Application of infrared thermal imaging technology in civil field

Nowadays, infrared thermal imaging cameras have begun to enter the civilian market, and have been widely used in electric power, HVAC, construction, security, industrial manufacturing, medical care and other fields, and even gradually extended to animal husbandry, environmental monitoring, smart driving, smart home, etc. Brand new scene. There are more and more infrared brands focusing on civilian thermal imaging cameras in the market, bringing a wealth of high-quality products with high cost performance, which provide great convenience for people's life.

Next, let's look at the application of thermal imagers in emerging markets and related data.

1. Outdoor field

In 2023, the number of people participating in outdoor sports across the country will exceed 400 million, and the sports with the highest incidence of accidents are mountaineering and camping, respectively. With the improvement of people's awareness of outdoor safety, the outdoor crowd's demand for infrared equipment is also gradually increasing, and the outdoor market is currently one of the main demands.

Infrared thermal imaging cameras can not only help outdoor enthusiasts detect and avoid wild animals, improve the safety of outdoor play, respond to emergency situations such as lost search and rescue, but also increase the fun of outdoor novelty experiences, such as live broadcasting outdoors with thermal imaging.

2. Smart home

In 2023, the scale of my country's smart home market will exceed 650 billion yuan. Infrared thermal imaging cameras are very likely to be used in smart homes, and the current market penetration rate is low, and it is expected to achieve large-scale implantation applications.

For example, smart air conditioners, infrared thermal imaging can help air conditioners achieve "smart air supply" and "smart temperature control". On the one hand, through the infrared sensing function, it can accurately sense the temperature and position of the human body, and adjust the temperature, air supply angle and specific air supply direction in real time. On the other hand, it can intelligently adjust the temperature of the air conditioner through the perception of ambient temperature.

3. Intelligent driving

In 2025, the domestic smart driving market will reach 4.1 billion. The vehicle-mounted infrared thermal imaging system, which can recognize and sense pedestrians and drive at night without fear of glare, can complement advantages with ultrasonic radar, lidar, and vehicle-mounted cameras. It is one of the ideal choices for improving the safety awareness of autonomous driving hybrid sensing system solutions.

4. Family temperature measurement

In 2026, traditional household mercury thermometers will be completely withdrawn from the market. The market of 60 million mercury thermometers will be replaced by electronic thermometers and infrared thermometers.

5. Elderly care and health 

Around 2030, China's elderly population over the age of 60 will exceed 400 million. The demand for self-service home infrared health monitoring equipment will usher in consumption growth in the elderly care industry.

6. Other fields

In addition to the above, infrared thermal imaging consumer-grade products also have room to display their strengths in different fields such as emerging occupations, smart education, smart pet raising, agriculture and animal husbandry, and sports.
