Nanophotonics Market Trends




  • Rising demand for various communication technologies is driving the market growth




The market for nanophotonics is expanding due to the rising demand for various communication technologies, such as optical fibers. Innovative and cutting-edge characteristics including enhanced sensing, refractive index, and computation have been made possible by the addition of nanoparticles to optical fibers. In contrast to the National Broadband Mission's objective of deploying 50 lakh kilometers of optical fiber by 2024, India's optical fiber-based network has reached 28 lakh (100,000) kilometers, according to IEEE, a professional association for electronic and electrical engineering. Hence, there is still room for the nation to add more optical fiber as its population grows. Therefore, the need for optical fiber will propel the market for nanophotonics to rise.


The broad acceptance of nanophotonics for applications in electronic engineering, communication, biotechnology, defense, and solar power conversion is the primary driver of the worldwide nanophotonics market. The growing market is also being driven by the growing use of LEDs in consumer gadgets. Solid-state lighting with high thermal conductivity and variable rate is provided by nanophotonics, enhancing the methods' operational efficacy and the quality of the light emitted. In addition, manufacturers of nanophotonic devices are combining transistors and small-scale power circuits onto a single chip to achieve higher bandwidth and faster data transfer rates. This makes it possible for nanophotonic integrated circuits (ICs) to establish direct light-based connections with other devices.


Novel goods enabled by nanophotonics are a major trend that is becoming more and more well-liked in the nanophotonic industry. In the last several years, there has been a rise in demand for products with nanophotonic capabilities. Products with nanophotonic capabilities include OLEDs, LES, and others. Moreover, optical diagnostics, nanomedicine, and biotechnology employ these goods with nanophotonic capabilities. For instance, American privately held optical equipment manufacturer Thorlabs Inc. announced in January 2021 the launching of the SPDC810 product line, which is anticipated to serve the quickly growing quantum photonics market. High intensity photon sources are essential to quantum photonics for several purposes such as basic photon-matter interactions and device characterisation. A completely integrated and controllable 405 nm pump source is used at the front end of a spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) device by designers to generate photon pairs over 450 kHz at 810 nm. Thus, driving the nanophotonics market revenue.
