Image intensifiers are specialized devices used to amplify low-light images to improve visibility in dark or low-illumination conditions. These devices capture ambient light, often from sources such as the moon or stars and magnify it to create a visible image that can be seen even in near-total darkness.
The image intensifier market consists of sales of image intensifiers by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) that manufacture, distribute and maintain image intensifiers for diverse applications. These devices are used by medical professionals, defense personnel, industrial technicians and photographers who require enhanced visibility in dark or low-light conditions.
The global image intensifier market was valued at $1,076.07 million in 2018 which grew till 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 6.00%.
Increased Demand For Minimally Invasive Surgeries
Increased demand for minimally invasive surgeries propelled the growth of the image intensifier market during the historic period. As minimally invasive techniques rely heavily on precise imaging to guide procedures, the need for advanced imaging technologies like image intensifiers has grown substantially. These devices enhance visibility during surgery, enabling clinicians to navigate complex anatomy with accuracy, reducing the risk of complications. For instance, in October 2022, according to a blog posted by ClinicSpots, an India-based online platform that allows users and patients to discuss symptoms and treatments with medical professionals, over 12,800 procedures have been conducted in 70+ facilities by 500 qualified surgeons in the last 12 years. Minimally invasive treatment or robotic surgery is becoming increasingly popular in India. Robotic surgery enables doctors to conduct difficult operations and treatments with accuracy and precision. Therefore, increased demand for minimally invasive surgeries contributed to the growth of the image intensifier market.
Launch Of Cutting-Edge Image Intensifiers To Support High-End Scientific Research
Major companies operating in the image intensifier market are developing cutting-edge image intensifiers to support high-end scientific research. This product provides a new high-performance option for scientists and researchers who require enhanced imaging in low-light conditions, which is critical for various scientific fields such as medical imaging, machine vision, astronomy and biological research. For instance, in January 2024, Exosens, a France-based company that provides photo-detection and low-light conditions imaging solutions, introduced a new product, the Exosens 25 mm Image Intensifier, that enhances their Photonis Ultimate Detection Scientific Imaging portfolio. It is designed for various scientific applications, including medical imaging and machine vision. With the introduction of the new 25 mm variant now complementing the Scientific Image Intensifier line-up, camera manufacturers can provide scientists and researchers with high-end intensified imaging solutions for every application.
The global image intensifier market is fairly fragmented, with large number of small players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 24.8% of the total market in 2023.
