NEW YORK, Aug. 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The South American
Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) market is estimated to register a CAGR
of 8.5% during the forecast period. Earlier, SWIR detectors were
mainly produced for military and defense markets; however, this
technology is now used in various commercial applications as well,
such as temperature measurement, fire & gas detection,
biomedical imaging, spectroscopy, semiconductor/ wafer inspection,
and motion detection.
Based on the material by which they are formed, the SWIR market is
segmented into indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), mercury cadmium
telluride, lead sulfide, and indium antimonide. All these materials
can operate in the spectral range of SWIR (0.9 µm to 3 µm) with
great efficiency. Mercury cadmium telluride is a direct bandgap
semiconductor, which is used for the production of low cost and
large area IR FPAs. Indium antimonide is a narrow band-gap
semiconductor material, which is utilized as a part of infrared
detectors, including warm imaging cameras, as they can detect the
presence of IR radiation by its photoconductive properties. Lead
sulfide is one of the most established and readily available
component materials in various infrared sensors, which is utilized
to measure radiation. The high dielectric constant of lead sulfide
makes it a less reliable sensor compared to other emerging
technologies.
The South American SWIR market was dominated by Brazil, which accounted for the highest market
share, followed by Argentina. The
South American SWIR market is steadily progressing due to a
continuous reduction in the price of SWIR detectors and an
increasinge in the usage of these detectors in fast-growing
applications, such as medical imaging and vision enhancement. SWIR
is one of the largest segments utilized in the sSemiconductor
industry, accounteding for the largest share of 41% of the SA SWIR
market among all application industriesmarket share.
The South American SWIR market is competitive. Various companies,
such as DRS Technologies (U.S.), FLIR Systems (U.S.), Sensors
Unlimited (U.S.), Excelitas Technologies (U.S.), and ULIS
(France), are continuously
strategizing to accelerate their cutting edge technological
capabilities, R&D capabilities, and innovation to strengthen
their competitiveness in the global market. This is successfully
achieved with the assistance of numerous market strategies adopted
by these companies, includingfocusing on new product development,
alliances, and acquisitions to expand their presence, portfolio,
and market share. Apart from these companies, companies including
Vigo Systems (Poland), Sensors
Unlimited (U.S.), Opto Engineering (Italy), and Raptor photonics Ltd.
(Ireland) are also expected to
strengthen their market position through product approvals,
alliances, and agreements.
