On the other hand, one major restraint for the SWIR market is the high cost associated with SWIR cameras and related components. The initial investment required for acquiring SWIR cameras can be prohibitive for some end-users, especially small and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, the ongoing operational costs, including maintenance and calibration, can further add to the overall expenses, which may limit the market adoption of SWIR technology.

Another significant restraint for the SWIR market is the lack of standardization and interoperability among different SWIR camera manufacturers. The absence of common specifications and protocols can hinder the seamless integration of SWIR cameras with other imaging systems and software, leading to compatibility issues and performance inconsistencies. This challenge can pose difficulties for end-users in selecting and deploying SWIR cameras effectively, thereby impeding the market growth to some extent.
