New York, June 21, 2019 – According to the current analysis of Reports and Data, the global Optical Ceramics market was valued at USD 148 Million in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 552.3 Million by year 2026, at a CAGR of 15.3 %. The study the genre of advanced materials with focus on Optical Ceramics. Optical Ceramics are one of the types of Transparent Ceramics. They are transparent polycrystalline materials that can be used as an alternative to single crystals scintillators. Polycrystalline materials are solids that are comprised of a collection of crystallites (grains), separated from another by areas of relative disorder known as grain boundaries. Optical ceramics are advanced industrial materials that have been developed for use in optical applications. The advantage of optical ceramics is the possibility of production of reasonably priced and large sized materials for large area detection. They derive their utility from their response to infrared, optical and ultraviolet light. Optical Ceramics are made of several types of materials. Each of this type is meant for a specific and a unique purpose. For instance, optical ceramics made from Spinel are optically transparent from near-ultraviolet through mid-wave infrared frequencies. On the other hand, optical ceramics made from Sapphire are optically transparent from near-ultraviolet through mid-wave infrared frequencies with mid-IR transmittance comparable to that of Sapphire itself. The optical ceramics market growth is attributed to the increasing use of optical ceramics in aerospace industry and in defense and security industry.
