Market Definition
A digital infrared thermometer provides the actual surface temperature at a single, relatively small point on a machine or surface. Within a predictive maintenance program, the point-of-use infrared thermometer can be used with many microprocessor-based vibration instruments to monitor the temperature at critical points on plant machinery or equipment. This technique is typically used to monitor bearing cap temperatures, motor winding temperatures, spot checks of process piping temperatures, and similar applications. It is limited because the temperature represents a single point on the machine or structure. However, when used with vibration data, point-of-use infrared data can be a valuable tool. Thus, it will surely enhance the market growth.
Global Digital Infrared Thermometer Market Dynamics
Drivers
- Increasing Incidence of COVID-19 Cases
The number of cases of COVID-19 reinfection has been reported to be high. Infrared thermometers can infer body temperature by measuring thermal radiation (infrared) emitted from the ear and forehead. A new ear-probe jacket should be used for each person when using in-ear thermometers, and the ear canal must be pulled straight for measuring. Instead of being utilized for diagnosis, forehead thermometers are used for screening. As a result, there has been a considerable increase in the use of infrared thermometers in home and commercial end applications in most public locations. The use of infrared thermometers in residential and public locations, such as airports, stadiums, malls, and banking and financial organizations, is likely to increase significantly as the number of COVID-19 cases rises.
- Convenience
Digital infrared thermometers monitor the temperature without coming into contact with a person's skin, significantly reducing the possibility of cross-contamination. While most digital thermometers require contact with the body to detect temperature, infrared thermometers can do so with equivalent precision from a distance, which is why they are preferred over conventional digital thermometers.
Opportunities
- Scope for next-generation thermometers
During the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was thought that the virus might be eradicated by raising the temperature during the summer. This was not the case, and there has been a considerable increase in COVID-19 patients, mainly in the United States, India, Russia, and Brazil. Apart from the "temperature rise" technique, Sweden's and the United Kingdom's "herd immunity" strategies have also failed. National control methods have shown to be efficient in nations such as China, Taiwan, and South Korea, with temperature screening playing a key role. As a result, in nations such as the United States, the second wave of epidemic prevention and control is set to begin, resulting in increased demand for second-generation forehead thermometers.
- Adoption of thermometers for industrial use
The efficiency, accuracy, and longevity of infrared thermometers have been essential factors in their popularity for industrial use. Various vendors in the market are focusing on providing solutions tailored to specific sectors; for example, Testo offers its Testo 104-IR Infrared & Probe Thermometer as part of their food safety thermometer to track food in transit throughout the supply chain.
Restraints/Challenges
- Restriction of digital infrared thermometer in crowd screening
As the lockdown regulations were lifted and numerous public locations reopened, non-touch temperature evaluation gadgets are getting used as a part of a preliminary look at access factors to discover those who might also have increased temperatures. Increased temperature is one way to discover someone who might also have a COVID-19 infection. Thermal scanning structures can speedy display screens for excessive-temperature fever resulting from pneumonia and influenza in crowded regions. These structures offer excessive-pace touchy measurements for pretty populated pedestrian transit regions. A few of the essential capabilities of those structures encompass massive region detection, non-touch fast screening of frame temperature, speedy response, shrewd alarms, and excessive-temperature measuring accuracy. Since regions consisting of airports, banks, retail, and academic institutes have an excessive footfall, it might be nearly tough to display every person the use of infrared thermometers
- Accuracy Issues
To control the spread of COVID-19, the first-generation forehead thermometer guns were released in a rush. They were not designed to withstand harsh temperatures and humidity. As a result, when they were shipped mainly from China to all corners of the globe, several issues arose, including instability and measurement accuracy issues. Some Chinese OEMs produce low-cost infrared thermometers to suit global demand for low-cost I.R. thermometers, but they lack precision and quality of the thermopile sensor, ADC accuracy, and temperature adjustment algorithm. Due to their inconsistent performance in harsh temperatures and high humidity settings, these thermometers were returned by abroad clients, primarily from Russia and Europe. Their sensor sensitivity was insufficient, resulting in inaccuracy.
