Optical Coatings Markets and Technologies

In 2012, the total global value for optical coatings was calculated to be more than $8.3 billion, and $9.1 billion in 2013. The total market is projected to be almost $13.9 billion by 2018, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% over the five-year period from 2013 to 2018.


New study “Optical Coatings: Technologies and Global Markets” analyzes the status of global markets for optical coatings. Optical coatings may be devices but more typically are a value-added feature of optical elements such as lenses, mirrors or flat-screen displays. Many elements are fabricated and coated in volume and, thus, have low prices and margins.


Innovation and development of new coating applications are critical for revenue growth in the coatings industry. Markets with the highest margins and fastest growth for coatings are new applications, where coatings offer a new advantage, and areas where the coating designer and processor can provide improved performance. Mass production of devices drives down prices and trims margins.


Custom coating design opportunities support a fragmented industry. Consolidation remains an industry trend as better capitalized firms acquire smaller ones. Some manufacturers acquire coating technology to vertically integrate their product processing. Others contract with third parties to produce components. A further trend is high volume, low margin coating moving to Taiwan and China. The military market remains important due to the advent of remote warfare means such as unmanned vehicles and robots. Machine vision optics for the semiconductor industry remains a high margin market with healthy growth.


Miniaturization in medical procedures offers opportunities for innovative coatings. Transportation applications are increasing as a greater number of vehicle models include cameras, displays and other optical systems. Growth in the telecom sector tracks the extension of fiber toward the end user. Coatings for solar panels represent a growing market.


This report considers market conditions and opportunities in regional areas around the globe. The report also considers the potential new high margin coatings applications that will emerge in the next five years.


Optical coatings are used in any application in which the wavelength of light must be precisely controlled. Coatings determine which wavelengths of light are transmitted or reflected, which determines the resolution and quality of any display or projected image.


This report provides a standard five-year planning cycle and revenue estimates through 2018. It defines product segments for optical coating technology categories, analyzes technology options and determines current application markets as well as likely future opportunities. Additionally, this report defines and graphically analyzes these optical coating markets from many perspectives and categorizes and profiles the companies involved.
