Report Description
The terahertz technology market size was valued at USD 0.57 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 1.85 Billion by 2031 , expanding at a CAGR of around 14% during the forecast period, 2023 – 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to increasing deployment of terahertz system in semiconductor sector.
Terahertz waves are non-ionizing and can transfer through plastic, cardboard, skin, paper, and clothing, as well as ceramics and wood making them safe to use. They are also capable of penetrating fog and clouds, but not metal, concrete, or water. Terahertz waves exist somewhere between the optical and microwave spectrums, and they cannot be produced efficiently by scaling down optical sources like lasers or scaling up typical microwave sources like klystrons. Terahertz technology is used to identify explosives and drugs disguised in plastic pipes, as well as to recognize the unexpected flow of substances.
Terahertz Technology Market Trends, Drivers, Restraints, and Opportunities
-
Increasing demand for small, energy-efficient transceivers is projected to drive the market during the forecast period.
