Scope of the Report

The global Infrared (IR) LED market size is predicted to grow from US$ 919 million in 2025 to US$ 1,863 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.7% from 2026 to 2032.

Infrared rays are electromagnetic radiations in the nonvisible spectrum of white light, which range from 1300 to 1700 nm. Infrared light emitting diode (IR LED) is a solid-state lighting (SSL) device, which emits light in the infrared range. It spreads the light on a vast area rather than concentrating it or in other words IR LED’s have a wide field of view. These LED’s find their extensive use in security and surveillance cameras, along with automated driving vehicles.

The world leading players in the Infrared (IR) LED market are EVERLIGHT, Epistar, Osram, DOWA, Lite-On Technology, Vishay Intertechnology, Luminus, Ushio, AU Optronics(Lextar), Showa Denko(SDK), Lumileds, Kingbright, HPLighting, ON Semiconducts, Rohm Semiconductor and so on. These top companies currently account for more than 89% of the total market share and are expected to retain their dominating hold over the market during the forecast period.
