Night Vision Device Market Insights

The global night vision device market size will grow from USD 6.22 billion in 2021 to USD 10.21 billion by 2026 and is projected to grow with a CAGR of 9.21%.

The primary factors driving the growth of the night vision device market include the increasing requirement of enhanced and advanced night vision devices, increasing military modernization & expenditure, and emerging advanced technology. Moreover, factors such as the development of night vision devices by thermal imaging, combined with integration with wireless technology, and lightweight features of night vision devices will support the market growth. Technological innovations such as advances in the components utilized in night vision devices will also contribute to developing the market over the forecast period.

BAE Systems, Harris Corporation, L3, and DRS are involved in developing Family of Weapon Sight-Individual (FWS-I) and Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVGs). Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVGs) assist soldiers in navigating easily in all levels of light and situations, hence widening the night vision goggles' functional value. An important advantage is the prompt target detection that enhances shooting accuracy by giving a simultaneous line of visibility that permits the shooter to point effortlessly. Hence, the launch of advanced products will help boost the demand for night vision devices in the global market.

Night Vision Device Market: By Type

Based on the type, the market is segmented into four segments namely; camera, goggles, and scope, among others. The camera segment will account for a substantial market share in 2020. The growth of the camera segment is due to low maintenance costs and low purchasing prices. Besides, cameras are lightweight, flexible, and are detachable.

The scope segment will account for the largest market share over the forecast period. The demand for scopes is comparatively higher than goggles because they offer greater performance. Scopes are largely used as weapon sights even though they are heavier and larger than goggles. Also, this product can be utilized for scouting as well as navigation purposes. Goggles find widespread application in the defense division globally owing to their versatility through night operations.

Night Vision Device Market: By Technology

Based on the technology, the market is segregated into three segments namely; image intensifier, and thermal imaging, among others. The image intensifier segment is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment due to its high significance and popularity based on the technology. These devices are segmented based on generations with each notable change in night vision technology, giving rise to a brand-new generation of devices. Generation 3 devices are widely used at present by the U.S. military due to their better sensitivity and resolution. Also, Generation 4 devices are named filmless and gated as they function efficiently in both low and high-light settings.

The thermal imaging segment will account for the largest market share over the forecast period. There are two kinds of thermal imaging devices, namely, cryogenically-cooled and uncooled. Uncooled devices can operate at room temperatures and are the most common ones. Cryogenically cooled devices are comparatively expensive and are extremely susceptible to damage from rough use.

Night Vision Device Market: By Application

Based on the application, the market is segmented into six segments including defense, wildlife spotting, wildlife conservation, surveillance, and navigation, among others. The defense segment will account for the largest share and is anticipated to expand at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The conditions with poor visibility and substantial rise in military activities at night have led to a considerable increase in demand for night vision devices.

The wildlife conservation segment will be the second-largest segment due to the rise in wildlife research activities and night safaris. Funding granted by the government for wildlife research has allowed researchers to use advanced products. Wildlife research activities require the use of various devices, particularly during nights, as navigation and surveillance often constitute a significant part of wildlife research.

Night Vision Device Market: By Region

The Asia Pacific region is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR due to an extensive increase in expenditure on devices and weapons for the defense sector, the surge in border disputes, and a notable increase in demand from the commercial sector.

North America is anticipated to have the largest market share, which includes countries like Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. The U.S. is a significant market and the driving factor for the growth are increasing demand for devices like night vision scope, night vision camera, night vision goggle, and the upgraded technology in various other application areas.

Europe will account for a substantial market share and grow at a steady pace over the forecast period. Countries such as France, Germany, and the U.K. are increasingly utilizing these devices in city surveillance applications.
