Terahertz Technology Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030

The global terahertz technology market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 14.55% to reach US$2.37 billion by 2030, from US$1.20 billion in 2025.

The market growth is attributed to the growing demand for efficient solutions to manage security systems across various industries, rising investments in research and development by the defense and security sectors of different countries, and increasing demand for security screening equipment in public places. Moreover, the increasing adoption of this technology in the pharmaceutical sector is expected to further drive market growth during the forecast period. This technology is utilized in the pharmaceutical sector to assess coating integrity, identify chemical and physical properties, and detect impurities. Furthermore, the growing demand for compact and energy-efficient transceivers, the increasing penetration of terahertz (THz) technology in the medical science and biology fields, and the rising applications of these high-end devices in research laboratories and monitoring processes will significantly contribute to the overall market growth.

Growing Demand for Terahertz Technology in Defense Applications

The defense sector's increasing need for terahertz technology is a key driver of market growth. Terahertz technology addresses critical security challenges, such as detecting concealed explosives and hidden weapons, which are difficult to identify with conventional methods. Governments globally are prioritizing advanced detection systems, boosting demand for terahertz technology in defense and security applications. Terahertz sensors are employed in military operations for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), locating isolated personnel behind enemy lines, and guiding precision weapons. In non-combat scenarios, the technology excels at detecting plastic or low-metal landmines using THz spectroscopic imaging, which identifies hidden materials with high accuracy. This imaging capability also enhances air surveillance radar systems, with applications like China North Industries Group Corporation's testing of THz instruments to detect stealth aircraft.

Rising Adoption of Terahertz Technology Across Diverse Industries

Terahertz technology is experiencing growing demand across industries such as telecommunications, healthcare, and industrial testing. In telecommunications, it enables high-speed data transfer between devices and supports the development of next-generation ultra-fast wireless systems, including WLAN and WPAN. In healthcare, terahertz imaging is used to analyze superficial body structures like skin, blood vessels, joints, and muscles, aiding in cancer detection and diagnosing dermatological conditions.
