The Consumer Market: A Unique Opportunity for the IR Imaging Players to Increase Their Sales?

The 2016 Mobile World Congress was undoubtedly the place to discover the consumer electronics industry and its latest innovations. Among the numerous product releases and announcements that took place from February 22 to 25 in Barcelona, the innovative smartphone, released the week before by Bullitt Group, global mobile device licensee for Caterpillar, was perhaps one of the most interesting. Indeed, Bullitt Group introduced the first smartphone, 'Cat® S60', with an embedded FLIR One thermal camera. This announcement reveals to be a unique business opportunity for the IR imaging players, to develop new products for consumer applications and increase their sales. According to the "More than Moore" market research and the strategy consulting company Yole Developpement (Yole), sales from consumer and DIY applications of IR imagers reached US$ 20 million in 2015. Yole is expecting +26% CAGR over the years from 2015-2020 p. (Source: Uncooled Infrared Imaging Technology & Market Trends report, Yole Developpement, June 2015).
