The global night vision devices market exhibited moderate growth during 2015-2020. Night vision devices (NVDs) assist in amplifying the gamma, infrared and ultraviolet light to produce an accurate and user-friendly image in the dark environment. These devices have navigation and targeting capabilities and are made using an objective lens, image intensifier tube (IIT) screen, eyepiece and power source. NVDs rely on the objective lens to gather light particles coming from the object and aid in focusing these particles on the IIT screen to form an image. Owing to their attributes, these devices are widely used by security agencies to enhance visual capabilities during nighttime.
Market Trends:
With increasing terrorist threats and unlawful activities, security screening has become mandatory at places such as airports, railway stations, stadiums, border checkpoints and other public areas. As night vision devices help to navigate, observe, detect and target intruders and trespassers, their demand is increasing across the globe. Apart from this, NVDs are used by wildlife biologists and photographers to study animal behavior. For instance, thermal imaging devices that are able to work in absolute darkness have enabled photographers to capture unusual activities of nocturnal animals. Some of the other factors anticipated to impel the market growth over the forecast period include reduced costs, enhanced designs, convenience and technological advancements offering improved overall performance. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the global night vision devices market to grow at a CAGR of around 6% during the forecast period (2021-2026).
