Infrared Array Sensor Market Report: the market size is projected to reach USD 1.15 billion by 2031
An Infrared Array Sensor is a type of thermal sensor that consists of multiple infrared-sensitive elements arranged in a grid or matrix format. It detects infrared radiation (heat) emitted by objects in its field of view and converts it into electrical signals to form a two-dimensional temperature map. These sensors are commonly used for non-contact temperature measurement, thermal imaging, motion detection, and presence sensing in applications such as smart home devices, industrial automation, automotive systems, and healthcare monitoring.
According to the new market research report “Infrared Array Sensor - Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2025-2031”, published by QYResearch, the global Infrared Array Sensor market size is projected to reach USD 1.15 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period.
