description
First smartphones, and new low-cost cores widen commercial markets and pave the way for consumer applications EXISTING COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS AND NEW CONSUMER APPLICATIONS WILL DRIVE MARKET GROWTH After its first significant downturn in 2012, the Uncooled Thermal Camera market continued to decline in 2013 (-5%), plumbed by the ever shrinking military market (-15% revenues in 2013) which is the historical and most profitable business for uncooled infrared. Nevertheless, 2013 overall sales in total shipments have surged again (+15%) because of the dynamic commercial market where sales have grown by +24%. For the next several years, thermal camera shipments will continue to grow rapidly, at +25% CAGR in volume between 2014 and 2019 to reach more than 1.4 M. Shipments will be driven by the existing commercial markets which are expanding quickly: Thermography: the market will be driven by ultra-low-end cameras with very attractive pricing (below $1000) that widen the audience of thermal technology. Leaders FLIR and Fluke have added many new models in 2013-2014 and will continue to lead the price war due to their vertical business model. Automotive: Autoliv, the market leader, will continue to introduce its Night vision 3rd generation on new car models. New EuroNCAP tests could boost the market by promoting, in 2018, night time pedestrian collision mitigation solutions potentially using a thermal solution, but only if the cost is sufficiently low. Surveillance: new visible CCTV players have entered the market recently (Panasonic, Mobotix) and will participate in thermal technology democratization. Price erosion will continue (-12%/year) and will enlarge the scope of commercial applications like traffic, parking, and power stations. Those 3 markets are analyzed in detail in the report (more than 20 slides/application). Consumer applications have moved to a new phase of growth in 2013-2014 and will be the high growth applications over the next few years, especially in terms of shipments (+61% CAGR): Personal Vision Systems (goggles, sight for security, hunting, outdoor observation): first successfully pioneered by FLIR and will continue to grow due to many new entrants arriving from the outdoor visible business. Smartphones: First smartphone modules (FLIR One, Opgal Android) have been introduced at the ground breaking price of $349 by FLIR in 2014. A high number of pre-release reservations for the FLIR One (> 30k units) already proves the commercial success of this smartphone platform. An additional scenario (see illustration) envisions an aggressive rapid ramp up of the smartphone application based on a huge price erosion and the integration of the IR core inside the phone. Indeed, smartphone business is an almost 1 B units market in 2013, and any new sensor adopted induces high volumes produced...

Definitions
• An infrared thermal camera is a thermal system which converts infrared (IR)
radiation into a visible image.
• An IR camera’s main parts are:
Camera Camera core (with
electronics and
sometimes IR lenses)
Imager/sensor(Uncooled Focal
Plane Array - UFPA)
Pixel (Each sensor is an
array of thousands of
pixels)
• Cores are modules that include imagers + electronics, and sometimes lenses.
Without lenses, it’s also called a “video engine”.
• Imagers are also called UFPA (Uncooled Focal Plane Arrays) or IR sensors.
Detectors provide only a detection signal (no image) and are covered in Yole’s 2013
report on the IR detector market and technology trends.
• An imager can have various formats (1024 x 768 to 16 x 16) and pixel pitch (usually
from 17µ - 40µ in 2013).

Market Research Scope and Methodology (1/2)
• Market research scope:– This report surveys the Long Wave Infrared (called LWIR or FIR)
uncooled imaging camera and imager markets for both commercial
and military businesses.
– An overview of Near Infrared (NIR), Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) and
Medium Wave Infrared (MWIR) technologies is also presented here.
– Market forecasts are furnished for the 2014 – 2019 period in
shipments (units) and in revenue ($M).
– For an in-depth analysis of IR detector applications & technologies
(from 1 – 100 x 100 pixels), see Yole’s “Infrared Detector Market 2013
Report”.
• Methodology:– Our research is based on:
• Primary information sources: direct interviews with companies across the value
chain (imager manufacturers, camera manufacturers, camera distributors and end-
users).
• Secondary information sources: conferences, web sites, newsletters, etc.
– All data, graphs, tables and calculations in this report are based on
Yole Développement’s investigation.
