Good Stuff Happens in 1:1 Meetings: Why you need them and how to do them well
Optical coatings technologies and global markets
1. Optical Coatings: Technologies and Global Markets |
RnR
This BCC study analyzes the status of global markets for optical coatings. Optical
coatings may be devices, but more typically are a value-added feature of an optical
element such as a lens or a digital display. Many elements are fabricated and coated in
volume and thus have low prices and margins.Innovation is critical for revenue growth in
the coatings industry. The 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 may have an advantage. Mass production of devices
drives down prices and trims margins.
Custom coating design opportunities support a fragmented but consolidating industry.
The economic recession of 2007 to 2009 lead to larger, better capitalized firms buying
out smaller entities. The military market remains an important one for optics 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.
The miniaturization in medical procedures offers opportunities for innovative coatings.
The transportation applications are growing as vehicle designs include cameras, displays
and other optical systems. Growth in the telecom sector continues to be slow as the
extension of fiber toward the end user remains slow. Coatings for solar panels represent
a growing market.
