Chemical & Materials Trending Optical Ceramics Market | Page 6

Industry Insights
❖On the basis of material, the optical ceramics market has been categorized into sapphire,
aluminum oxynitride, spinel, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAg), and others.
❖Sapphire is projected to be the fastest-growing segment of the optical ceramics market during the
forecast period, whereas yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) is the second-fastest growing by
material segment.
❖Yttrium aluminum garnet is witnessing increasing demand in emerging applications including gas
turbine engines, high intensity lamps, cathode ray tube, and manufacturing of lasers, which is
expected to drive its growth in the optical ceramics market.
❖The end-use industries of optical ceramics include optics & optoelectronics, aerospace and
defense & security, energy, and others (medical imaging).
❖The use of optical ceramics is increasing in the optics & optoelectronics segment as glasses &
halides, sulfides, and selenides, which are used as an alternative to ceramics materials that have
limited scope in this segment. Therefore, the demand for polycrystalline ceramics is increasing
owing to their superior mechanical and optical properties.
