Industry Overview
From USD 0.48 billion in 2023, the Global Contactless Thermometer Market is predicted to grow to USD 1.1 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period (2025–2030). The growth of the contactless thermometer market is attributed to the rapid explosion of COVID-19 disease globally which is causing deaths massively across the globe. Furthermore, extensive funding attributed towards research by government organizations to treat COVID-19 along with increasing technological upgradation are the key factors driving the growth of the global contactless thermometer market.
A contactless thermometer or infrared thermometer helps in scanning the infrared heat emitted from the body further helps in determining the temperature and displays results in digital format on a liquid crystal display (LCD) screen. Sometimes these devices are termed laser thermometers or temperature guns that help in describing the ability of the device to measure temperature from a distance. Furthermore, testing patients in order to scan for coronavirus (COVID-19) has massively extended the demand for the global contactless thermometer market in the last few months.
Market Segmentation
Insight by Product Type
On the basis of product type, the global contactless thermometer market is bifurcated into handheld and fixed-mount thermometers. During the forecast period, the handheld segment is expected to witness higher CAGR, due to the extensive operational convenience and greater acceptance in healthcare facilities and airports.
Insight by End User
Based on end users, the global contactless thermometer market is categorized into healthcare facilities, individuals, and others. The healthcare facilities, under the end-user segment, would hold the largest share in the global contactless thermometer market in 2022. This is attributed to the large number of patients in hospitals.

Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Increasing demand for secure and more speedy results along with increasing simplicity and affordability of usage of contactless thermometer are the key factors driving the growth of the global contactless thermometer market. These thermometers are used in a simpler manner and do not require additional training and can be used by non-technical users as well. In the past few months, the contactless thermometer are used rampantly to trace patients suffering from COVID-19 globally. Furthermore, COVID-19 is maturing in almost every country such as the U.S., U.K., Spain, and India, and the key manufacturers are required to extend their development tremendously as the demand in the coming days would be 10 fold that is the key factor bolstering the growth of global contactless thermometer market in these countries enormously.
Health and Safety Measures: Even beyond the pandemic, there is an increased focus on health and safety measures in various industries. Contactless thermometers offer a convenient and hygienic way to measure body temperature, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Ease of Use: Contactless thermometers are user-friendly, making them suitable for both professional and personal use. They are often designed with clear instructions and intuitive interfaces.
Advancements in Technology: Continuous advancements in infrared sensor technology have improved the accuracy and efficiency of contactless thermometers. Manufacturers have been able to produce more reliable and affordable devices.
Regulatory Standards: Governments and health organizations worldwide have established guidelines and standards for temperature screening. Compliance with these standards has increased the demand for reliable contactless thermometers.
Challenges
However, research and development in medical types of equipment have created certain alternatives for contactless thermometers which is the key factor expected to hamper the growth of global contactless thermometer market.
Geographic Overview
Around the globe, North America was the largest contactless thermometer market in 2020. The growth of this market in the region is attributed to the rapid pervasiveness of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and neo-natal care awareness. In April 2020, approximately 2,222,974 cases has been witnessed in this region as a result of the demand for contactless thermometers exploded as people become more aware and faster results provided by the device so that necessary precautions could be undertaken.
Moreover, the contactless thermometer market in Asia-Pacific is expected to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to increasing awareness of these devices due to the explosion of COVID-19 and the increasing population that is estimated to be affected by this pandemic in the near future specifically in countries such as India. Furthermore, an increasing number of manufacturers developing veterinary infrared thermometers is another factor driving the growth of the global contactless thermometer market.
