Non Contact Infrared Thermometers Global Market Report 2024

The non contact infrared thermometers market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $0.33 billion in 2023 to $0.36 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.1%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the influence of the COVID-19, the growth of emerging markets, a heightened prevalence of infectious diseases, increased incidences of diseases among animals, a surge in healthcare expenditure, and a rise in the geriatric population.

The non contact infrared thermometers market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $0.51 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the increasing prevalence of online pharmacies, the expansion of e-commerce, and the growing affordability of non-contact infrared thermometers due to technological advances. Key trends in this period involve prioritizing the integration of Bluetooth functionality to enhance the understanding of the location of clustered cases with elevated temperatures, collaborating with government entities to rapidly scale up production and expand the customer base, and listing products on online channels to boost sales and revenues.

The surge in demand for non-contact infrared thermometers, primarily due to the increasing number of COVID-19 cases, stands as a pivotal factor propelling market growth. With COVID-19 infections on the rise and fever being a prominent symptom, the need for temperature testing in large gatherings has become imperative. Infrared thermometers emerge as efficient devices for the accurate and frequent measurement of body temperature. They operate by monitoring temperature through the forehead from a distance, providing quick and precise results. Consequently, the demand for infrared thermometers continues to escalate, driven by their rapid calculation and high precision features.

The expected increase in healthcare expenditure is poised to be a significant driver for the expansion of the non-contact infrared thermometer market in the future. Healthcare expenditure, reflecting the total spending on healthcare-related goods and services within a given healthcare system or economy, plays a crucial role in facilitating the development and accessibility of non-contact infrared thermometers. As an illustration, data from November 2022, as reported by the Canadian Institute for Health Information, a US-based not-for-profit organization, indicates a rise in healthcare expenditure to 0.8%, totaling $331 billion in 2022 compared to 7.6% in 2021. Consequently, the upward trajectory in healthcare expenditure is fostering the growth of the non-contact infrared thermometer market.


The incorporation of Bluetooth technology in the non-contact infrared thermometers market emerges as a significant trend. With door-to-door testing campaigns becoming less practical amid the rising number of COVID-19 cases, smart thermometers offer a viable solution. When activated, these thermometers connect to smartphones via Bluetooth, and the user's location is displayed on the corresponding app. Similar to traditional thermometers, users can assess their temperature, and if a fever is detected, the information along with the location is transmitted to a server. For instance, the Digi-Sense D/S IR Therm app enables the infrared thermometer to connect to Bluetooth technology, sending information to smartphones or iOS devices. Results are automatically stored in the app with a date-and-time signature, and they can be exported in CSV format and emailed for future reference.

Key players in the non-contact infrared thermometers market are introducing innovative products, such as a technology range of infrared thermometers, to boost market revenues. The latest technology range utilizes a high-precision infrared sensor for non-touch measurements, ensuring hygiene. In January 2021, Fitgo, a China-based company manufacturing infrared thermometers, launched an advanced range of infrared thermometers. Notable features include precise temperature results in just one second, suitability for infants, adults, elders, objects, or even room temperature. These thermometers come in six different types with advanced features such as Quick 1-Second Temperature, Memory Recalls, Fever Alarm, Three Modes Compatibility, and a Big Backlit Display with a maximum level of convenience.
