Due to the increasing demand for optical ceramics in medical applications and the need to minimize the cost of production by deploying optical ceramics in high-temperature applications, the optical ceramics market is experiencing considerable growth. The optical ceramics industry has been divided into sapphire, aluminum oxynitride, spinel, yttrium aluminum garnet (YAg) and others on the basis of materials. During the forecast period, Sapphire is expected to be the fastest growing segment of the optical ceramics industry, while yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) is the second fastest growing segment in the material segment. In new applications such as gas turbine engines, high-intensity lamps, cathode ray tubes and laser processing, Yttrium aluminium garnet is seeing growing demand, which is expected to fuel its development in the optical ceramics industry.

The optical ceramics end-use industries include optics & optoelectronics, aerospace & defense & security, energy, and others (medical imaging). In the optics & optoelectronics segment, the use of optical ceramics is growing as glasses & halides, sulphides, and selenides are used as an alternative to ceramic products that have limited reach in this segment. Therefore, owing to their superior mechanical and optical properties, the market for polycrystalline ceramics is growing.

While the largest market share was accounted for by optics & optoelectronics in 2017 and is projected to be the fastest-growing segment during the forecast era, the aerospace, defense & security application segment is likely to have considerable growth opportunities. The technical developments and inventions in defense & protection equipment such as body armors & helmets and vehicles & aircraft are contributed to this development.
