The transparent ceramics market was valued at USD 219.2 million in 2016 and is projected to reach USD 698.1 million by 2022, at a CAGR of 21.3% between 2017 and 2022. Transparent ceramics are used in several applications such as thermography, laser interferometers, temperature (IR) sensors, optical fiber communications, cutting tools, and so on. They are increasingly replacing metals and plastics in applications where resistance to high temperatures and harsh chemical conditions is required, owing to their superior mechanical properties and high mechanical strength.CoorsTek Inc. (U.S.), Surmet Corporation (U.S.), Schott AG (Germany), and II-VI Optical Systems (U.S.), CILAS (France), Brightcrystals Technology Inc. (China), and CeramTec-ETEC GmbH (Germany) are some of the leading players in this market.
