The global optical film market was valued at $20.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $40.4 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.6% from 2022 to 2030.
COVID-19 has a negative impact on optical film sales due to the destruction of businesses all over the world. In addition, due to a lack of manpower and a disrupted supply chain, advanced materials sectors were severely damaged by the COVID-19 epidemic lockdown, and saw a significant drop in sales and production in 2021.
Optical films are thin films or coatings used to enhance the reflection, polarization, and transmission of various optical systems such as projection screens, mirrors, reflecting prisms, fiber-optic bundles, dispersing devices, and others. There are different types of optical films in terms of materials, refractive index, and thickness. In addition to this, there are three most common types of optical films: polarizing film, backlight module, and ITO films.
Optical films have various applications such as in TFTs (thin film transistors), LCD (liquid crystal display) panels, and OLED (organic light emitting diode) panels. Furthermore, optical films are used in desktop monitors & laptops, smartphones & tablets, television, and other large displays. Higher requirement of optical films in LCDs and LEDs among manufacturers are some of the key aspects increasing the adoption of optical films. The report highlights different factors that impact the growth of the global market such as key drivers, restraints, growth opportunities, and the role of different key players.
The global optical films market is segmented on the basis of type and application. By type, the market is classified into polarizing film, ITO film, and backlight unit film. By application market is classified into television, smartphones & tablets, desktop monitors & laptops, large format display and others. By region, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.
The key players profiled in this report include LG Chem, Ltd., Samsung SDI, 3M, Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd., Zeon Corporation, Kolon Industries Inc., Nitto Denko Corporation, Toray Industries Inc., Sanritz Co., Ltd., and Hyosung Chemical.
The optical film market is segmented into By Type and By Application.
By type, the polarizing film sub-segment dominated the global optical films market in 2021, and it is projected to remain the fastest-growing sub-segment during the forecast period. This is attributed to rise in demand for polarized films in high quality display because it shows the clear image on screen. In addition to this, polarizing films are used in displays for controlling the amount of light that is reflected from the display screen. Also, polarizing films reduce the haze caused by atmosphere. Therefore, images taken by polarizing filter have high contrast and richer colors.
By application, the television sub-segment dominated the global optical films market in 2021 and is projected to remain the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period. This is attributed to high utilization of optical films in manufacturing of LEDs and LCDs which, in turn is one of the most supporting reasons for the growth of the optical film market size.
By region, Asia-Pacific dominated the global optical films market in 2021 and is forecasted to remain the fastest growing region during the forecast period. This is attributed to numerous factors such as largest production of optical films in China and Japan and wide consumer base.
