Infrared (IR), sometimes called infrared light, is electromagnetic radiation (EMR) with wavelengths longer than those of visible light. It is therefore invisible to the human eye. IR is generally understood to encompass wavelengths from around 1 milli-meter (300 GHz) to the nominal red edge of the visible spectrum, around 700 nano-meters (430 THz). Infrared Glass refers to allow infrared light to pass through the glass and reduce the loss of infrared light as much as possible. Because not all infrared light can easily pass through the glass. Near-infrared light can pass through glass like visible light, down to around 1.5µm. Glass absorbs around 3µm and above. Infrared glass materials include germanium, zinc selenide, zinc sulfur, magnesium fluoride, calcium fluoride, sapphire, chalcogenide glass, etc.
The global market for Infrared Glass is estimated to increase from US$ 173.5 million in 2021 to reach US$ 314.9 million by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 8.9% during 2022-2028. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine War, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use sectors. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Global key players of Infrared Glass include Umicore, LightPath Technologies and Schott, etc. Global top three manufacturers hold a share nearly 50%. Europe is the largest producer of Infrared Glass, followed by United States and China.
