The global Optical Glass market size was valued at USD 1991.23 Million in 2022 and will reach USD 2918.36 Million in 2028, with a CAGR of 6.58% during 2022-2028.
The optical industry encompasses a wide range of applications that relate to the properties and motion of light. From lenses for eyeglasses and cameras to fiber optics, optical solutions are a constant part of daily life. Optical glass is a fundamental material used in many optical applications, including prisms, lasers, beam splitters, and other optical components. While it shares many of the characteristics of other types of glass, optical glass is manufactured using different chemicals to enhance properties that are useful specifically for optics applications. Optical glass may contain a variety of additives, such as boric oxide, lead, zinc oxide, fluorite, and barium oxide to enhance its ability to transmit light within certain wavelengths. Depending on the chemical composition of the glass, different wavelengths of light, both visible and invisible, can be absorbed, transmitted, or refracted to achieve the desirable optical effect for a given application. The two most common types of optical glass are flint glass and crown glass. Flint glass is produced using lead, while crown glass contains a higher level of potassium oxide. Optical glass is valued for its transparency, purity, and hardness compared to other types of glass.
