Market Dynamics
Intorduction
Photonics is the technology of light and its application in generating, manipulating, detecting, and transmitting light. It is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses physics, electrical engineering, computer science, and materials science. The application of photonics is everywhere, including in all areas from the most advanced science to everyday life, such as light detection, information processing, lighting, spectroscopy, photonic computing, telecommunications, and metrology, etc.
Market Drivers
The photonics market is rapidly growing, and new applications are being developed all the time. There are several reasons behind the growth of the global photonics market. Here are some -
- Increased demand for high-speed data communication: Photonics is widely used in data transmission over optical fibers, which is considered the backbone of modern telecommunications networks. As the demand for high-speed data communication continues to grow, the demand for photonics is also expected to grow.
- Growing adoption of fiber optic sensors: Fiber optic sensors are used in a wide range of applications including telecommunications, the oil and gas industry, medical imaging, and manufacturing. As the adoption of fiber optic sensors grows, the demand for photonics is also expected to grow.

- Development of new photonic technologies: Quantum photonics, metamaterials, biophotonics, holographic imaging, etc. are just a few of the many new photonic technologies that are being developed. For instance, in June 2023, the University of Rochester launched a new tool for generating microwave signals that could help propel advances in wireless communications, photonic technology, and more. Frequency combs are photonic devices that produce many equally spaced laser lines, each locked to a specific frequency to produce a comb-like structure. Such technologies have the potential to revolutionize many industries, and as they mature, the photonics industry will grow concurrently.
- Advancements in applications of photonics: Photonics is being used in a variety of new applications, such as 3D printing, medical diagnostic and energy harvesting, etc. As these new applications upgrade, the demand for photonics is also expected to grow. For instance, in October 2022, Nanoscribe introduced its latest 3D printer ‘Quantum X shape’, an ultra-precise 3D printer that offers alignment accuracies down to 100nm enabling the printer to print freeform optical elements directly onto optical fibers, photonic chips, etc.
