The global non contact infrared thermometers market accounted for US $ 248 Mn in 2020 and is expected to reach US $ 479 Mn by 2028 with a considerable CAGR of 7.9% during the projected period of 2021 to 2028

Thermometers are one of the vital devices used by healthcare professionals, families, and caretakers to assess the child or patient during acute diseases and illnesses. Digital contact thermometers, chemical thermometers, and infrared thermometers are used to measure it. However, there are two types of infrared thermometers: contact infrared thermometers and non contact infrared thermometers.

NCITs (non contact infrared thermometers) are used to quickly and non-invasively detect temperature, presumably causing less stress to children than older methods. NCITs could provide temperature readings in seconds, similar to infrared tympanic thermometers. Although most NCITs monitor body temperature over the central forehead area, if the child's forehead is moist or moving, temperature over other body areas may be observed. A child's temperature can also be taken by NCITs while they are resting. Because NCITs do not come into contact with the body's surface, there is no chance of cross-infection, and no disinfection or disposable probe coverings are necessary.

Drivers

Non Contact Infrared Thermometers Market Dynamics

Non contact infrared temperature evaluation devices will be used as part of an initial check at public entrance points to identify and triage people who may have higher temperatures as states and localities implement restarting plans during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, one of the most common clinical signs of coronavirus (COVID-19) is fever, and non contact infrared thermometers devices are primarily used to screen for fever. Even when the devices are used correctly, temperature assessment may have a limited effect on reducing the expansion of COVID-19 infections.

The growing numbers of COVID-19 patients, as well as the increased adoption of non contact infrared thermometers in the manufacturing industry and construction applications, are the key factors that drive the market's growth. In the coming years, the global non contact infrared thermometer market is likely to experience enormous growth due to rising demand and sales of multifunction thermometers. In addition, due to a scarcity of non contact thermometers or temperature guns on the market, the devices that exist have become prohibitively expensive, forcing customers to revert to traditional thermometers. As a result, the market's expansion is projected to be stifled by the elevated price of non contact infrared thermometers.

Market Segmentation

Market By Product Type

• Handheld
• Fixed-Mount

Based on the product type, the handheld type segment occupied the major market share of the non contact infrared thermometer in 2020. Furthermore, handheld devices are compact, simple, and easily accessible to use. Handheld are small and lightweight, and they can be used to monitor the temperature of any moving body. As a result of the benefits provided by handheld devices, the segment is driving the market. Furthermore, during the predicted years, the fixed-mount type size is expected to grow significantly. These thermometers use the non contact fixed surface to measure the temperature in a process application. Moreover, this type of infrared thermometer is permanently installed in fixed places. While there are many different styles available with common description and functionality including proximity ratio, emissivity, and spectral range.

Market By Application

• Non-Medical
• Medical

Based on the application, the non-medical segment is expected to account for the largest share of the non contact infrared thermometer market over the forecasting years. The growing usage of non contact infrared thermometers in industrial, processing facilities, shopping areas, and other non-medical sections is attributed to the growth of the non-medical segment. Furthermore, rising demands in public places, as well as the reopening of public areas such as theatres, malls, and other public places, are also driving the non-medical application.

Market By Distribution Channel

• Hospital Pharmacy
• Online Sales
• Retail Pharmacy

In terms of distribution channels, hospital pharmacies had the largest market share in 2020. Hospital pharmacies can provide a huge number of contact and non contact infrared thermometers based on hospital needs, which are expected to grow in the future. The rising demand for non contact infrared thermometers as a result of COVID 19 cases is a major factor driving the market's expansion in the hospital pharmacies segment. Furthermore, with the rise of technological advancement and digital business, growing e-commerce demands as well as increasing penetration of smartphones, the online stores segment is expected to grow in the coming years. However, the rising popularity of online shopping may boost the market over the forecast period.
