Global Infrared Search and Track (IRST) System Supply, Demand and Key Producers, 2026-2032
Description
The global Infrared Search and Track (IRST) System market size is expected to reach $ 1264 million by 2032, rising at a market growth of 5.0% CAGR during the forecast period (2026-2032).
An infrared search and track (IRST) system, or known as infrared sighting and tracking system, is a method to detect and track objects emitting infrared radiation, such as jet aircraft and helicopters. IRTS system is widely used in security and surveillance in military and national defense fields, especially when stealth aircraft are found without radar.
The biggest advantage of IRST systems is that they do not emit any infrared radiation of their own, which makes them difficult to detect, which is different from radars that emit their own infrared characteristics.
In recent years, high-precision sensors, advanced image processing technology and advanced display system have further promoted the development of infrared search and tracking (IRST) system.
In terms of type, there are two types of infrared search and track (IRST) system: military grade IRST and civil grade IRST. military grade IRST holds a share of about 98% in the global market. And in terms of application, the largest application is air applications, followed by naval & land (military). The main players are Lockheed Martin Corporation, Leonardo SpA, with more than 49% market share.
