Infrared detectors are used as motion detectors since decades in our daily life for lighting controls and alarms. This business is very important in terms of volume with 150 million units sold in 2010, but the price of the detectors is very low (less than $1).
Even if this motion detector business is mature, it will continue to grow at a significant rate (CAGR 2010-2016 in value: + 9 %) driven by the concern for energy savings. In the coming years it will be increasingly used to switch off/on automatically lighting and appliances such as HVAC, TVs, appliances.
Another common use of infrared detectors is for non-contact temperature measurement for applications like human ear thermometer, or industrial pyrometers. IR detectors can also be used to detect gas, fire or to analyze materials. For those applications, the detector price can vary very much from single dollars to tens of dollars each. Here also, the business is growing driven by interest in IR detection: very robust non-contact measurement with a long lifetime.

Large MEMS manufacturers are entering the IR detector business in 2011: Texas Instruments, Omron, Panasonic, Hamamatsu. These companies who have substantial revenues and resources, have developed thermopile detectors which are processed on their MEMS large production line (6 to 8’’). In that position, they have very competitive production costs that will provide access to new applications. For instance Texas Instruments target temperature measurement function for portable consumer electronic applications (notebook, tablet).
