The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services, and affecting many markets across the globe. The global nanophotonics market size is expected to grow to $77.99 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 33.1%. The increasing demand for optical fibers and other telecommunication devices is driving the growth of the nanophotonic market. Adding nanoparticles to the optical fibers has allowed latest and most advanced features like improved refractive index, sensing, computation. For instance, according to IEEE, a professional association for electronic engineering and electrical engineering, India has an optical fiber-based network reaching 28 lakh (100,000) kilometers, compared to the National Broadband Mission's goal of deploying 50 lakh kilometers of optical fiber by 2024. This means that the country still has scope to install more optical fiber with rise in population. Hence, the demand for optical fiber will drive the growth of the nanophotonic market. Major players in the nanophotonic market are Carbon Solutions, Cambrios Technologies, Catalytic Materials, Cnano Technology, Cree, LG Display, Nanocs, Nanocyl, Nanoco Technologies, nanoPHAB, Nanosys, Nanostructured & Amorphous Materials, OSRAM Opto Semiconductors, Philips Lumileds Lighting, QD Vision, Quantum Materials, TCL Display Technology, Sharp Corporation, Novaled GmbH, IBM Corporation. The innovative nanophotonic-enabled products is a key trend gaining popularity in the nanophotonic market. The demand for nanophotonic-enabled produces has increased in the past few years. Nanophotonic-enabled products include LES, OLEDs and others. These nanophotonic enabled products are also used in biotechnology, nanomedicine and also in optical diagnostics. For example, in January 2021, Thorlabs Inc., an American privately held optical equipment company, announced the product release to the SPDC810 product line that is expected to cater to the rapidly expanding quantum photonics field. High-intensity photon sources are important for quantum photonics in various applications, from basic photon-matter interactions to device characterization. Therefore, designers employ a fully integrated 405 nm pump source that is adjustable at the front end of a spontaneous parametric down conversion (SPDC) device to generate photon pairs above 450 kHz at 810 nm. In July 2020, Jenoptik, a German integrated photonics group acquired Trioptics for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is estimated to help the company consolidate its position in the photonics industry. Trioptics offers measuring and testing equipment for optical sensor and components.
