Impact Analysis of Covid-19
The complete version of the Report will include the impact of the COVID-19, and anticipated change on the future outlook of the industry, by taking into the account the political, economic, social, and technological parameters.
Optical coating is a deposition of thin layers of films that create interference effects in order to enhance reflection and transmission properties of an optical system. Optical coatings enhance optical functions and provide protection to optic from harsh environmental conditions. These coatings are produced by using rare earth materials, oxides, and metals.
The global optical coatings market is projected to reach around US$ 18,187.8 million by the end of 2027, in terms of revenue, growing at CAGR of 7.2% during the forecast period (2020-2027).
Drivers:
The escalating market of smartphones is a prime factor augmenting the market growth of the optical coatings. This is attributed to increasing penetration of the internet around the globe. International Telecommunication Union, estimates that at the end of 2019, 53.6 percent of the global population, or 4.1 billion people, are using the Internet. Thus, the growing penetration of smartphones around the globe is propelling the market growth of optical coatings.
