INTRODUCTION

• STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
• This Research study analyzes the status of global
  markets for optical coatings. Optical coatings
  may be devices but more typically are a
  value-added feature of optical elements such as
  lenses, mirrors or flat-screen displays. Many
  elements are fabricated and coated in volume
  and, thus, have low prices and margins.
• Innovation and development of new coating
  applications are critical for revenue growth in
  the coatings industry. 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 can provide improved performance.
  Mass production of devices drives down prices and
  trims margins.
• Custom coating design opportunities support a
  fragmented industry. Consolidation remains an
  industry trend as better capitalized firms
  acquire smaller ones. Some manufacturers acquire
  coating technology to vertically integrate their
  product processing. Others contract with third
  parties to produce components. A further trend
  is high volume, low margin coating moving to
  Taiwan and China.

• Miniaturization in medical procedures offers
  opportunities for innovative coatings.
  Transportation applications are increasing as a
  greater number of vehicle models include cameras,
  displays and other optical systems. Growth in the
  telecom sector tracks the extension of fiber
  toward end users. Coatings for solar panels
  represent a growing market.
• Optical coatings are used in any application in
  which the wavelength of light must be precisely
  controlled. Coatings determine which wavelength
  of light are transmitted or reflected, which
  determines the resolution and quality of any
  display or projected image.
• This report provides a standard five-year
  planning cycle and revenue estimates through
  2021. It defines product segments for optical
  coating type categories, analyzes coating type
  options and determines current application
  markets as well as likely future opportunities.
  Additionally, this report defines and graphically
  analyzes these optical coating markets from many
  perspectives and categorizes and profiles the
  companies involved.

• REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
• Optics are essential in many commercial and
  consumer products, and optical coatings are a
  critical value-added technology in optics. Any
  component that influences the path of the light
  signal will be coated to improve performance.
  Optical communications are orders of magnitude
  faster than electronics as the amount of video
  and interaction increases on the internet, the
  need for maximum speed, possible only with
  optical technology, will increase.
• Flat screens for television, cell phones,
  computers other displays will continue to grow
  in size and application. Touchscreen technology
  will also become more ubiquitous. Optical
  components coatings are critical in flat panels
  and screens. Transparent conductors make the
  screens possible antireflection coatings
  improve brightness picture quality.
• Advances in antireflection coatings promise to
  increase the efficiency of solar panels by
  double digits. Lighting technology is in the
  midst of a major shift to environmentally
  friendlier technologies such as light emitting
  diodes (LEDs).

• In the medical and defense markets, the desire to
  be able to monitor and act remotely requires
  optics and optical coatings. In the medical
  market, optical fiber and associated technology
  permit physicians to operate less invasively. In
  the defense market, the rapidly expanding use of
  unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, has
  increased the need for optics capable of
  acquiring high-magnification and high-resolution
  images to provide accurate actionable
  information for pilots located at a remote
  position.
• SCOPE OF THE REPORT
• This Research report covers, with a critical eye,
  the global optical coatings marketplace. It
  focuses particularly on the markets and
  opportunities for optical coatings in the
  consumer electronics, solar, telecommunications,
  transportation, defense and medical markets.
• This study is presented in easy-to-follow
  sections that overview this subject define the
  technology segment the market by product type,
  application and region profile companies and
  identify suppliers. All dollar amounts are
  expressed in current 2015 U.S. dollars.

• Materials are segmented by oxide, fluoride, metal
  and other. Applications are divided into
  consumer electronics, architecture, solar,
  telecommunications, transportation, medical,
  defense/security and industrial.
• Individual applications are then further broken
  down for example, consumer electronics is then
  considered via AR coatings, reflective,
  conductive, filter and electrochromic.
• By region, the market is segmented into North
  America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the
  World.
• METHODOLOGY AND INFORMATION SOURCES
• Both primary and secondary research methodologies
  were used in preparing this report. Materials and
  data presented in this report were obtained from
  interviews with marketing and engineering
  personnel at the major companies profiled, as
  well as from catalogs, the internet, public
  filings and a literature search of current
  articles related to optical coatings technology.
