Middle East and Africa (MEA) Thermal Scanner Market (2020-2026) | Growth, Industry, Forecast, Value, Share, Outlook, Size, Companies, Trends, COVID-19 IMPACT, Analysis & Revenue

The Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market are likely to witness considerable growth, primarily due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic at the beginning of the year 2020, which has resulted in a wider usage of thermal Scanners across public places such as airports, public transport, hospitals, and other government organizations. Thermal scanners are installed at airports and another local transport system for screening humans infected with the coronavirus. For instance, airport-style thermal scanners are installed at the entry of shopping malls and supermarkets in the UAE to detect and prevent probable cases of Coronavirus. Further, based on UAE government directives, thermal scanners are installed at the Emirates NBD office as a precautionary measure to ensure the health and well-being of all the employees. These initiatives will further spur the demand for thermal scanners in the Middle East and Africa region.

According to 6Wresearch, the Middle East, and Africa (MEA) Thermal Scanner Market size is likely to witness considerable growth during 2020-26. Rising deployment of thermal scanners by governments in the aerospace & defense sectors, increasing demand for thermal scanners at airports, malls, and government and private offices along with rising investment by the government to strengthen R&D and bring innovation in thermal scanning solutions are some of the key growth drivers of the thermal scanner market in the Middle East and Africa region.

The sale of thermal scanners has augmented considerably, particularly across Turkey, Iran, Israel Middle East, and Africa, UAE, and Qatar due visit of foreign tourists and passengers as well as pilgrims who have traveled at the beginning of the year 2020 in the region. The table below highlights the key potential Middle East and African countries which have recorded huge demand for thermal scanners.

The table below depicts countries with the highest number of confirmed cases and new cases of COVID-19 pandemic in the Middle East and Africa, as of 21st April 2020.

In terms of wavelength, the SWIR wavelength thermal scanners are recording higher growth primarily due to their ability to operate in a range of applications. Additionally, based on technology, the uncooled technology segment leads the overall Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market as they are cost-efficient and requires low maintenance. Further, based on applications, the thermography application dominates the overall thermal scanner market in the Middle East and Africa due to the increasing demand for thermal audits in the manufacturing industry. Whereas, in terms of verticals, the commercial vertical leads the overall thermal scanner market in the Middle East and Africa. 

Some of the major players operating in the Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market are Axis Communications AB, Thermoteknix Systems Ltd, FLIR Systems, Inc., Fluke Corporation, Leonardo S.p.A., L3harris Technologies, INC., and Opgal.  

The Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market report thoroughly covers the market by type, by technology, by applications, by verticals, and by key countries including the Middle East and Africa, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iran, South Africa, and the Rest of the Middle East and Africa. The Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market outlook report provides an unbiased and detailed analysis of the ongoing Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market trends, opportunities/high growth areas, and market drivers which would help the stakeholders to devise and align their market strategies according to the current and future market dynamics.

The Middle East thermal scanners market is estimated to witness substantial growth in the coming years on the back of the rising concern of disease prevalence. The product demand is slightly low due to fewer product manufacturers coupled with product prices quoted high in the country. Additionally, certain Middle East countries like UAE and Saudi Arabia using thermal imaging massively rather than thermal scanners are leading to declining in product demand. Although the market will grow backed by rising concern and awareness towards the sudden spread of diseases such as COVID-19 but not at a superior level. Moreover, the Rising spread of disease makes it mandatory to adopt thermal scanners domestically which are estimated to leave a positive impact on the product demand and are estimated to spur the potential growth of Middle East Thermal Scanner in the country.

Middle East thermal scanner market is estimated to gain momentum during the forecast period 2020-26F backed by the rising substantial growth of the healthcare sector across the region. Saudi Arabia thermal scanner market is estimated to generate high sales revenues in the country underpinned by the successful growth of the healthcare system coupled with the rising growth of medical services especially in public hospitals, where the government is taking the keen initiative in treating and providing free medical services to the population and also investing in the availability of essential medical equipment in order to allocate medical resources to the poor people timely like a disposable mask, hand sanitizer, and thermal scanner. Moreover, China and Germany are two thermal scanner exporting countries especially in Saudi Arabia, and hence, the overall market landscape is based on an import-based market scenario as of now. however, with the successive growth of the healthcare sector in the country, thermal scanners are expected to witness their domestic manufacturing in the upcoming three years and this is expected to benefit the Saudi Arabia thermal scanner market to seek a serious headway towards progressive growth in the coming time zone, further benefitting the overall Middle East thermal scanner market to seek growth.

The Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market is projected to witness substantial growth in the upcoming six years on the back of the rising prevalence of chronic disease across the region. Coronavirus outbreak globally has undoubtedly been the top reason for driving the thermal scanner demand in the market, therefore in 2021 the reopening of commercial sectors such as commercial offices, shopping centers, and retail stores after the covid -19 pandemic along with having concern about the disease transmission is at the same pace which is estimated to keep the thermal scanner demand continue and is expected to leave a positive impact on the growth of the Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market in the years ahead.

The Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market is projected to witness substantial growth in the upcoming six years on the back of the rising substantial growth of the healthcare sector. Also, the reopening of the commercial sector after covid-19 prevalence but still the health concern is at the same phase and bothering circumstances for the population, therefore, the thermal scanner deployment is increasing to early detection of the coronavirus symptoms and to maintain safety for the others as well and this would benefit the growth of the Middle East and Africa thermal scanner market on the upcoming six years.
