Anti Reflective (AR) Coatings - Worldwide

Anti Reflective (AR) Coatings Market Definition

The anti-reflective (AR) coatings market includes improving optics-related tasks by eliminating glare while allowing more light to pass through lenses, improving focus at work, in the classroom, around the house, and behind the wheel. This industry is growing because of the coatings’ ability to provide the performance and durability needed in military, commercial, medical, and business optical applications. Anti-reflective layers are designed for various substrates and are suitable for use in barcode scanners, autonomous vehicles, displays, cameras, fiber optics, lasers, illumination systems, rangefinders, instrumentation, microscopes, temperature sensors, and more.

As the demand in the anti-reflective (AR) coating market continues to grow, researchers and industry leaders are developing anti-reflective coatings and using them to improve the performance of solar panels and automobiles. With the help of new technologies, new systems have been designed to increase automobiles' efficiency and clean up dirt on the panels without using water or rainwater. These will help the anti-reflective coating grow in the coming years. Renewable energy generation is expected to grow to 710 GW over the next five years. 96% of this will come from solar and wind. Global renewable energy generation is expected to reach 430 GW in 2023-28, which increases the performance of anti-reflective coatings by 73% by 2022. PPG announced at the North American Battery Show that it will expand its portfolio of AR coating, adhesives, and sealants designed to address the changing challenges of the electric vehicle industry.
