The market outlook report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the ongoing market trends, opportunities/high growth areas, and market drivers which would help the stakeholders to devise and align their market strategies according to the current and future market dynamics.
Infrared imaging is an innovative technology that has been rapidly growing in Kenya. The demand has been continuously growing due to its various applications in medical diagnosis, industrial inspections and security and surveillance. The growth of this market growth is influenced by several factors such as the growing use of infrared imaging across various fields like medical diagnosis, automotive, and aerospace & defence.
According to 6Wresearch, the Kenya Infrared Imaging Market size is expected to grow at a CAGR of 12.9% during the forecast period 2025-2031. The medical and healthcare industries are the major demand drivers of infrared imaging in the country. It is widely used to detect and diagnose several medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart diseases. Moreover, the growing infrared cameras demand in industrial inspections and the automotive industry for predictive maintenance activities is bolstering the Kenya Infrared Imaging Market growth. Despite the growth potential, the market faces several challenges that impede its growth. One such is the shortage of skilled workforce. While the infrared imaging demand is increasing, there is a lack of trained professionals who can operate the technology effectively. However, some trends are shaping the market growth such as the increasing demand for infrared cameras for security and surveillance due to it being used for perimeter security and crowd surveillance widely. Moreover, the use of infrared cameras for predictive maintenance activities is another growing trend in the industry.
The country’s government has been securing the growth of the infrared imaging market in Kenya. The government introduced the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI) Infrared Imaging Laboratory to support the development of infrared technology in Kenya. Additionally, the Kenya National Innovation Agency (KeNIA) has been investing in research and development activities for infrared technology.
The Kenya infrared imaging market is highly competitive with the presence of several significant players competing in the market. Some of the players in the market include FLIR Systems, Inc., Symbiotic Devices, Eaton, Optris, and Excelitas Technologies, among others.
According to Dhaval, Research Manager, 6Wresearch, it is difficult to declare which is growing as the choice between cooled and uncooled infrared imaging depends on the requirements in terms of accuracy and budget. Cooled infrared imaging provides high accuracy and resolution in detection. While uncooled infrared imaging is less expensive and requires minimal maintenance.
Based on the wavelength, the shortwave infrared band is witnessing the most significant growth underpinned by its use in industrial inspections and gas detection. As new industries continue to expand and the demand for safety and security increases, which will increase the demand for infrared imaging technology in the country
