Optical Coatings Market to Garner Revenues Worth USD 19.0 Billion By 2021-2030

Pune, India, July, 2018 /press release/- Market Research Future Published a Cooked Research Report on Global Optical Coating Market Research Report.

The use of optical coatings to improve the transmission or reflection of light at the surface of an optic has increased the market’s size considerably in the past few years. The most common type of optical coating is an antireflection coating, which decreases unwanted reflections from surfaces and is used in an extensive range of applications comprising of photographic and ophthalmic lenses. The anti-reflection coatings are used on most of the refractive optics and are used to exploit throughput and decrease unwanted reflections. The optical coatings market share was valued at a global market value worth USD 12.6 billion during the historic forecast period that had ended in 2019. For the ongoing forecast period of 2021-2030, the optical coatings market is projected to reach USD 19.0 billion during the forecast period of 2021-2030, at a global CAGR of 8.5%.

Demand for optical add-on products in consumer electronics together with the intensifying usage of advanced technological automotive is anticipated to boost the market’s demand in the forecast period. Additionally, increasing demand for a cleaner source of power generation, particularly solar energy, is likely to deliver a lucrative opportunity to market participants. Increasing government investments in setting up solar plants to meet the increasing energy demand, chiefly in emerging economies, is anticipated to augment the growth.  Growing demand for products to improve light transmissivity in optic and laser industry along with escalating sales of a smartphone with better user interference is projected to drive the demand in the duration of the forecast period. Furthermore, growing application of optic coatings in laser systems for defense and medical is projected to augment the market growth further. Moreover, surging demand for vacuum deposition technology in medical equipment & devices and increasing need for a renewable source of energy, especially solar energy, are creating new opportunities for the optical coating market.

Owing to the superior properties and several optical coating techniques, electronics & telecommunication and automotive industries are major end use applications in the optical coatings market globally. Mounting sales of smartphone together with ultra-high definition TV sales are gaining impetus, driven by an upsurge in consumer awareness and new, lower priced models being launched in the market which will further propel the market’s growth in the forecast period.

Segmental Analysis

The optical coating market is segmented based on end-use industry, type, coating method, and coating material. On basis of end-use industry, the market is segmented into healthcare, automotive, electronics & telecommunication, aerospace & defense, solar, and others. Amid these end-use industry, the electronics & telecommunication is controlling the market with over one-third shares. On the basis of coating method, the market is segmented into sputter deposition (ion beam sputtering (IBS), vacuum deposition/ evaporative deposition (thermal evaporation, electron beam deposition/ electron beam evaporation), reactive sputtering,   ion assisted deposition (IAS), magnetron sputtering, plasma sputtering, gas flow sputtering), and others. The Vacuum Deposition/ Evaporative Deposition segment had accounted for the chief share of the market in 2017 and is projected to touch USD 3,833.7 million in revenue in the forecast period. The market is segmented on the basis on the type into beam-splitter coatings, anti-reflective coatings, filter coatings (short-pass & long-pass, notch filter, bandpass, others), electrochromic (EC) coatings, high reflective coatings, partial reflection coatings, transparent conductive coatings, and others. The anti-reflective coatings was leading the market in 2017, however the filter coatings segment is projected to grow at the maximum CAGR of 7.86 percent during the forecast period. The coating material segment of the market is segmented into dielectric materials and metallic materials. Among the coating materials, the metallic materials is attributed for the main market share, nonetheless during the forecast period dielectric materials is expected to develop at the highest CAGR of 7.57 percent.

Detailed

Regional Analysis 

The optical coating market covers regions such as Latin America, North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa.
