Optical Coatings: A Global Strategic Business Report
San Jose, California (PRWEB) September 24, 2014
Follow us on LinkedIn – Defined as thin layers of materials applied on substrates for enhancing optical performance, optical coatings find use in the manufacture of flat-screen displays and lenses. Surging demand for consumer electronic devices especially smartphones are driving growth in the market, as optical coatings are used in flat screen displays of these products to deliver increased display protection, maximum performance, and yield superior esthetics. The transition to LED lighting is also expected to augur well for the market, as optical coatings are increasingly being used in LEDs to help improve performance. Also, demand from specialized application areas such as Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) and the optoelectronics sector is anticipated to encourage gains in the market.
Opportunities for growth also exist in the architecture sector, backed by the recovery in the construction industry worldwide. Growing government focus on developing renewable energy sources in the wake of rising energy crisis, and resultant investment in solar /photovoltaic modules, is fostering demand for optical coatings. In addition, usage of optical coatings will continue to grow in the military and defense sector, thanks to steady rise in investments. Growing prominence of fiber-optics technologies in various medical devices for effective diagnosis, monitoring as well as treatment, is buoying adoption of optical coatings in the medical field. Increasing focus on minimally invasive techniques for surgery and adoption of miniature devices, are benefitting demand for innovative coatings. Also driving growth is the increasing penetration of laser systems and ophthalmic lenses. Rising demand for automobiles, particularly in the developing markets, wherein optical coatings are used in displays on vehicle dashboards, also augurs well for the market.
The telecommunications sector is also spurring growth opportunities, thanks to growing demand for fiber optic components. Anti-reflection coatings offer significant durability and adhesion for optical fibers used in this sector. Escalating demand for infrastructure that is energy efficient is also driving the market for antireflection coatings. High quality nanostructure-based antireflection coatings are under development for enhancing the performance of EO/IR sensors and photovoltaic modules.
