Further, hyperspectral imaging is preferable in cancer treatment because these systems provide continuous information and aid in understanding tissue changes that occur in the early stages of disease development; additionally, it distinguishes healthy cells from carcinogenic cells. The hyperspectral imaging system has become compact, better suited for use in diverse fields, economically priced, and such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, food testing, medical diagnostics, art research, and waste management.
Additionally, the increasing investments and funding are also other factors fetching revenues. For instance, on 11 February 2022, Wyvern made a total of USD 7.65 million in private and Canadian government financing to build a foldable telescope that would approve it to integrate more capability onto smaller, less expensive-to-launch hyperspectral imaging satellites. Wyvern intends to lower cost obstacles to give hyperspectral solutions that have typically concentrated on the defense market to commercial clients for the first time by deploying deployable optics that can adhere to CubeSat specifications. Thus, increasing investments by key market players have enhanced the HISs market CAGR across the globe in recent years.
However, Ground-based hyperspectral imaging has aroused the interest of researchers working on electronic imaging for medical surgery, forensic science, food inspection, and diagnosis, as well as military applications in current years. Rising applications of innovative hyperspectral imaging technologies in varied fields are fetching the growth of the Hyperspectral Imaging System market revenue.
The market segments of hyperspectral imaging system, based on product, includes Visible/Near-Infrared (VNIR), Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) Short-Wave Infrared (SWIR), Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR). The Visible/Near-Infrared (VNIR) segment held the majority share in 2022 with respect to the Hyperspectral Imaging System Market revenue. This is primarily because of the ease of operating and high efficiency of VNIR products. The VNIR systems make a false-color composite image made using near-infrared, green, and blue wavelengths. They are used in the healthcare and agriculture sectors.
However, Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment owing to the rising adoption of MWIR systems in sensing volcanic vents, industrial gas leaks, or biomass burning events.
September 2022: the U.S. and NASA Geographical Survey launched mapping propotion of Southwest United States for critical minerals using advanced airborne imaging. The scientists will understand biology, the Earth's geology, and impact of climate change through hyperspectral data from hundreds of wavelengths of reflected light.
The Hyperspectral Imaging System Market segmentation, based on application, includes Surveillance, Remote Sensing, Machine Vision/Optical, and Medical Diagnostics. The surveillance segment dominated the market in 2022 with respect to hyperspectral imaging system market data and is anticipated to be the faster-growing segment during the study period. This is prior to increasing applications of HIS in the defense sector and increasing government investments and funding. HISs, for example, are used in a variety of military and government applications, as well as, satellites, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, and medium-altitude commercial aircraft. These are the factors positively implanting Hyperspectral Imaging Systems market growth and, thus, the hyperspectral imaging system industry.
However, the remote sensing segment is anticipated to exhibit the fastest revenue CAGR during the study period due to more applications in agriculture to observe crops for invasive plant species and diseases. This provides valuable data for decision-making for pesticide or herbicide application and supports the cost-benefit ratio. Moreover, both of the remaining segments are projected to show notable growth during the forecast period, 2023 - 2032.
September 2022: Resonon, a hyperspectral imaging company, announced two new NIR range (925 - 1700 nm), Pika IR-L+ and hyperspectral imagers: the Pika IR-L. In contrast to the current generation of NIR images, the new images are smaller, roughly three times lighter, and have a greater spectral resolution. This approval has further widened the growth opportunity for the Hyperspectral Imaging System industry.
October 2021: Cubert GMBH made an announcement about the HIS-ULTRIS 5 tiny Hyperspectral Video Imager based on Light Field Technology.
