The global molded optics market continues to show strong growth owing to the rapid technological advancements and the ever-widening scope of applications. The global optical component market has shown a yearly growth of 10-12% in the past 5 years. Strong growth in consumption of optical components in recent years can be primarily attributed to the growing demand from communications markets, internet usage and digitalization of information infrastructure.

Owing to the rapid technological developments in material science, engineering design and tooling in the previous decade, plastic has now become common in the relatively larger scope of high-end optical applications, including fiber optics, biomedical devices, biometric scanning, and the displays and devices used in defense and homeland security. Molded optics have been extensively employed in disposable toys, diffraction-grating glasses and low-end film cameras due to their ease of high-volume and low-cost manufacturing. Laboratory instruments, LED illumination applications, LCD backlights, and small, portable, lightweight devices in a wide spectrum of markets will continue to witness the use of molded optics as a key enabling technology.

The U.S. represents the largest market worldwide. Asia-Pacific is forecast to emerge as the fastest-growing market with a CAGR of 33.4% over the next six years. Steady economic growth, growing construction and automotive sectors, and developing healthcare infrastructure, particularly in China and India are driving the market growth in the region.
