By type the India Photonics Market is segmented into Photovoltaics, Biophotonics, Displays, optical components and others. Optical components are witnessing significant growth in the market at 8.9% through 2026 owing to the wide use of optical fibers for communications in the field of telecommunications. Fiber optic cables carry information between two places using only light-based technology. A single fiber optic cable is responsible for several million calls across the globe. Apart from telecommunication industry, optical fibers had large applications in  medical sector as it is used for light guides, imaging tools and others. Traditional copper cables are replaced by optical fibers owing to their large bandwidth and improved data communication speed over large distances. Furthermore, fiber optics is used as hydrophones foe seismic and SONAR, aircrafts, submarines and other underwater applications aiding the growth of the market.

By End Users the market is segmented into Telecommunications, Consumer Electronics, Energy sector, Automotive, Industrial and others. Consumer Electronics is dominating the market at 24.3% share in 2020. The growing use of photonics in sensors, solar power LED street lighting, mobile home theater headset and others are aiding the growth of photonics in consumer electronics. Photonics are used in manufacturing of high resolution flat-panel displays and cameras along with smart phones, television and others. Companies are focusing on innovations in laser technologies for manufacturing of these sophisticated and high resolution devices using these technologies. In the recent days ultrafast lasers are used to provide these facilities in manufacturing. The leading LED technology revolutions are also influencing the market growth. Furthermore, the developments of organic LEDs and active –matrix organic LEDs offer superior overall image quality, power efficiency and weight at lower manufacturing costs. These factors are propelling the significant growth of the market. 

In India there is growing need of photonics technology in the healthcare sector owing to the country’s rising population along with industrial sectors. In the healthcare sector the growing use of laser technology in cancer treatment, eye surgeries and others are boosting the growth of the market. Futhermore,  Laser technology is widely used in the healthcare sector for removing stones during the surgery in kidney, in eye surgeries to repair the detached retina, for shrinking the tumor size in cancer therapy. Laser is also used for cosmetic surgery.

The rising use of photonics in various end use industries owing to its wide range of applications is projected to propel the growth of the market. The rise in use of fiber optics in media and broadcasting along with telecommunication for fast and better communications are driving the growth of the market. Fiber optics are  widely use in military and defense for safe and secure communications. Furthermore, surge in adoption of photonic technology in form of sensors, lasers, optical fiber and others are also fueling the growth of the market.

In India many of the end user industries are using electrical systems instead of fiber optics owing to the high cost of transmitters and receivers of the optical fiber. Lack of standardization of many industries has also limited the use of optical fiber in India. Since India is a developing country there is lack of educated technicians for deploying optical fibers in the industries hindering the growth of the market.
