Temperature Detection Screen Market Expected to Reach $1.5 Billion by 2031—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Temperature Detection Screen Market," The temperature detection screen market was valued at $538.80 million in 2021, and is estimated to reach $1.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2022 to 2031.

Temperature detection screens are equipment which use telethermography, or “long distance heat imaging” process for measuring skin temperature. Majority of these equipment work best at a distance of a few feet. Temperature detection screens are typically available as handheld non-contact infrared thermometer (NCIT) or smart thermal imaging systems. While the former are less expensive, they require manual operation and staff has to be assigned and trained for the purpose. On the contrary, the smart thermal imaging systems can be mounted on walls or entry points and even integrated with access control systems. However, unlike other systems, they do not detect temperature at only one point on a person. Instead, they check temperature over a person’s entire face and head. These features resulting in temperature detection screen market growth.

According to temperature detection screen market analysis the market is primarily driven by the growing use of non-contact infrared thermometer in the healthcare industry and various other industries. The use of temperature detection screens is driven by their accuracy, durability and efficiency. Various temperature detection screen market vendors are focused on providing industry-specific solutions. For instance, in May 2020, Global Care Capital Corp's portfolio company ViraxClear in a joint venture with Shanghai Biotechnology Devices Ltd finalized a Letter Of Intent (LOI) with Phyto Pharma Ltd for the supply of 5,000 FDA Registered and CE marked infrared thermometer units for sale in North Africa. Furthermore, increasing operations by the emerging and small-sized players and rapid technological advancements in clinical thermometers are also contributing to the temperature detection screen market trends. For instance, in January 2021, Microlife Corporation, announced that the Microlife non-contact thermometer NC 150 is recognized as high overall performance in the Mexican market analysis conducted by “Revista del Consumidor” in January 2021 Edition. In addition, the company said the NC 150 is the only thermometer that presents the complete information required by the reference standard and the information of the importer. Meanwhile, the temperature detection screen market is expected to be restrained by lack of awareness and lack of disposable income in emerging countries across various regions. However, market players will find opportunities during the forecast period in the adoption of digital infrastructure by various industries, backed by technological developments which will impact the temperature detection screen market size in a positive way. 

In terms of market segmentation by platform, the temperature detection screen market was dominated by the handheld/portable segment in 2021, whereas the smart/fixed position segment is expected to witness a higher growth rate during the forecast period. The less expensive nature of the handheld temperature detection screens is their major advantage. In terms of market segmentation by technology, the temperature detection screen market was dominated by the non-contact infrared technology segment, whereas the thermal imaging systems segment is expected to witness a higher growth rate during the forecast period. Its ease of use and non-contact nature of operation is the primary driving factor for NCIT temperature detection screens. In terms of application, the market was dominated by the living beings segment in 2021, whereas the equipment/machines segment is expected to witness a higher growth rate during the forecast period. The high number of human beings and animals are primary reason for this segment’s high share in the market. In terms of industry vertical, the healthcare and life sciences segment dominated the market in 2021, whereas the oil and gas segment is expected to expand at a faster rate during the forecast period. The large number of units required in the healthcare segment is the primary reason for its dominance in the market. In terms of region, the temperature detection screen market was dominated by Asia-Pacific in 2021, which is also expected to be the fastest expanding region during the forecast period. A major advantage which can be attributed to Asia-Pacific region is its increasing number of hospitals and clinics, increase in the number of people having access to medical care, and replacement of antiquated mercury thermometers.
