The near infrared imaging market accounted for $271 million in 2018, and is expected to reach $375 million by 2026, registering a CAGR of 4.1% from 2019 to 2026. 
Near infrared (NIR) is a sub-division of the infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum having wavelength ranging from 0.7 to 1.4 microns, which is very close to human vision. NIR imaging technique involves the use of near infrared light to obtain images of tissues. These systems rely on fluorescent dye, which is administered to obtain fluorophore emission.

These emissions are captured by an imaging system and camera. This further produces real time images of the tissues. It is advantageous over other techniques since it provides better resolution and is less harmless to patients. NIR Imaging can be helpful in diagnosing breast cancer, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and schizophrenia. Near infrared imaging is used as a replacement for far infrared and thermal vision.

It is advantageous over thermal vision since thermal vision can only absorb heat and does not product clear images.

Rise in number of surgical procedures worldwide for cancer surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, and cardiovascular surgery, plastic/reconstructive surgeries coupled with surge in prevalence of target diseases such as lung cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and prostate cancer; increasing prevalence of chronic diseases and neurological disorders, are responsible for driving the growth of near infrared imaging market. In addition, surge in adoption of NIR imaging across the globe, rise in geriatric population and health awareness in the emerging economies are the prime growth factor for the growth of global near infrared imaging market. However, high availability of other alternative imaging techniques and high price of infrared detectors may restrict the global near infrared imaging market.
