Thermometer Market Trends: Analyzing Size and Share Worldwide
The global thermometer market is experiencing a significant surge in demand driven by the ongoing need for accurate body temperature monitoring, especially in the wake of infectious diseases like COVID-19. Thermometers have long been a crucial tool in healthcare, allowing for the detection of fever, a common symptom of various diseases. As technology advances, thermometers have evolved to become safer, more user-friendly, and efficient, catering to a wide range of applications.
The Evolution of Thermometers
Historically, various types of thermometers have been used for temperature monitoring:
- Mercury-filled: While slowly disappearing due to safety concerns, these thermometers were once common in clinical settings.
- Alcohol-filled: A safer alternative to mercury thermometers, they still take time to display temperature readings.
- Temperature strips: These are widely used in hospitals for quick temperature assessment but are not the most reliable.
- Infrared: Capable of providing instant and precise temperature readings, often used in the ear or on the forehead.
- Digital: Known for their speed, accuracy, and convenience, digital thermometers provide rapid results.
- Basal: Designed for tracking ovulation, offering precision to a fraction of a degree.
- Pacifier: Used for babies older than three months.
- App-based: Utilizing digital thermometers linked to mobile apps via Bluetooth for easy temperature monitoring.
Technical Advancements for Safer and User-friendly Thermometers
Recent innovations have introduced safer and more user-friendly alternatives, such as gallium thermometers containing non-toxic galinstan alloy. Phase-change or disposable thermometers, including liquid crystal and chemical variants, provide practical options. Wearable thermometers offer continuous temperature monitoring and connect to smartphones or tablets for data display. Touch, patch, and invisible (radiometric) thermometers are now widely available on the market.
A Growing Application Base Boosts Market Growth
The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted many governments to mandate thermal scanning at workplaces, resulting in a surge in demand for thermometer guns. Temperature checks have become a crucial part of everyday life, emphasizing the need for accurate temperature measurement.
Smart thermometers with features like health apps, data tracking, and AI-powered recommendations are flooding the market. Some companies are even combining fever detection with face recognition and AI-powered individual sorting. Thermal imaging cameras for reading body temperature have received approval from regulatory bodies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are in use worldwide.
COVID-19 Outbreak Opens New Avenues and Opportunities
The disruption of the supply chain in China has created an unprecedented opportunity for established and emerging players in the thermometer market. As thermometers have become scarce in traditional retail channels, innovation and cost-efficient healthcare solutions are in high demand.
Commercial spaces are now equipped with a variety of physical and technological options, including fever scanners, temperature-detecting tablets, thermal camera systems, and custom temperature sensing kiosks. These solutions are being deployed in airports, transportation hubs, healthcare facilities, malls, offices, and other places with high foot traffic.
