Also, the anti-reflective coatings find applications in solar industry, where they enhance the efficiency of the panels. The rising demand for renewable energy will fuel the demand for anti-reflective coatings market.

Increased focus on R&D

The optical coatings market is a technology-driven market, where vendors continually invest in finding more efficient coating techniques and processes. These innovations aid vendors in decreasing the operational costs, thereby increasing profit margins. Additionally, continued investments into innovation ensure a competitive edge to the vendors and a superior quality of service to the customers. The increased focus of vendors toward R&D of optical coating processes and products will impact the global optical coatings market positively.

Emerging applications of optical coatings

"The demand for optical coatings are increasing in various emerging applications. The advancements in the optical coatings has led to its use in medical applications such as diagnostics, treatment, and analysis, and in various instruments and optical devices such as optical spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy," says Ajay.

Advanced optical coatings are used to enhance the contrast in high-resolution display systems and provide a high level of protection from mechanical damage such as cracking to several electronic displays. Thus, the increase in the number of new applications of optical coatings in their end-use sectors will continue to drive market growth over the forecast period.
