The "Spectral Imaging: End-User Needs, Markets and Trends" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The spectral imaging market is expected to experience an annual growth rate of around 20% in the coming years (CAGR 2016-2022), starting from around 3,600 cameras (excluding the Space and Military markets) sold in 2017 and increasing to more than 9,000 cameras sold in 2022.

Sorting is currently the biggest market of multispectral and hyperspectral cameras, in revenue. The adoption in other industrial or in on-field applications remained low for three main reasons: the high cost of cameras, their large size and the huge amount of data to process and store.

Currently, the spectral imaging market is at a turning point in its evolution. Technical efforts have been made to build cameras at cost below $10,000 and compact enough to be implemented on drones or in industrial lines. Meanwhile, robust and user-friendly methods for spectral data analysis have been developed. These achievements will lead to a wider adoption of multi/hyperspectral cameras for on-field or in-line applications.
