Emerging Trends in Optical Ceramics Market

The market size of optical ceramics is estimated at USD 148 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 297 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 15%, between 2018 and 2023. The global optical ceramics market is driven by the increasing defense expenditure on advanced materials and technologies. Optical ceramics are used as a substitute for glass, metals, and plastics, which is boosting the market.

On the basis of material, the sapphire segment is estimated to lead the optical ceramics market during the forecast period.

Sapphire is the fastest-growing material for optical ceramics owing to the presence of a large number of manufacturers producing this material. Sapphire (single crystal aluminum oxide) is primarily used where standard glass and technical ceramics cannot meet the high transparency demand of specific applications. It possesses exceptional optical properties such as high ultraviolet and infrared optical characteristics, high wear & scratch resistance, and high thermal conductivity & co-efficiency of linear expansion, among others.

Sapphire is most widely preferred optical ceramics material owing to its easy availability, ease of manufacturing, and suitability for a wide range of optical applications. Demand for synthetic sapphire is gaining significant momentum for production of optical windows due to its excellent scratch-resistant properties and exceptional transparency to the wavelength of light. Innumerable properties of sapphire contribute to its wide use in the optical ceramics market.
