Optical Fiber Coatings Market to See Incredible Growth During 2026
Optical
fibers are used for transmitting the light. An optical fiber is a
transparent and flexible fiber which is drawn out of glass (silica)
or plastic. An optical fiber is very small in diameter. This fiber is
slightly thicker than the human hair strand. It can also be as thick
as the hair strand. Optical fibers have revolutionized the
telecommunication industry, due to their remarkable properties such
as ability of multiplexing several signals in a single fiber and
resistance to harsh environmental conditions. For use in high
temperatures, optical fibers need to be coated in order to avoid
damage. Primary and secondary coating layers need to be applied on
optical fibers to achieve properties such as low ink adhesion, fiber
friction and high modulus, high viscosity, high refractive index,
low-temperature micro-bending loss, delamination resistance,
long-term durability, and fiber strength.

Global
Optical Fiber Coatings Market: Overview
The
global medical fiber optics industry is expected to expand
significantly during the forecast period. This is likely to drive the
optical fiber coatings market, owing to the rising demand for
optically coated fibers in this industry. These fibers are used for
procedures involving endoscope placement, monitoring of movement of
tiny catheters, robotic surgeries, vascular procedures and detection,
bio-sensing, and precision biopsy. These procedures require invasive
equipment with high efficiency, accuracy, and precision.
The
rising demand for sensing cables or fiber optic sensors for measuring
strain, composition, and other parameters at high temperatures in the
oil & gas industry is driving the demand for specialty optical
fibers. This, in turn, is generating high demand for optically coated
fibers for sensing and EMI shielding applications at high
temperatures. In April 2017, Fibercore launched multimode (MM) and
single-mode (SM) optically coated fibers for use in continuous
distributed temperature sensing (DTS) to achieve constant thermal
monitoring of turbines.
Based
on fiber type, the optical fiber coatings market has been segmented
into silica optical fiber, glass optical fiber, plastic fiber, and
others. Based on type of coating, the market has been segregated into
transparent conductive coatings, anti-reflective coatings, protective
coatings, and others. In terms of manufacturing process, the market
has been divided into UV light curing, thermal curing, and others. In
terms of application, the optical fiber coatings market has been
classified into fiber optic communications, medical, aerospace &
defense, industrial networks, fiber sensing, oil & gas, and
others.
Global
Optical Fiber Coatings Market: Regional Outlook
In
terms of region, the global optical fiber coatings market has been
divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America and
Middle East & Africa. Asia Pacific dominated the global market
in 2017. Asia Pacific and Europe cumulatively accounted for more than
60% share of the global optical fiber coatings market in 2017. North
America is a mature market for optical fiber coatings, due to
presence of several manufacturers in the region. Oil & gas,
defense & aerospace industries in the above-mentioned regions are
expanding rapidly, due to the shift in government focus toward
sustainable development. Increasing focus on research activities and
use of advanced composites in harsh environments, without
compromising on mechanical properties, are making the optical fiber
coatings market in Asia Pacific highly attractive. The optical fiber
coatings market in North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific is
expected to expand at a rapid pace, while that in Latin America and
Middle East & Africa is projected to expand at a moderate pace
during the forecast period
