BCC analyzes the status of optical coating technologies & its global market in its latest report

摘要

A BCC study analyzed the status of global markets for optical coatings. Optical coatings may be devices, but more typically are a value-added feature of an optical element such as a lens or a digital display. Many elements are fabricated and coated in volume and thus have low prices and margins.Innovation is critical for revenue growth in the coatings industry. The markets with the highest margins and fastest growth for coatings are new apphcations, where coat-ings offer a new advantage, and areas where the coating designer and processor may have an advantage. Mass production of devices drives down prices and trims margins.
