Market Overview:
The global polarizing fibers 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 polarizing fibers in quantum optics, all-fiber polarizers, current sensors, fiber optic gyroscopes, coherent communications and other applications. North America is expected to hold the largest share of the global polarizing fibers market in 2018 followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. However, Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period owing to rising demand for optical components and devices in countries such as China and Japan.
Product Definition:
A polarizing fiber is a type of optical fiber that contains an internal refractive index gradient. This gradient causes the light passing through the fiber to be polarized. Polarizing fibers are used in many applications, including telecommunications, spectroscopy, and biomedical imaging.
Clad Diameter 80 µm:
Clad diameter 80 µm is a type of glass fiber that has been used in the manufacturing of optical fibers. Optical fibers are flexible transparent cables made up of many thin layers, these layers can be made from different materials such as silica and plastic. The choice of material for making the outermost layer depends on properties required by an application.
Clad Diameter 125 µm:
Clad diameter 125 µm is a type of glass wool, which has two prominent characteristics: it is very stiff and can be used as an insulator; and it has low electrical resistance. These characteristics make the product suitable for use in making optical fibers. The optical fibers made from glass wool have high transmission than silica-based or metal-based ones; hence they are widely used in long-distance telecommunication applications.
Application Insights:
Quantum optics application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growing demand for quantum-efficient optical components in a wide range of applications including telecommunications, solar panels, and LED light sources is expected to drive the growth of this segment.
The all-fiber polarizer application segment was valued at USD 718.3 million in 2017 owing to its rising use as an economical alternative compared with other types of optical filters on account of its low manufacturing cost coupled with high performance specifications. Moreover, increasing demand from end-use industries such as defense & aerospace are anticipated to propel industry growth over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to maintain its position over the forecast period owing to increasing research and development activities by various organizations in this region. In addition, growing adoption of fiber optic technology for communication purposes is also one of the major factors contributing toward regional growth.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the forecast period owing to rising demand from end-use industries such as electrical and electronics, automotive, aerospace & defense, healthcare & life sciences and others. Increasing penetration rate of internet connectivity through telecom services providers such as mobile phones and laptops are also driving industry expansion across this region. Moreover, an increase in government initiatives for establishing data centers by various companies due to better infrastructure facilities has further propelled industry growth across Asia Pacific since 2016’s year end until mid 2018’s quarter 2 (Q2).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from textile and apparel industry: The global textile and apparel industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% from 2016 to 2021. This will lead to an increase in the demand for polarizing fibers, which will in turn drive the growth of the market.
- Rising awareness about sun protection: With increasing awareness about the harmful effects of UV radiation, there is a growing demand for products that offer sun protection. Polarizing fibers are effective in blocking UV radiation, thus driving their adoption in sunscreen lotions, hats, sunglasses, and other products.
- Growing popularity of polarized sunglasses: Polarized sunglasses are becoming increasingly popular due to their ability to reduce glare and improve vision clarity under bright light conditions. This is driving the growth of the polarized fibers market as well as that of related industries such as eyewear and optics manufacturing companies worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions?
Polarizing fibers are made of two types of materials, one that is highly reflective and the other that is less reflective. When light passes through a polarized fiber, it is split into its constituent colors according to the orientation of the polarized material. This allows different parts of an image to be seen more clearly than if they were viewed without a polarized fiber.
Some of the major companies in the polarizing fibers market are iXblue Photonics, Thorlabs, AFL, Fibercore, OZ Optics.
The polarizing fibers market is expected to register a CAGR of 6.5%.
