Optical Coating Market Size and Forecasts (2021 - 2031), Global and Regional Share, Trends, and Growth Opportunity Analysis

The optical coatings market is expected to grow from US$ 13.38 billion in 2022 to US$ 22.40 billion by 2031, with an estimated CAGR of 9.0% from 2022 to 2031.

An optical coating is made of a combination of thin film layers that create interference effects to enhance transmission or reflection properties within an optical system. An optical coating is composed of a blend of thin layers of materials such as metals, rare earth materials, or oxides. The performance of an optical coating is dependent upon the number of layers, the thickness of the individual layers, and the refractive index difference at the layer interfaces. They are integral in almost every optical instrument, from eyeglasses and telescopes to simple or complex mirrors.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Optical coatings are used in many electronic applications where light must travel through optical surfaces. Optical antireflective coatings are used on tablet and cell phone screens for various purposes, including making text easier to read in daylight. These coatings are used on the semiconductor diode lasers' facets. Since the Internet of Things (IoT) is becoming more prevalent across a wide range of industries, the demand for semiconductors has proliferated in recent years. These factors are propelling the growth of the optical coatings market.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected many industries. The imposition of the lockdown temporarily discontinued various manufacturing activities, resulting in a decrease in supply, which substantially impacted the optical coatings market. Transportation, manufacturing, oil & gas, automobiles, and energy industries saw a prolonged shutdown, causing a dramatic decline in the global demand for optical coatings. The electronics & semiconductor industry is among the drastically affected industries due to its reliance on the severely hit China and other Asian countries. Segments in this industry, such as consumer electronics, consumer goods, and automotive, were at high risk. In contrast, other segments, including cloud-computing data centers, communication & connectivity technology, and healthcare, remained unaffected. However, during the pandemic, the demand for medical devices increased, which boosted the need for optical coatings.

Furthermore, the economies started reviving their operations in 2021. The growing adoption of 5G technology is increasing the demand for electronic devices such as 5G modems, 5G routers, MIMO antenna, 5G New Radio (5GNR), C-RAN units, multichannel highly integrated RF transceivers, and voltage-controlled crystal oscillators (VCXOs). Moreover, the requirement for enhanced memory and storage is expected to increase demand for microchips. That opens up an unprecedented opportunity for semiconductor businesses. Thus, the increased demand from the electronics & semiconductor industry is expected to boost the growth of the optical coatings market. Additionally, the increasing production of automobiles, solar power, medical, and consumer goods industries in Europe, the US, and Asia Pacific is expected to create opportunities for optical coatings.
