Advances in sensor technology have led to the development of higher megapixel sensors, improving the resolution of these imagers. This results in stronger and more detailed images, critical for medical diagnostics, industrial inspections, and security surveillance applications. The integration of hyperspectral imaging allows handheld imagers to capture and analyze a wide range of wavelengths. In dermatology, they are used for skin examinations, mole mapping, and wound assessments. In ophthalmology, these devices aid in eye examinations and diagnostics. They are widely used for security screening in airports, public events, and critical infrastructure. Integration of imaging capabilities into smartphones and wearables has expanded the consumer market for them. Consumers use these devices for photography, augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) experiences. Thus, the diverse range of applications across industries demonstrates the adaptability and utility of market.

However, the absence of standardized protocols means that different imagers may use proprietary communication protocols, data formats, or interfaces. This lack of compatibility can hinder the integration of these devices with other systems and technologies, limiting their overall utility. They generate valuable data, and interoperability issues can hinder sharing of this data across platforms or between different devices. This lack of integration can result in increased costs and complexities for end-users. Proprietary standards or closed ecosystems may lead to vendor lock-in, where users become dependent on a specific manufacturer's products and services. This limits flexibility and choice for end-users, potentially hindering their ability to adapt to evolving needs or emerging technologies. Lack of interoperability often necessitates customized solutions for specific applications, leading to complex system implementations. This complexity may require additional deployment, configuration, and ongoing maintenance resources. Due to the factors mentioned above, a decline in market growth is expected.

Application Outlook

On the basis of application, the market is segmented into security, industrial, construction, medical, and others. The industrial segment projected a prominent growth rate in the market in 2022. Industries that rely on steam systems, such as power plants or chemical processing facilities, use these imagers to monitor and inspect steam lines and components. These imagers contribute to quality control processes in manufacturing by allowing operators to inspect products for defects, irregularities, or malfunctions. The devices aid in identifying issues with product components, ensuring that manufactured goods meet stringent quality standards before reaching the market.
