Global Infrared Thermometer Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The World Health Organization (WHO) designated the illness caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which first appeared in Wuhan (province of Hubei, China) in the last months of 2025 as "coronavirus disease 2025" or COVID-19. This virus spread quickly and had a serious negative impact on the economies, social behaviors, and healthcare of every country in the world.
COVID-19 affected the economy in three main ways: by directly affecting production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on firms and financial markets. Due to the lockdown, several countries, such as India, China, Brazil, and others faced problems with regard to the transportation of drugs from one place to another.
COVID-19 had a positive impact on the global infrared thermometer market, as companies were engaged in product portfolio expansion strategies, in order to manufacture and launch products, which are required during the COVID–19 pandemic situation. For instance, in June 2025, Astrum Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong-based manufacturer of IT accessories and consumer electronic goods, added infrared thermometers segment to its product portfolio, thereby expanding its health category. In June 2025, the company launched infrared thermometer GF-Z99Y, in India, for proper detection and monitoring of the COVID-19 positive patients. This infrared thermometer is a contactless device, which can record temperature from a distance of 3-5 cm and can store up to 100 records in its built-in storage. This infrared thermometer is intended to be used in hospitals, airports, railway stations, offices, schools, malls, and for home and personal use.
Global Infrared Thermometer Market: Key Developments
On March 30, 2025, Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Ltd., a pharmaceutical company, worked on launching the Fever Day Campaign to enhance awareness of the importance of fever management. For this campaign, tallest thermometer structure was created and installed at Phalodi, Rajasthan, India. Fever Day Camps were rolled out in more than 50,000 clinics across India as part of this campaign.
In August 2025, Exergen Corporation, the leader in infrared temperature measurement for medical applications, is pleased to announce that NIDEK Medical, a pan Indian Medical distributor, has signed an agreement to distribute the temporal artery line consisting of the TAT-5000, TAT-2000 and TAT-2000C Temporal Artery Thermometers and accessories in India.
In May 2025, Segun Life, a manufacturer of wearables and healthcare devices working towards various COVID-19 Helplines and non-profit initiatives, has partnered with TCL, a China based electronics company, to launch infrared thermometer to aid COVID-19 in India. The thermometer comes with Liquid-crystal display (LCD) display with vibration alert and accurate ergonomic measurements. The thermometer is non-touch 3-in-1 digitally equipped for different levels of temperature. It can measure temperature in the room for food, objects and liquids also. The device comes with no-touch digital sensors to measure temperature from a distance to avoid contact risk. It is provided with a switch option between Celsius and Fahrenheit. The non-touch 3-in-1 digital infrared LED changes its colour basis temperature between High, Normal and Low. It changes backlight colour while detecting fever to red.
