A monocular telescope is a portable optical device designed to provide a magnified view of distant objects through a single-lens system. It's commonly used for activities like birdwatching, hiking, and attending sporting events, allowing users to clearly see details from a distance. Its compact and user-friendly design makes it ideal for on-the-go observation and recreational purposes.
Monocular telescopes come in various types, including compact monoculars, zoom monoculars, night vision monoculars, and thermal imaging monoculars. Compact monoculars are small, easy-to-carry devices that offer magnified views of distant objects. The magnification options range from 5x-10x, 11x-20x, 21x-30x, to 31x and above, catering to different levels of users such as amateurs, professionals, and military or law enforcement personnel. These telescopes are used in various applications, including birdwatching, wildlife observation, hunting, surveillance, and sports.

This monocular telescope research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The monocular telescope market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $12.02 billion in 2023 to $14.76 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.8%. The historical growth can be attributed to several factors, including the rising demand for night vision and thermal imaging cameras, increased adoption of monocular telescopes in military and law enforcement, a growing need for surveillance, higher disposable incomes, and an increasing focus on security.
The monocular telescope market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $33.89 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23.1%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including the increasing demand for outdoor activities, the growing popularity of birdwatching, rising demand for high-quality optics, the need for lightweight equipment, the growing interest in virtual reality, and the expansion of the tourism and travel industry. Key trends expected during this period include technological advancements, the introduction of new materials and technologies, the development of lightweight and compact devices, integration of automated tracking, advances in optical lens design and fabrication, and progress in digital integration.
The increasing popularity of outdoor recreation activities is expected to drive the growth of the monocular telescope market. Outdoor recreation activities, such as hiking, camping, fishing, and kayaking, are leisure pursuits enjoyed in natural or open-air settings. These activities promote physical fitness, relaxation, and a deeper connection with nature. The rise in outdoor recreation is fueled by growing awareness of the health and wellness benefits, advancements in outdoor gear and technology, and a heightened interest in nature and adventure experiences. Monocular telescopes are commonly used in these activities to enhance the visibility of distant objects and scenery, making them ideal for birdwatching, hiking, wildlife observation, and outdoor sports events by providing a magnified and clearer view of distant landscapes and activities. For example, in November 2023, a report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, a U.S.-based government agency, revealed that in 2022, outdoor recreation contributed 19.8% to the total value added, up from 19.0% in 2021. Supporting activities accounted for 46.0% of the value added in 2022, compared to 43.6% the previous year. As a result, the growth in outdoor recreation activities is driving the monocular telescope market.
Leading companies in the monocular telescope market are consistently innovating to improve user experience by incorporating advanced technologies such as fiber optic illumination. Fiber optic illumination in optical devices uses fiber optics to direct light to the reticle, offering a clear, sharp, and highly visible dot for enhanced precision, even in diverse lighting conditions. For example, in March 2024, Yukon Group, a Lithuania-based developer of thermal imaging devices and digital optics, launched upgradable thermal monoculars for civilian use. This innovative device allows users to progressively enhance its features over time, marking a significant advancement in optical technology. Furthermore, the monoculars can be upgraded with improved hardware, greatly extending the device's lifespan. This approach aligns with sustainability goals and the EU's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, promoting a circular economy.
In March 2024, Kopin Corporation, a U.S.-based provider of application-specific optical solutions and high-performance micro-displays, collaborated with BlueHalo LLC to design, develop, and manufacture advanced simulated binoculars and monoscope products for BlueHalo's Advanced Stinger Trainer (AST) system. These new products are anticipated to deliver significantly improved performance over existing systems and will complement Kopin's established portfolio of training and simulation products. BlueHalo LLC is a U.S.-based company specializing in the development of technologies and solutions for space and ground systems.
