The domestic security market can be divided into government market, enterprise market and civil market according to customer structure.At present, the first demand drive of security is still dependent on government demand, "Ping an City "," Smart City "," Snow Project" and other projects, It is expected to speed up the increase of video surveillance penetration in China. During the 12th Five-Year Plan and the 13th Five-Year Plan, The popularity of smart cities has helped the security industry double from 277.3 billion yuan in 2011 to 657.8 billion yuan in 2017, The annual compound growth rate reached 15% of the medium-high speed development. According to the foresight institute, China's smart city spending will continue to grow at around 14% over the next few years, This will continue to stimulate demand in the security industry, Security video surveillance industry growth period.


Ping an city, smart transportation and smart buildings accounted for 24%,18% and 16% respectively in the application of security products industry in 2016, accounting for more than half of the whole application market.With the continuous promotion of security intelligence, emerging markets such as unmanned supermarkets, autopilot and other business opening will bring continuous demand for security monitoring.


The main battlefield of the security industry in the video surveillance room has become a necessity to ensure social stability and public safety.China's 2017 video surveillance market has reached 106.3 billion yuan, an increase of 10.5 percent over the same period last year. According to the forecast of the prospective Research Institute, the market will still maintain a growth rate of more than 10 percent in the future. At present, the video surveillance industry has reached a certain scale, but the product homogenization is serious, the market concentration tends to be more large professional equipment manufacturers, the price competition is fierce, relying on the cost advantage brought by the scale effect, the domestic Haekang, Dahua and other leading manufacturers market share gradually increased.


The application of infrared thermal imaging technology in the field of security mainly refers to infrared thermal imaging network camera, which is still dominated by traditional video surveillance leading enterprises.At present, Haekangwei has formed a more systematic product line, including various forms of cloud head, ball machine, monocular or binocular tube machine and other product series, can meet the needs of various monitoring environment. Domestic infrared thermal imager professional manufacturers, the current security camera research and development and sales of insufficient attention, security industry products are single, and did not form a professional infrared camera leading enterprises, market opportunities to erupt.

5 Applications in the medical field


Because the infrared band contains a large number of characteristic lines of biomolecules, infrared imaging can be used to diagnose human body.For example, the infrared thermal imager is used to measure the body temperature of a large number of people entering and leaving the country at the customs entry and exit quarantine port, and the patient is found in time according to the change of body temperature, which plays a great role in the period of SARS and avian influenza.


Medical infrared thermal imaging technology is a good supplement to structural imaging technology (B ultrasound, CT、 nuclear magnetic resonance). Many previous structural imaging techniques can not perform or later than the abnormal information of functional performance, but can be expressed by infrared thermal imaging technology. It is 6~12 months earlier than CT、 nuclear magnetic field in the detection of tumors. Infrared thermal imager was first successfully used in clinical practice in Britain in the last century, and has been widely used in medical field.Since the introduction of the first medical infrared thermal imager in 2001, China has been gradually applied in major hospitals in China.


According to KPMG (KPMG), research on the future of the medical device industry shows that the industry is expected to maintain stable growth.Global annual sales are projected to grow at more than 5% a year, Sales will reach nearly $800 billion by 2030. With the improvement of living standards and the increase of health care awareness, China's medical device market has maintained a rapid growth trend from 2014 to 2018.
