The market size of optical ceramics is estimated at USD 148 million in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 297 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 15%, between 2018 and 2023. The global optical ceramics market is driven by the increasing defense expenditure on advanced materials and technologies. Optical ceramics are used as a substitute for glass, metals, and plastics, which is boosting the market.
Optical ceramics are defined as transparent or translucent polycrystalline ceramics that are used in optical applications. They derive their effectiveness from their reaction to infrared, optical, and ultraviolet light. The use of optical ceramics, as an essential material in the production of optical components, in optoelectronics, and aerospace and defense & security industries is increasing significantly.
The key players in the optical ceramics market include Surmet Corporation (US), CeramTec (Germany), II-VI Optical Systems (US), Schott AG (Germany), CeraNova (US), CoorsTek (US), Kyocera (Japan), Saint- Gobain (France), Konoshima Chemicals (Japan), and Murata Manufacturing (Japan).
