“Miniaturization and Cost Reduction of SWIR Sensors”
- A significant trend in the global SWIR market, as of May 2025, is the ongoing miniaturization and cost reduction of SWIR sensors
- This trend is making SWIR technology more accessible and integrable into a wider range of applications Previously, SWIR cameras and sensors were often bulky and expensive, limiting their adoption to specialized fields
- However, advancements in semiconductor technology and manufacturing processes are leading to smaller, lighter, and more affordable SWIR components
- For instance, we are seeing the integration of smaller SWIR sensors into handheld devices for industrial inspection and even potential future integration into advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in vehicles
- This increased accessibility is expanding the potential use cases and driving higher volumes, further contributing to cost reductions, creating a positive feedback loop for market growth
