With a projected growth rate of 5.5% over the course of the forecast period, the global optical glass market, which was valued at USD 1.68 billion in 2021, is projected to reach USD 2.51 billion by 2028
The optical glass market share has widened across the world as growing applications in medical devices such as surgical tools & diagnostics and therapeutics, which is anticipated to offer potential growth opportunities for the market. The properties of optical glass like transparent and can be used in technological, practical and decorative usages. There is higher adoption of it as it can be used as reinforcement material, aesthetic, environmental protection, container material, thermal insulator, building supplies, container material and for optical device systems. It has vast applications which is, using it as consumer optics because that allows more light to transmit through lenses or glasses with terminating reflection, thereby enhancing the clarity in vision.
The global optical glass market, based on geography, is segmented into Asia-Pacific, North America, LAMEA and Europe. Growing economic growth and higher disposable income have favored increased adoption of consumer electronics such as laptops, computers, TVs, TFT, smart phones, tablets, and LED screens in emerging countries such as China, Brazil and India, which propelled the demand for optical glass. According to the National Institution for Transforming India (NITI) Aayog, Government of India, the electronics equipment production of world in 2014 crossed millions, which escalated the demand for optical glass in semiconductor & electronics sector. However, the factor that may lower the market growth due to volatile price.
The global optical glass market is segmented in the basis of application, geography and type. On the basis of supply form, it is divided into round plate, prisms, plate, worked rod and others. On the grounds of product type, the global optical glass market splits into Colorless and Colored. Based on end user or applications, the global optical glass market is segmented into Consumer Optics, Medical & Biotech, Industrial Equipment, Semiconductors and Others.
