Global Acoustic Camera Market Trends:

The Rising Applications in the Automotive Industry

The widespread adoption of electric cars is propelling the demand for acoustic cameras to test the vibration, noise, and harshness of these automobiles. This, in turn, is projected to create significant opportunities for overall market growth. For instance, according to the International Energy Agency, sales of electric cars, including plug-in hybrids and fully electric, doubled in 2021 and reached about 6.6 million. In line with this, government authorities across various countries are implementing stringent regulations and running pilot programs to minimize the noise pollution levels generated by vehicles, which is further bolstering the overall global market. For example, the regulatory bodies in France announced a new experiment with 'noise cameras' to reduce excessive noise from moving vehicles. Apart from this, smart cars, such as automobiles with connectivity, artificial intelligence, and autonomous driving features, are emerging across the globe. This, in turn, is augmenting the demand for acoustic sensors that help in providing better information to the drivers. For example, Moritz Brandes, the Project Manager of the Hearing Car at IDMT in Oldenburg, stated that they developed and tested new sensor technologies and algorithms for source localization, signal enhancement, acoustic environment monitoring, and speech interaction on both test tracks and roads.

The Increasing Focus on Reducing Noise Pollution Levels

Rising concerns about reducing noise pollution levels in manufacturing facilities are driving the adoption of acoustic cameras, which is bolstering the global market. In the past few decades, the region's manufacturing sector has increased significantly. According to the World Bank, the value added by the manufacturing industry to the GDP of the East Asia & Pacific region increased to 25%. Manufacturers from the area are adopting new techniques in manufacturing to reduce costs, save time, increase efficiency, and improve product quality. Growing manufacturing facilities across various industries and rising noise levels from multiple manufacturing plants and their associated discomfort to humans are expected to drive the demand for acoustic camera solutions in the region. Apart from this, in July 2022, Teledyne Technologies Incorporated acquired a majority interest in Noiseless Acoustics Oy. NL Acoustics is a Finnish company involved in designing and manufacturing acoustics imaging instruments and predictive maintenance solutions. Such acquisitions and strategic collaborations will continue to drive the market for acoustic cameras in the coming years.

Numerous Advancements in Sensor Technologies

According to the acoustic camera statistics, key players are investing in sensor technologies to prevent the failure of equipment, which is also acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. For instance, Teledyne FLIR, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated, introduced a new set of sound imaging cameras that feature a wider acoustic detection range, up to 65Khz, along with an integrated battery and a quick start power button to make condition monitoring and inspection more efficient and effective. In line with this, SONOTEC, a German company, expanded its product portfolio with the new acoustic camera, called SONASCREEN. According to the company, the camera-generated acoustic images from ultrasound and audible frequency ranges enabled maintenance teams to locate leaks in compressed air and vacuum systems quickly. Moreover, various innovations, including the introduction of the FLIR Si124, offer easy-to-understand reporting, on-camera analytics, and predictive analysis using an AI and web tool. An inspector can perform leak cost analysis, classify leak severity, and do partial discharge pattern analysis in real-time during a survey. Once the survey is complete, the inspector can connect to their Wi-Fi network to upload images to the acoustic camera viewer.

Acoustic Camera Industry Segmentation:

IMARC Group provides an analysis of the key trends in each segment of the global acoustic camera market report, along with forecasts at the global, regional, and country levels from 2024-2032. Our report has categorized the market based on array type, measurement type, application and end use.

Breakup by Array Type:
