Market Overview:
The global neutral-density filters market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for neutral-density filters in camera and telescope applications. In addition, the growing demand for photography and videography services is also contributing to the growth of the global neutral-density filters market. The non-reflective type segment is expected to dominate the global neutral-density filters market during the forecast period. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2018 to 2030. The reflective type segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5% from 2018to 2030.
Product Definition:
Neutral-density filters are pieces of photographic equipment used to reduce the amount of light entering a camera. This is important in photography because it allows for greater control over the exposure time and aperture size, both of which affect the photograph's overall look.
Non-Reflective Type:
Non-reflective type is a neutral density filter that has no coating, pigment or dye. It does not transmit or reflect any light and hence it is also known as an optical filter. These filters are widely used in photography to reduce the amount of light reflected by the camera lens and therefore increase exposure time without flash synchronization.
Reflective Type:
Reflective type is a special type of glass that reflects the light back to source. It is used in making neutral-density filters, which are widely used in photography and video recording industry. The primary function of these filters is to reduce or eliminate the effect of flash during daylight photography by providing an even exposure across the entire image area. They also help in reducing contrast between objects and background, along with improving color accuracy for better results.
Application Insights:
The camera use segment dominated the global neutral-density filters market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The demand for ND filters is particularly high in this application as they are used to control the exposure by reducing the amount of light entering a lens. Camera manufacturers including Canon, Nikon, and Sony Corporation offer various types of neutral-density filters to their customers so that they can achieve better results while shooting videos or photographs using slow lenses or telephoto lenses.
The telescope use segment is expected to expand at a CAGR more than 11% from 2018 to 2030 owing to an increase in telescope sales coupled with technological advancements made by major optical companies including Meade Instruments USA, Ltd., Celestron Inc., and reflector telescopes such as Dobsonian telescopes manufactured by Orion Telescopes & Accessories which have larger objective lenses that require higher density filter products for greater brightness and coloration effects during daytime observations.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of Neutral-density filter manufacturers and research centers. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period, with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. This can be attributed to increasing use in imaging devices such as cameras and telescopes for recording images or observing celestial bodies simultaneously, thereby driving product demand across this region.
The European regional market followed North America in terms of revenue share, with France contributing significantly towards regional growth due to increased usage by professional photographers for studio shots and landscape photography purposes.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for Neutral-density Filters in the photography and cinematography industry.
- Rising adoption of Neutral-density Filters in the landscape and architectural photography sector.
- Growing use of Neutral-density Filters in the video production industry.
- Increasing demand for Neutral-density Filters from amateur photographers and videographers worldwide.
