Description

The global InGaAs SWIR Detector market size is expected to reach $ 505 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 7.9% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).

Indium gallium arsenic (InGaAs) material is considered to be an excellent material for making short wave infrared detector. The cutoff wavelength of short wave infrared detector made of InGaAs is about 1.7 μ m, which has the advantages of high absorption coefficient, high mobility and high detection rate. In 2024, global InGaAs SWIR Detector production reached approximately 17,489 k units, with an average global market price of around US$15.34 per unit.

The primary materials used for manufacturing short-wave infrared detectors include HgCdTe, InGaAs, PbS, and PtSi. With the continuous improvement in the growth and chip fabrication processes for InGaAs, detectors made from this material have become the best choice for SWIR applications. They boast a quantum efficiency of approximately 70% to 90%, a high mobility of around 8000 cm²/(V·s) at room temperature, along with high sensitivity, fast response times, and cost-effectiveness.

InGaAs SWIR detectors are widely used in various market sectors, including military, security monitoring, industrial applications, medical imaging, and scientific research. Major global manufacturers of InGaAs SWIR detectors include Hamamatsu Photonics, SCD, Lynred, Teledyne Technologies, and Sensors Unlimited. These leading companies are renowned in the industry for their outstanding product performance and customer satisfaction. However, market competition is intensifying, with more manufacturers entering the InGaAs SWIR detector space, including prominent domestic manufacturers in China such as Jiwu Optoelectronics, Guohui Optoelectronics, Zhongke Dexin, and Lideng Optoelectronics.

The main types of InGaAs SWIR detectors include single-element, linear array, and two-dimensional array detectors, with single-element InGaAs SWIR detectors holding the largest market share in terms of sales.

The primary consumer regions for InGaAs SWIR detectors are North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region, with the Asia-Pacific region being the largest consumer, accounting for approximately 45% of global revenue in 2024.

Industry Driving Factors:

Rapid Development of Infrared Detectors: Short-wave infrared InGaAs focal plane detectors are a research hotspot both domestically and internationally. China’s major strategic initiatives for the next generation of aerospace remote sensing instruments require high-performance, large-scale, small-pixel short-wave infrared InGaAs focal plane detectors with high spatial resolution, energy resolution, and temporal resolution.

Increased Domestic Production: Foreign research on InGaAs infrared focal plane devices began earlier, and many manufacturers have developed mature product lines. Although domestic research started later, significant progress has been made in recent years, narrowing the gap with international competitors.

Continuous Development of the Military Electronics Industry: With ongoing technological advancements, the military electronics sector is continuously innovating and improving. This industry plays a crucial role in national security and defense construction, enhancing national defense capabilities and security assurance. Moreover, military electronics are a vital part of the country's high-tech industry, contributing positively to economic development and technological progress.

In summary, InGaAs SWIR detectors are key components with significant applications across various industries, driven by advancements in technology and increasing domestic capabilities.
