Optical Coating Market: Trends, Challenges, and Opportunities

The global optical coating market size is expected to reach USD 37.58 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is estimated to be driven by the growing smart consumer electronics industry across the globe. The rising focus on electricity generation through clean sources is also expected to drive product demand. Consumer electronic devices include smartphones, tablets, phablets, smartwatches, and smart televisions. Rapid urbanization resulting in changes in consumer lifestyles is expected to create lucrative opportunities for smart consumer electronic devices. This is projected to lead to an increase in the utilization of optical coatings as they have a superior optical display and impact resistance properties.

Optical Coating Market Report Highlights

North America dominated the market and accounted for a revenue share of more than 37.0% in 2023

The anti-reflective coatings segment is the largest product segment and accounted for a revenue share of more than 29.0% in 2023. The growing demand for anti-reflective coatings from the solar industry is likely to fuel the market over the forecast period

The solar application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period. Rising demand for solar photovoltaic cells and emphasis on solar energy production in the Asia Pacific especially in countries including China, India, and Japan is anticipated to augment growth in market demand for optical coatings for the solar segment in the region

In April 2020, Alluxa, a US-based optical coatings and filters manufacturer, launched the Ultra Series qPCR filter for integration into medical equipment that performs COVID-19 testing of patient samples

The Asia Pacific is a major market for consumer electronics owing to the presence of a large number of key players. The demand in the region has shifted toward Southeast Asian countries, a trend that is likely to continue over the forecast period. However, the outbreak of highly contagious COVID-19 across the globe is severely affecting manufacturing industries, which, in turn, is anticipated to negatively impact the growth of the global optical coatings in various applications such as consumer electronics, automotive, and aerospace and defense, solar, and architecture. As COVID-19 continues to spread across the world, order cancellations and shipping complications are surging throughout the optical coatings industry.

The reflective coating segment is anticipated to progress at a substantial growth rate over the forecast period. A rise in the use of this product for roofing applications in the construction industry owing to factors such as prevention of direct exposure to sunlight on the roof and reduction in cooling cost is anticipated to propel the demand for reflective coating over the forecast period. There has been a rising demand for both commercial and passenger automobiles in emerging economies like South Africa, Mexico, Brazil, India, and China in light of improving standards of living and population growth. This is projected to benefit the automotive coatings industry, which in turn, is expected to propel the demand for optical coatings.

Furthermore, the increasing requirement for protection against dust, dirt, UV radiation, and harsh climate is anticipated to drive market growth in the coming years. Companies in the market experience fluctuating prices of raw materials, which are driven by factors such as changes in supplier feedstock costs, inventories, demand and supply factors, and government regulations. Therefore, manufacturers have been focusing on developing technologies for efficient coating at a low cost. In addition, key players are continuously engaged in the diversification of their existing product portfolio in order to cater to a large customer base, which ultimately enables a strong foothold in the global market.

Type C cavity drain membranes have been used throughout this large multi-level basement structure and as seen in the images, the scale of this project is impressive indeed. What is BS8102 and why do we work to this code? BS 8102:2009 Code of practice for protection of below ground structures against water from the ground BS 8102 gives recommendations and provides guidance on methods of dealing with and preventing the entry of water from surrounding ground into a structure below ground level. It covers the use of: a) Waterproofing barrier materials applied to the structure b) Structurally integral watertight construction c) Drained cavity construction. This prestigious waterproofing has the Wykamol BBA certifications. Keeping up to date with all relevant standards our membranes are not only waterproof they are also approved for Radon gas.

SilaCote Instant Liquid Waterproof Coatings

Moisture Triggered, Single Application Hydrophobic Instant Waterproof Liquid Membrane – Long Lasting Protection of New and Refurbished Flat Roofs, Balconies and Walkways - Perfect for UK Weather Conditions. What makes SilaCote different? SilaCote has high elongation and is highly flexible, however unlike most two-part roof coating systems it doesn’t contain any plasticizers (the substance that is added to a material to make it softer and more flexible). When exposed to UV (sunlight), plasticizers migrate and evaporate eventually leaving the coating brittle and prone to splitting. Adhesion values are second to none, once applied it provides instant waterproofing to any substrate (rainproof within 15 minutes). Unlike most coating systems where the adhesion value decreases over time and you could peel the membrane, SilaCote adhesion makes that impossible due to its polymer design. SEASILLY HAND APPLIED - SOLVENT FREE - NO PRIMER REQUIRED - NO TOP COAT REQUIRED, - 100% Aliphatic / UV Stable (No Colour Change) – UNLIMITED OVERCOAT TIME – USE ONLY WHAT YOU NEED / NO WASTE - 100% SOLIDS – LIGHT FOOT TRAFFIK 4 HOURS - SAVES MONEY ON MATERIALS AND LABOUR SilaCote - Non-Flammable and Non-Hazardous Coating Systems Fire Rating BS 476 part 3 test:- EXT.F.AA; EN 1187 test 4 – BROOF(t4) tested as a flat roof Addresses issues such as priming the substrate (no primer required), mixing errors (single component), over-coating window (there is none), waste (you can reseal the pot for the next job), upstand detailing (it adheres easily – no runs) and finally SilaCote does NOT have outgassing issues (bubbling).
