body temperature. These cameras are a powerful tool often used by firefighters to track smoldering 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 patient's body temperature and take necessary action based on scanner results. The airline industry 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. 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 addition to increasing demand for additional advanced security solutions, the rapid urbanization of the entire MEA countries would lead to the robust growth of the thermal scanners industry. Infrared heat scanner detects passively absorbed infrared radiation from objects that are more concealed than other active imaging systems that are supplied with the light. The infrared thermal scanners are used in military recognized research, monitoring, and guidance because of its excellent concealment, good anti-interference, strong target detection capabilities, and all weather conditions. It is widely used in weapons and fittings. Thus, the rise in demand for thermal scanners during COVID-19 pandemic is expected to create a significant demand for thermal scanners in the coming years, which is further anticipated to drive the MEA thermal scanners market.
In MEA, South Africa has the highest number of COVID-19 confirmed cases, and Saudi Arabia and UAE follow it among other countries. UAE was the first country in MEA to report a confirmed case of coronavirus. As the lockdown restrictions are getting comfortable, the business units, companies, and commercial areas such as airports are reopening. Due to this lockdown reopening, the risk to the workforce of contacting with the disease is high. Therefore, companies such as Robert Bosch GmbH, FLIR Systems, Inc.; and AMETEK Inc. are some of the prominent players taking active participation in developing thermal scanners for COVID-19. On the contrary, during the first quarter, the use of thermal scanners was limited as manufacturing units and companies were shut down; however, with technological innovations and ease in lockdown situations, the use of thermal scanners is rising across the MEA region. And, the stationary thermal cameras are predicted to be used at public facilities such as airports. Resume of airport services, factories, offices, and manufacturing units using cameras with thermal technology will ensure the virus's prevention. Countries like Saudi Arabia and UAE have large number of industries present within their territory, which will influence the use of thermal imaging systems.
Market Overview and Dynamics
The thermal scanners market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 239.87 million in 2019 to US$ 385.19 million by 2027; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% from 2020 to 2027. As many countries undergoing the COVID-19 unlock stages, multiple measures are being taken by the companies to ensure the safety of their employees and partners. They are adopting handheld thermal scanners, compelling the use of masks and sanitizers, and so on. To ensure safety, it has become commonplace to use a handheld thermal scanning device at the entry points of offices, restaurants, hospitals, or any public place. However, these thermal scanners, which were initially designed for industrial use to test large machines' temperature, cannot accurately detect proper temperatures unless they are recalibrated for mediation. But recently, many wireless thermal scanning devices have come into the MEA market that can accurately measure individuals' exact temperature and record that data without any manual intervention. These thermal scanners are designed for medical use, as it is capable of quickly detecting, recording, and transmitting the temperature data without requiring any physical contact with operators. This is bolstering the growth of the MEA thermal scanners market.
