The terahertz technology market was valued at US$ 461.9 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 3,003.1 million by 2030; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 26.4% during the forecast period.

APAC is anticipated to be the fastest-growing region with an impressive CAGR of 27.7% during 2022–2030. APAC region consist of various developing economies such as China, India, and several southeast countries as well as developed economies such as Japan and South Korea. In developing nations such China and India, the medical and healthcare as well as food & agriculture industry is rising at an impressive pace owing to the rising disposable incomes, increasing urbanization, high population growth, supportive government policies, and growing number of public private partnerships. All these factors are anticipated offer ample growth opportunities for terahertz technology market players in the APAC region. Owing to the increasing investments in agriculture industry development, other developing regions such as Middle East, Africa, and South America are also expected to grow at a steady pace over the forecast period of 2023 to 2030. During the forecast period of 2022 to 2030, the growth outlook of terahertz technology in all the major geographic regions estimated to be quite positive. However, due to ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, all the major countries in regions such as Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America had imposed strict restrictions on business activities and movement of goods and people. All these factors are anticipated to affect both supply and demand of terahertz technology, thus affecting the revenue growth of the global terahertz technology market especially in the year 2020. It is expected that the market growth will stabilize in 2021 and terahertz technology market will see positive growth to 2030.

Based on component, the terahertz detectors segment held the largest share in the global terahertz technology market. Terahertz radiation falls between the microwaves and the far infrared bands of the electromagnetic spectrum. These radiations are capable of penetrating plastics, clothes, and wood; they are non-ionizing radiations, which makes them safe for humans and animals, unlike X-rays that can be harmful. Terahertz radiations are widely utilized in full body scanning machines at airports and other public places for security applications as well as in medical applications for initial cancer cell detection. Terahertz radiation falls in the frequency range of 0.1–10 THz, corresponding to wavelengths from 3 mm to 30 ?m.
