Driving Forces for the Development of Anti-Reflective Coatings Market

Silicon-based coatings have been the most commonly used material for anti-reflective coatings due to their compatibility with substrates such as glass, polymer, and metals. Due to their minimal angular dependency on reflectance, they are ideally used as a raw material for anti-reflective coatings. Furthermore, the usage of silicon-based anti-reflective coatings helps in bringing down the manufacturing cost of anti-reflective coatings due to their low price and non-toxic nature. Various types of silicon-based materials, such as silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and porous silicon, are used in anti-reflective coatings.

The single-layer coating is a thin, homogenous layer of anti-reflective coating whose refractive index is close to the geometric mean value of the two-adjacent medium's refractive index. The single-layer anti-reflective coatings are used primarily for a moderate suppression of reflectance at normal incidences. Significant applications of single-layer anti-reflective coating are found in light-emitting diodes, photodiodes, and solar applications.

Vacuum deposition coatings are used for various applications in automotive, consumer goods, and the building and construction industry. In the vacuum deposition coating process, a thin layer of coating is deposited on the surface of products by condensation method, which helps in increasing the wear and corrosion resistance of the coatings applied. Techniques such as sputtering, electron beam, ion plating, and arc deposition are used for the deposition of anti-reflective coatings on the glass surfaces.

Anti-reflective coating, when used in solar glasses, helps in increasing the efficiency by reducing the reflectance of sunlight. This reduced reflectance enables high absorption of sunlight, thereby resulting in the improved generation of electrical energy. Also, the anti-reflective coating helps improve the transmittance of light, further enhancing the efficiency of the solar photovoltaic (PV) module. Moreover, anti-reflective coating in solar glasses helps in delivering an additional power conversion, hence increasing the production of renewable energy sources.

The demand for anti-reflective coatings is mainly attributed to the increasing production of displays and lenses used in manufacturing consumer goods, such as smartphones, television, monitors, wearables, and tablets. Wearables, including smartwatches and lenses, are estimated to be growing at the highest rate among consumer goods during the forecast period. Due to their property of reducing excessive sunlight and clearing the weaver's view, the increase in the market penetration of anti-reflective lenses has increased the consumption of anti-reflective coatings in the lens application.

During the forecast period 2019-2029, the solar segment is expected to be the largest application area for this market. The demand for anti-reflective coatings in the solar application is attributed to their ability to increase the energy capturing capacity of the solar glass, thereby increasing the performance of the solar glass. The consumer goods application is estimated to be the second-largest application segment in terms of volume.
