The InGaAs camera market size is projected to reach US$ 223.81 million by 2031 from US$ 122.03 million in 2023. The market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.9 % during 2023–2031. The adoption of InGaAs cameras in industrial automation is likely to remain a key trend in the market.
The InGaAs camera market growth is attributed to the increased use of these cameras in various applications, such as industrial automation and medical diagnosis. A SWIR camera can prevent this and thus ensure a smooth production process. Therefore, increasing the use of InGaAs cameras in various applications is driving the InGaAs camera market. SWIR imaging techniques, such as SWIR hyperspectral imaging for biomedical applications and a wideband (VIS+SWIR) digital holographic microscopic system based on a novel quantum-dot (QD) image sensor, are also discussed. Thus, increasing the use of InGaAs cameras in various applications is driving the market.
InGaAs sensors are used for relevance in physical and life science and require high sensitivity over the 900-1700 nm wavelength range, known as shortwave infrared (SWIR). Some InGaAs sensors can measure up to 2500 nm due to the changes in material composition. Although silicon-based CCD cameras possess sensitivity over the UV-to-NIR range, the bandgap properties of silicon prevent these CCDs from having sufficient sensitivity over 1100 nm. InGaAs cameras have a lower bandgap, making this material the preferred material for applications in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) region.
Inspecting silicon crystals and ingots (also known as bricks) is one of the most popular applications for InGaAs cameras in the semiconductor sector. The ability to see in silicon at a wavelength range above 1,150 nm provides InGaAs cameras a suitable solution for detection inclusions, such as impurities within a crystal or ingot, which can gather during the production process. The impurities are critical when observing the ingots into thin wafers with a diamond chain. If the chain strikes an element, such as a small piece of metal, the exceptionally expensive chain can break. Not only does replacing a chain generate a cost, but it also leads to lower productivity and reduced profits. A SWIR camera can prevent this and thus ensure a smooth production process. Therefore, increasing the use of InGaAs cameras in various applications is driving the InGaAs camera market.
SWIR imaging is used in medical diagnosis. The developing techniques based on SWIR light, including the fabrication and use of SWIR nanoparticles as photothermal agents and luminescent nanothermometers, and recent advances in the structure, design, and SWIR-related biomedical applications of rare-earth doped nanoparticles (REDNs). REDNs are among the most highly luminous and biocompatible SWIR emitters. SWIR imaging techniques, such as SWIR hyperspectral imaging for biomedical applications and a wideband (VIS+SWIR) digital holographic microscopic system based on a novel quantum-dot (QD) image sensor, are also discussed. Thus, increasing the use of InGaAs cameras in various applications is driving the market.
