The hyperspectral imaging technology has great potential, and the market is anticipated to grow during the forecast period owing to the widespread applications of HSI, increasing investments for RD activities, increasing demand from military and defense sectors, increased food safety concerns, and increasing awareness regarding early diagnosis of diseases.
The global hyperspectral imaging market was estimated to be at $791.2 million in 2021, which is expected to grow with a CAGR of 13.17% and reach $1,640.3 million by 2027.The growth in the global hyperspectral imaging market is expected to be primarily driven by increased awareness of the technology in different sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and mining.
COVID-19 Impact and Post-COVID-19 Scenario
The COVID-19 pandemic had a debilitating impact on the global ecosystem. The pandemic led to a shutdown of production facilities, which do not come under essential goods, which led to a negative impact on several markets. Hyperspectral imaging was negatively impacted since the pandemic led to a decline in the number of non-essential activities performed in all the facilities and research centers, which subsequently impacted the adoption of imaging devices, including those for HSI. Major players in the global hyperspectral imaging market faced disruptions in supply chains, and the demand for products was also reduced substantially. However, this impact was offset by the continued RD in the field of HSI along with newer research on how HSI could help detect COVID-19 more quickly and accurately.
