Global IR Optical Coating Service Market Growth (Status and Outlook) 2025-2031

According to this study, the global IR Optical Coating Service market size will reach US$ 10840 million by 2031.

Infrared optical coating service refers to the technical process of depositing single or multi-layer dielectric or metal films on the surface of infrared optical elements through physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and other processes to regulate their optical properties. This service aims to achieve anti-reflection, high reflection, spectroscopy or filtering effects for specific infrared bands (such as 3-5μm mid-wave infrared, 8-12μm long-wave infrared) by optimizing the refractive index, thickness and stacking structure of film materials (such as magnesium fluoride, zinc sulfide, germanium, etc.), thereby improving the transmittance, signal-to-noise ratio and environmental interference resistance of the optical system. For example, coating the surface of the thermal imager lens with a zinc sulfide-based multilayer anti-reflection film can reduce the surface reflection loss to less than 0.5%; and in the laser system, the use of a germanium-based high-reflection film can increase the reflectivity of the pump light to more than 99.9%.

At present, the infrared optical coating service market presents a trend of technology upgrading and demand expansion. The market scale continues to grow with the popularization of infrared technology, especially in the fields of security monitoring, medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, etc. The demand has surged. In 2022, the scale of China's infrared film market has reached 6.514 billion yuan. At the technical level, the product transmittance and stability will be significantly improved by improving the production process and improving the material performance, and the localization process of core technologies such as non-cooled infrared detector coating will be accelerated, reducing production costs and improving market competitiveness. In the competitive landscape, domestic companies such as Guide Infrared, Dali Technology, and Ruichuang Micronano have formed a multi-polar competition with international giants such as FLIR and DRS, and the industry concentration has gradually increased. In terms of policy support, the government has promoted the research and development and application of infrared optical coating technology through financial support, tax incentives and other measures. At the same time, the strengthening of environmental protection regulations has prompted companies to focus on green production and sustainable development. In the future, with the integration of technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, infrared optical coating services will evolve towards high precision and high sensitivity, and expand application scenarios in emerging fields such as smart homes and autonomous driving.
