Pyrometer Market to Record a High Growth Rate during the Forecast Period, against a Backdrop of Increasing Demand from Metallurgy and Ceramic Industries

Introduction

The rising adoption of the infrared thermometer, also known as a radiation thermometer or non-contact thermometer, to detect an object’s surface temperature drives the growth of the pyrometer market. The increasing use of pyrometers as photodetectors because of their property of absorbing energy and measuring EM wave intensity at any wavelength is also augmenting the growth momentum. Manufacturers are designing pyrometers in different spectral ranges, such as short wave ranges and longwave ranges for metals and non-metals, respectively.

• Colour pyrometers are gaining widespread popularity to accurately measure the radiation emitted from the object.
• Optical pyrometers are expected to observe an upsurge in the demand for the thermal detection of the visible spectrum
• Infrared or radiation pyrometers are being adapted to measure radiation in the infrared region.

While the ruggedness and high cost of pyrometers hamper the market growth to a small extent, their exceptional advantages that can be leveraged by end-users in the metallurgy, smelting, and ceramic industries are binding investor attention. The COVID-19 pandemic has also increased the demand for heat-sensing thermometers around the world. The pyrometer market is forecast to register a high growth rate during the forecast period as the demand expands.
