Product Definition:
An optical transparent ceramic is a ceramic material with a high degree of transparency to visible and infrared radiation. This allows it to be used in windows and lenses for sensors, telescopes, and other optical equipment.
Sapphire:
Sapphire is a mineral, which occurs in many colors such as blue, transparent and colorless. It has a hardness of 9 on Moh's scale next to diamond. The gemstones called sapphire are not true sapphire but rather glass made from silica-based materials. Gemstones are grown inside the controlled environment of laboratories where the optimum temperature and humidity conditions are created for the growth of gemstones.
Aluminum Oxynitride:
Aluminum oxynitride is a transparent ceramic material with high refractive index. It has low thermal expansion, good mechanical strength and excellent chemical resistance. Aluminum oxynitride finds application in the fabrication of optical transparent ceramics for use in windows, lenses and displays as well as photovoltaic (PV) cells.
Application Insights:
The optics and optoelectronics application segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017. The growth is attributed to increasing demand from various end-use industries such as electronics, telecommunications, and photonics. Optical transparent ceramics are used in the production of lenses, mirrors, optical coatings, spectacles/glasses (active and passive), solar panels (active & passive), displays (LCDs & OLEDs) smartphones/tablets etc.
The product usage also extends to other applications such as aerospace and defense where it is used for manufacturing aircraft windows that offer high strength at a low weight ratio; radars; missile defense systems; precision targeting systems; thermal imaging devices etc.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in terms of revenue share in 2016. The growth can be attributed to the presence of major optical transparent ceramics manufacturers such as Corning Incorporated, Nippon Electric Glass Co., Ltd., and Schott AG. These companies are engaged in manufacturing glass substrates for light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, and other optoelectronic devices used across a broad range of industries including automotive, consumer electronics, energy & power, etc.
Asia Pacific is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to rising demand from end-use industries such as aerospace & defense and industrial applications due to increasing per capita income levels coupled with rapid urbanization trends observed across emerging economies including China and India. In addition, growing investments by regional governments towards infrastructure development activities are anticipated to fuel industry expansion over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for optical transparent ceramics from the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries for use in LED lighting, lasers, and other optical devices.
- Growing demand for transparent ceramics in medical applications such as endoscopes and implantable medical devices.
- Rising demand from the automotive industry for transparent ceramic windshields and headlights.
- Increasing use of transparent ceramics in consumer electronics products such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.
