EO/IR Gimbal Market

Market Overview:

The global EO/IR gimbal market size reached US$ 813.3 Million in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 1,766.5 Million by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.73% during 2024-2032.

Electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) gimbal is a small device equipped with a dual sensor for better pointing accuracy. It includes various features, such as all-around rotation, gyro-stabilization, compact structure, wireless digital transmission, high definition (HD) and IR dual sensor for day or night surveillance, high adaptability, great cost-efficiency, and low power dissipation. It is ideal for unmanned aerial platforms, including multirotor, fixed-wing, and hybrid UAVs, balloons, and aerostats. At present, it finds extensive applications in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), defense, marine, and law enforcement.

EO/IR Gimbal Market Trends:

The rising need for surveillance and the escalating demand for intelligent sensors and sighting devices represent one of the key factors positively influencing the market. For instance, EO/IR gimbal is employed in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) applications by the military in search and rescue and humanitarian disaster response. This, in confluence with increasing investments in airborne homeland security, combat, patrol, and defense systems, is encouraging key market players to introduce more advanced product variants. Moreover, the growing investments in research and development (R&D) activities in next-generation logistics are providing a thrust to the market growth. The development of nanostructure-based material technology to benefit next-generation EO/IR sensors is also supporting the market growth. These materials exhibit novel optoelectrical properties that enhance device performance for low-cost detection and imaging applications. In line with this, the integration of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), in the manufacturing industry is creating a positive market outlook. Furthermore, the development of innovative longwave infrared (LWIR) and EO laser guidance systems are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Additionally, the easy availability of EO/IR gimbal across online and offline distribution channels, coupled with doorstep delivery and secured payment gateways, is propelling the market growth.
