Sales of thermography units rose by 426 per cent from 2019 to 2020, according to the European Photonics Industry Consortium. Chinese market share increased from 15 to 63 per cent
The effects of the pandemic were felt by Stemmer Imaging in the 2020 fiscal year, however, with revenue at €105.2m compared to €120.6m in 2019
Revenue for the company's Industrial Technologies unit was $1.16bn, an increase of 5.9 per cent compared to the prior year, largely because of demand for elevated skin temperature solutions
The firm generated €77.4m so far this year; third quarter revenue was €25.2m, 10 per cent above the previous quarter
Orders taken by the company have weakened over the second and third quarter of 2020, but the expectation is an improvement in Q4
