SCHLIEREN IMAGING SYSTEM MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global Schlieren Imaging System Market is poised for significant growth, starting approximately at USD 0.064 billion in 2024, rising to USD 0.07 billion in 2025, and projected to reach USD 0.1 billion by 2033, with a CAGR of 4.5% from 2025 to 2033.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the schlieren imaging system experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

Schlieren imaging systems effectively identify variations or non-uniformities in the refractive indices of air or other transparent substances. Aeronautical engineering frequently uses photography to record the path of air around objects. The Schlieren system can be used for a variety of tasks, such as calculating the refractive index, wind tunnel research, fluid and air current flow, internal glass characteristics, flame analysis, sound velocity, and microscopic particle mass.

Schlieren setups can also be used to examine the small-scale unevenness that is often detected using interferometers or other high-sensitivity techniques. Any surface irregularities in a transparent material can be seen with a schlieren setup. The slight lumps or imperfections in the structure cause the same light deviation in fluids as in solids.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Disruption of the Supply Chain Hampered Market Growth

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a severe and urgent public health crisis. The schlieren imaging systems are essential for spotting higher body temperatures to identify coronaviruses. Additionally, businesses use AI-enabled technologies like IoT, digital twins, smart robots, and others to track production in real-time at industrial facilities. As a result, there are a lot fewer personnel and workers needed on site, supporting the mandates for social distancing in the fight against COVID-19. With a strict social distancing standard being implemented globally, the need for these technologies to track patients will increase in public spaces, including stadiums, trains, airports, and grocery stores.

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Per Capita Income to Boost Product Demand

The market is forecasted to grow due to a rise in the use of infrared imaging for security and surveillance purposes.
