Global optical ceramics market is growing at a CAGR of 12.4% from 2021 to 2030
Optical ceramics are special industrial products used in laser windows used in restaurants, infrared radomes, and barcode scanners. Optical ceramics are translucent polycrystalline materials formed by ceramic manufacturing techniques that are used in place of single crystal scintillators. In addition, owing to its polycrystalline structure, it has properties such as high heat resistance, extraordinary strength, high rigidity, electrical insulation, and vibration resistance. Use of optical ceramics in manufacturing is designed to withstand harsh of civil and military aircraft engines, domes, and radomes, where increasing demand in the expanding aerospace and defense and energy industries is expected.
These ceramics are cheaper to manufacture compared to available alternatives in industries, which is expected to be a key factor in growth of the global optical ceramic market. In addition, the manufacturing process for producing single crystals is faster. In addition, innovation and increased use of optical ceramics over glass and metals are also expected to drive growth in global demand for optical ceramics. In addition, with development of image sensors, lamp devices, and laser transmitters, reaction speed of optical ceramics to infrared rays, optics, and ultraviolet rays may increase leading to rise in the global demand.
The global optical ceramics market is segmented into material, end use, and region. By material, the market is segregated into sapphire, aluminum oxynitride, spinel, yttrium aluminum garnet, and others. On the basis of end use, it is fragmented into optics & optoelectronics, aerospace & defense and security, energy, and others. Region wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
