The South America image intensifier tube market is expected to grow from US$ 54.35 million in 2022 to US$ 61.93 million by 2028. It is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 2.2% from 2022 to 2028.

Increasing Integration in Variable-Speed Imaging Applications is Driving the South America Image Intensifier Tube Market

The demand for image intensifier tubes is increasing with the procurement of high-speed camera systems such as HiCATT (i.e., high-speed intensified camera attachment). Such instruments are utilized to capture the images in moving conditions. For example, combustion research demands the capturing of each stage of combustion inside any chamber; this application requires high-speed imaging systems. Image intensifier tubes enable the enhancement of the quality of captured images, along with high-resolution output, in such high-speed imaging applications. Moreover, image intensification systems help collect images for super slow-motion combustion research in the automotive industry. Several companies and organizations have been constantly working on the development of efficient and low-emission combustion technologies, which continues to generate the demand for more advanced image intensifier products for combustion research applications. Thus, the increasing demand for varying-speed (high, low, and ultra-speed) imaging systems is one of the major trends catalyzing the growth of the image intensifier tube market.

South America Image Intensifier Tube Market Overview

Based on geography, the South America image intensifier market is segmented into Brazil, Argentina, and the Rest of South America. Over the years, countries in South America have experienced a rise in the adoption of technologically advanced military equipment to enhance their military capabilities. Government bodies across countries such as Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru have increased their military spending over the years. According to SIPRI, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru spent 3.28%, 5.90%, 9.57%, and 4.49%, respectively towards their military in 2021. This rise in military spending in the countries mentioned above has propelled the demand for image intensifier tubes from the region’s military sector over the forecast period. South American countries have experienced a rise in investment in the healthcare sector to enhance their medical infrastructure. According to the Brazilian Association of Medical, Dental, Hospital and Laboratory Equipment Industries (ABIMO), there are more than 400 medical and dental device manufacturers
