Infrared Thermometer Market Achieving Huge Demand as it is useful for recording the temperature of patients in hospital without touching them.

An infrared thermometer is an essential tool in Healthcare Industry. It
provides a quick and accurate way of checking the temperature of food and
liquids. This type of device is designed for close-range use and is highly
accurate. There are various models of infrared thermometers available in the
market. The Fluke 561 Infrared Thermometer is a good example of this kind of
thermometer.
The global Infrared
Thermometer Market is estimated to be valued at US$ 11.43
million in 2020 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast
period (2020-2027). The Infrared Thermometer has a detection range of 0.5 to
2.0 inches. It is capable of detecting the temperature of a person's body or
objects. This type of device has a color-changing display, which allows the
user to see the results within a few seconds. It also provides readings in
Fahrenheit and Celsius. There are also models with memory features, which make
them suitable for professional use. In regions such as the U.S., the rapid
spread of the COV ID-19 pandemic, has increased the usage of infrared
thermometers. For instance, according to the New York Times, the 7 day average
of COVID-19 cases in January 2021 in the U.S. was around 806,851.
The emissivity value of a material is a very important
factor to consider when choosing an infrared thermometer. As the name implies,
black body radiation is emitted by anything above absolute zero. The higher the
temperature, the more molecules move, and they emit infrared radiation.
Infrared is considered a form of electromagnetic radiation and is a subset of
visible light. The higher the temperature, the more infrared the material
emits. As a result, a heated metal will glow red or white.
Infrared thermometers
can measure temperatures as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit and as high as 428
degrees Fahrenheit. Most of these thermometers are suitable for moderate
temperature ranges. However, there are some models that are sensitive to
extreme temperatures. The
distance-to-spot ratio is a measurement of the distance between an object and
the thermometer. The bigger the ratio, the closer the thermometer can be to the
target. The more people the thermometer can be from an object, the better. The
best-infrared thermometers will measure the surface temperature of the object.
There are also infrared thermometers that can detect heat and cool objects.
Increasing product launches is expected to boost the global
infrared thermometer market growth over the forecast period- For instance, on
May 13, 2020, DetelPro launched its certified infrared thermometer, which comes
with a digital sensor and has a temperature range of 32? – 42.99?, and accuracy
of about +- 0.2 Celsius. This infrared thermometer is available at a price of
US$ 40.1381 with a one year warranty. This device has no touch sensors, which
helps in recording the temperature at a distance of 3-5 cm, thus avoiding cross
contamination between the patients during this Covid -19 pandemic.
Market restraints-
Infrared thermometers can only record the surface
temperature and not the internal temperature of food items. It has been
observed that the functioning of infrared thermometer can be temporarily affected
due to frost, moisture, dust, fog, smoke or other particles in the air. The
readings of the infrared thermometer are not accurate. The accuracy can be
increased by using the specialty meters which are accurate, but can be very
expensive.
