The global nanophotonics market size was valued at USD 13.80 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 28.76 Billion by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period 2023 - 2031. The growth of the market is attributed to the increasing adoption of nanophotonic components as these particles offer high thermal resistance, energy efficiency, and longer operational life.
Nanophotonics, also called nano-optics, is a key component of nanotechnology that facilitates the use of light in nanoscale projects and programs. Due to its favorable properties, these particles including metallic components are widely used in the manufacturing of consumer electronic products.
The electronic industry has been striving for minimization and integration of its products for a long time. With the introduction and widespread use of smartphones, the drive to attain better efficiency in the tiniest devices has acquired a new momentum, resulting in the high expansion of the nanophotonics market. Nanophotonics can be described as a discipline that combines three advanced fields of science: nanotechnology, photonics, and optoelectronics.
Nanophotonics is linked to several notable advances in the use of light in new technologies such as silicon-based semiconductors as they offer high speed and performance. Silicon chips that employ light instead of or in addition to the sorts of standard electrical signals used in semiconductor design represent a key discipline of nanophotonics. IBM, for example, has pioneered advancements in a device that sends signals in an integrated circuit environment using photodetectors and produced light.
While photonics and optoelectronics have transformed the electronics and semiconductors markets, nanotechnology has emerged as the most sought-after technology by large companies and academic institutions due to its enormous potential for future advancement. Nanophotonics has a lot of potential applications in technology and research such as solar energy, optical microscopy, bio-imaging, and optical communications. Quantum dots, nanowires, photonic crystals, and nanotubes are some examples of nanophotonics materials that are widely employed in the electronics industry. Electronic devices using nanophotic materials are able to offer effective functionality, increased battery life, and better data transmission.
