Transparent ceramics are polycrystalline materials that transmit light in the visible, mid-wave, and long-wave infrared (IR) wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum. They are produced using ultra-high purity powders via tightly controlled processes, such as high-pressure (HP), high-isostatic pressure (HIP), vacuum, and spark-plasma sintering (SPS). They offer strength, hardness, and high thermal and scratch-resistance as compared to traditional optical glass and resins. As a result, they find extensive applications in scintillator components, solid-state lasers, transparent armors, bulletproof glasses, and non-linear optics around the world.
Transparent Ceramics Market Trends:
The rising employment of transparent ceramics in the aerospace and defense industry across the globe represents one of the key factors driving the market. They are widely used in helicopter windows and optical domes due to their heat resistance, stiffness, and durability.
Moreover, the increasing demand for transparent armors to provide high-end and superior ballistic protection over glass laminates is propelling the growth of the market. In addition, there is a rise in the utilization of transparent ceramics in the construction industry to manufacture tiles, bricks, and pipes.
This, along with the augmenting use of transparent ceramics as a substitute for glass, metal, and plastics, is stimulating the growth of the market. Besides this, the rising application of transparent ceramics in the optoelectronics industry for manufacturing optical switches, laser systems, lenses, and infrared night vision devices is positively influencing the market.
Additionally, the increasing usage of infrared (IR) radiation, humidity, and temperature sensors worldwide are strengthening the market growth. Furthermore, several developments in ceramics to offer superior magneto-optic properties, illumination, and infrared (IR) lasing are projected to bolster the growth of the market.
