DUBLIN, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Collimating Lens Market by Light Source (LED and Laser), Material (Glass and Plastic), End Use (Automobile, Medical, LiDAR, Light and Display Measurement, and spectrometer), Wavelength, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The overall collimating lens market is expected to grow from USD 289 million in 2018 to USD 380 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.7%

Advantages of collimating lenses in various applications and benefits of using aspheric lenses over traditional spherical lenses in optics systems are the key factors driving the growth of the collimating lens market.

LED to dominate collimating lens market, based on light source, during forecast period

Solid-state lighting fixtures/devices equipped with LEDs lamps are the most efficient source of white light of high-quality. A collimator is an optical component that collects rays from the LED source and deflects these rays to make them parallel. A typical collimator may be constructed with a parabolic mirror or lens, and the LED source is positioned at its focal point. The LED source used in collimators comprises an array of LEDs. Further, an array of collimating lenses is applied to collimate the LED array output. The simulation results show that the optical component system design has a compact structure, high optical efficiency, and good uniformity. This results in less energy consumption by the proposed LED lighting system than the conventional fluorescent lamp light source. This boosts the adoption of LEDs in light and display measurement, spectrometer, and automobile applications.

In material type, market for glass is expected to grow at fastest rate during forecast period

The glass segment holds a major share of the collimating lens market. Glass materials have high refractive index ranges with greater density than plastic materials. Glass collimating lenses operate over a much broader temperature and humidity range without performance degradation due to which these lenses are often used in applications such medical, spectrometer, and light and display measurement.

Automobile to account for largest market size during forecast period

Automobile manufacturers constantly strive to make their products unique by differentiating their vehicles from those offered by their competitors. Many manufacturers are currently focused on providing headlights with different designs. Advancements in lighting technologies, such as LED, need for unique designs, and available light colors are the major factors allowing the manufacturers to create lighting assemblies with new looks. The automobile segment holds a major share of the collimating lens market in 2017.

There is an increasing demand for collimating lenses in the automobile segment owing to the rising adoption of LED headlamps in different types of vehicles. The market for LED headlamps is expanding from high-end to mid-range vehicles. Saving on energy costs was initially the primary driver for the adoption of LED headlamps; however, better light quality, longer lifespan's, and improved controllability have accelerated the growth of the LED headlamp market for the automobile segment. Hence, increasing penetration of LED headlamps for automobile provides growth opportunities for the collimating lens market.

Collimating lens market in APAC is expected to grow at highest CAGR

APAC is expected to be the fastest-growing market for collimating lenses. APAC is likely to provide ample opportunities to the providers of collimating lenses during the forecast period as all major OEMs have established their manufacturing units in this region. The rise in the production of automobiles is driving the collimating lens market growth in APAC. The growing preference for the vehicles equipped with LED headlamps boosts the sales and production of collimating lenses in this region.

LightPath Technologies, Inc. (US), Ocean Optics, Inc. (US), INGENERIC GmbH (Germany), TRIOPTICS GmbH (Germany), Avantes BV (Netherlands), Auer Lighting GmbH (Germany), IPG Photonics Corporation (US), Optikos Corporation (US), Optoelectronics Co. Ltd(UK), and Thorlabs, Inc. (US) are among a few major players in the collimating lens market. These players are increasingly undertaking mergers and acquisitions, and product launches to develop and introduce new technologies and products in the market.

Recent Developments

In January 2018, INGENERIC (Germany) launched a new collimation module called C-SMDB for single-mode diode bars. This helps exploit improved brightness and open up new fields of applications for laser manufacturers. The new arrays achieve high degrees of collimation as they are produced with the precision glass molding process. It is effectively double-sided as the entry side collimates the slow axis, and the exit side collimates the fast axis of the emitted light.
In April 2017, LightPath Technologies (US) signed a substantial contract from Renishaw Plc (UK). Engineers from LightPath and Renishaw collaborated to achieve the optimal balance of performance and cost for this unique application. LightPath's advanced precision glass molding expertise, along with proprietary coating design and technologies, enable a repeatable process that is scalable to high-volume production.
In March 2016, TRIOPTICS (Germany) developed TriAngle autocollimators with USB 3.0. These autocollimators are user-friendly and are known for their accuracy levels. Their modular design makes them compatible with a wide selection of objective tubes, different sensors, reticles, and light sources. The objective tubes of different focal lengths and apertures help find the optimum measurement solution regarding angle resolution and measurement range with ease.
