Market Overview:

The global optical coatings market size reached US$ 13.7 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach a value of US$ 21.5 Billion by 2027 exhibiting a CAGR of 7.50% during 2022-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Optical coatings are a combination of thin-film layers that create an interference effect to enhance transmission and reflection properties in an optical system. They are designed for a specific incident angle and polarization of light, such as S-polarized, P-polarized, and random polarization. They control the reflection and transmission of light through optical interference. As they reduce ghosting and maximize reflectance in a broad range of wavelengths, optical coatings find extensive applications in rain sensors, headlight lens systems, lighting reflectors, rear view mirrors, motion detectors, and camera systems across the globe.

Optical Coatings Market Trends:

There is a rise in the utilization of optical coatings to withstand high-temperature gradients and high rates of heat transfer in rapid thermal processing. This, along with the burgeoning electronics and semiconductor industry, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, the escalating demand for advanced automotive electronics systems for a safe and convenient drive is stimulating the growth of the market. In addition, there is an increase in the employment of optical coatings in green buildings for heat retention and reducing energy consumption. This, coupled with the rising sales of portable consumer electronics around the world, is positively influencing the market. Besides this, the increasing use of anti-reflective (AR) products in constructing photovoltaic (PV) panels, automotive displays, windows, and global positioning systems (GPS) worldwide is offering lucrative growth opportunities to end-users. Furthermore, key market players are focusing on new product development, merger and acquisition (M&A), and collaboration to positively influence their overall profitability. Other growth-inducing factors are the development of alternate energy sources and considerable investments in solar energy generation by governments of several countries.
