IR Windows Market Report

The global infrared (IR) windows market is predicted to achieve growth with increasing need for electrical system maintenance and growing number of infrared electrical system surveys. IR windows are frequently used in infrared inspections and infrared thermography for control cabinets, high and medium circuit breakers, high and medium voltage switchgear cabinets, distribution panels, dry-type transformers, and motor control centers.

Collaboration could be a powerful strategy that players could adopt to increase their presence in the global IR windows market. Early in 2019, Edmund Optics, a US producer of optics, imaging, and photonics technology, collaborated with II-VI Incorporated to allow easier purchase of optical components for infrared applications throughout the production, prototyping, and design project cycles. The collaboration is said to make IR optics more accessible for end users.

Important Points to Remember

●  Use of infrared thermography for inspecting live electrical equipment to increase demand for IR windows

●  Companies to make strategic investments to expand their business and gain growth in the global IR windows market

●  IR windows with polymer material to become more popular than those with crystal material

●  North America has strong presence of leading players in the global IR windows market

Need to Conduct Infrared Inspections with Reduced Safety Risks to Augment Demand

High use of infrared thermography as an effective technique to inspect live electrical equipment is anticipated to set the tone for strong growth of the global IR windows market. IR windows are extensively used in infrared electrical system survey programs. One of the advantages of using IR windows is that infrared inspections can be performed without the need to remove or open switchgear panel covers or electrical component covers. This helps professionals conducting infrared thermography or infrared electrical system surveys to improve safety and save related costs and time.

Players to Enter into Partnerships and Strategically Invest to Explore New Opportunities

Top players competing in the global IR windows market are Fluke Corporation, Exiscan, FLIR Systems, Square D (Schneider Electric), IRISS, CorDEX Instruments, and Grace Engineered Products. Companies are expected to make strategic investments and form new partnerships to cement a strong position in the global IR windows market. In April 2019, FLIR Systems, a US producer of thermal imaging cameras, components, and imaging sensors, completed its investment in DroneBase to become an exclusive provider of thermal technology for DroneBase’s inspection services. With this investment, FLIR has also become a training partner for DroneBase’s enterprise pilot network.

By Type

● Crystal Material

●  Polymer Material

By Application

●  Industrial Use

●  Laboratory Use

●  Others

IR windows manufactured using crystal material could be more expensive than those containing polymer material. According to market experts, products with polymer material are expected to gain more popularity than those with crystal material in the global IR windows market. Having said that, IR windows with crystal material could withstand harsh environments and are recommended for tasks dealing with high ambient temperatures. On the other hand, polymer material is resistant to impact and ideal for industrial environments. Furthermore, it has consistent and stable transmissivity and is compatible with almost all IR imagers. On the basis of application, the global IR windows market is segmented into laboratory use, industrial use, and others.
