INFRARED RADIATION (IR) EMITTER AND RECEIVER MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global Infrared Radiation (IR) Emitter And Receiver Market size was USD 3.1 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 4.23 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 3.5% during forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The global infrared radiation (IR) emitter and receiver is also known as, infrared sensor. It is a device or electronic hardware that operate in infrared range of light. They are light emitting diodes that emit light in infrared spectrum. On the other hand, infrared receivers are devices that receive light from IR emitters and decode IR signals. Together they form a complete infrared sensor that is used in various applications. For instance, they are used in consumer electronics for remote controlling, in unmanned vehicles to sense obstacles and in military and aerospace for monitoring and measurement systems which are driving the market.

The global infrared radiation (IR) emitter and receiver market progression can be credited to the upsurge in the demand due to rising usage in remote controls and different types of devices such as DVD players and televisions. Hence, increasing production and sales of these consumer applications will elevate infrared emitter & receiver demand. Growing popularity of infrared imaging technologies across the world will fuel this market sales.
