Infrared (IR) Sensor Industry Overview
The infrared sensor market is fragmented and highly competitive. To sustain intense competition, regional companies adopt high-cost research and development, partnerships, collaborations, and acquisitions as their prime growth strategies. Key players in the market are Murata Manufacturing Co. Ltd, STMicroelectronics NV, Excelitas Technologies, Teledyne Imaging Inc., Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, and many more.
- April 2024: InfraTec GmbH proudly announced the completion of its new extension building, a project realized in a swift two and a half years. With the new structure now operational, the company has turned its attention to renovating the existing facility. The enhancements boast a vast 2,700 m² area dedicated to the production and development of cutting-edge thermography cameras and infrared detectors.
- November 2023: Hydrosat and Muon Space entered into a strategic partnership, culminating in a contract for Hydrosat's debut Constellation-as-a-Service (CaaS) spacecraft. Anticipated to be equipped with Hydrosat's state-of-the-art multispectral and thermal infrared (IR) imaging instruments, this collaboration significantly advances Hydrosat's vision of deploying a constellation of small satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). These satellites aim to provide crucial data, enhancing water use efficiency in agriculture, a pressing need given the rising freshwater scarcity exacerbated by climate change.
