LED light source to dominate collimating lens market during forecast period
Solid-state lighting fixtures/devices equipped with LEDs lamps are the most efficient source of white light of high-quality. The use of LED lighting systems can lead to five-times less energy consumption compared to that consumed by the collimating lens systems using conventional fluorescent lamps. This boosts the adoption of LEDs in light and display measurement, spectrometer, and automobile applications.
“Glass material to grow at highest CAGR for collimating lens market during the forecast period”
The glass segment holds a major share and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of the market during the forecast period. Higher the refractive index of material, more is the time taken by light to travels through it. Refractive index is the ratio of the speed of light in vacuum to its speed in the lens material. With the reduced speed of light, it gets refracted more while passing through the lens material. Glass materials have high refractive index ranges with greater density than plastic materials. Hence, greater density of glass material to drive demand for glass collimating lens market.
“Automobile end use to hold the largest share of the collimating lens market”
Automobile manufacturers constantly strive to make their products unique by differentiating their vehicles from those offered by their competitors. Automobile manufacturers are adopting advanced lighting technologies, such as LED and laser, for providing advanced headlamp technology to differentiate their product from other competitors, which helps drive the market. Hence, increasing penetration of LED headlamps for automobile provides opportunities for market.
“Collimating lens market in APAC is expected to grow at highest CAGR during forecast period”
APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for collimating lenses. In APAC, the automobile segment is playing a major role in the growth of the market. Increasing adoption of LED headlamps in various vehicles, from high-end to mid-range, in turn, provides opportunities for the market. Hence Asian countries, particularly China and India, are expected to offer significant growth opportunities to the manufacturers of collimating lenses.
