SNS Insider, a market research company, recently published a report on, "Photonics Market Size, Share & Segment by Type, by Application, by End User by Regions And Global Market Forecast 2024-2032". According to the report, the Photonics Market size was USD 910.70 billion in 2023 to USD 1642.58 billion by 2032 and grow at a CAGR of 6.83% over the forecast period of 2024-2032.

The demand for photonic devices is growing, and a positive trend is observed in lighting displays, photovoltaic systems, medical technology and life sciences, production technology, measurement and automated vision, and information and communication technology.  Lighting displays, and LEDs in particular, have, therefore, changed the sector, making it more efficient and providing longer lifecycles compared to traditional lights. Moreover, the demand for smart lighting systems has grown significantly recently, and the relative programs and efforts made at the governmental level also contribute greatly to the overall state of the market. 

Photonics is used in the combination of photovoltaic cells in the absorption of light and the conversion of the light more efficiently, leading to more power being generated. The science of photonics has additionally been employed in more intelligent solar tracking technologies, concentrating solar power technologies, and promising uses that include the development and application of new materials to enhance the absorption and exploitation of this energy. According to the Ontario International Development Agency, although the compounded annual growth rate for the optoelectronics market will be 3.4%, the green photonics market share will be very promising at 19.6%. This means out of the $493 billion that is expected to be generated as income as a result of the sales of optoelectronics components, $261 billion or 53% will belong to the green photonics sector by 2020. 

Photonics allows information to be transmitted much more efficiently than electronics, ensuring that the exponential increase in data traffic is not linearly converted into an exponential increase in power usage. Based on a study by Huawei from 2020, it is anticipated that by 2030, electricity consumption in the data center segment will expand nearly threefold. However, wireless access networks are expected to increase their power usage at an even quicker rate. It approximately quadrupled from 2020 to 2030. According to the report, consumer devices consume more power i.e. by 2020 it was 1039 TWh and it will increase by 2030 to 1073 TWh.

Segment Analysis
