- Short-wave infrared (SWIR) refers to electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths ranging from approximately 1 to 3 micrometres
- SWIR imaging technology captures light beyond the visible spectrum, enabling applications such as night vision, material analysis, and moisture detection. It offers advantages in penetrating certain materials and atmospheric conditions compared to visible or thermal imaging
- North America dominates the SWIR market with the largest revenue share of 38.5% in 2025, characterized by high adoption rate of advanced imaging technologies in sectors such as military and defense, industrial automation, and scientific research
- Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the SWIR market during the forecast period due to increasing industrial automation across various sectors,
- Area Scan segment is expected to dominate the SWIR market with a market share in 2025, driven by its ability to capture a two-dimensional image in a single acquisition makes them versatile for a wide range of applications, including machine vision, surveillance, and various inspection tasks
