Liquid Light Guides Market

Liquid Light Guides Market Outlook

The Liquid Light Guides market is anticipated to grow at a steadily CAGR of 10% during the forecast period 2021-2031. Liquid light guides are largely used in various applications like UV curing systems and fluorescence microscopy owing to its high transmission (220 - 2000 nm) range.

Liquid light guides are most economical and powerful instrument that transmits light with great intensity. It is basically similar to fiber optic cables and bundles. Liquid light guides are made of silica fiber bundles to deliver light with much greater intensity to the target object. Owing to significant advantages like flexible and unbreakable, competitively priced and highest transmission quality offered by liquid light guides, its demand is expected to increase, during the forecast period.

What is Driving Demand for Liquid Light Guides?

The adoption of liquid light guides is largely increased, due to an increase in need for light guides with high transmission capabilities, and owing to this, the growth can be seen in UV curing systems, fluorescence microscopy, forensic Illumination and other applications.

In addition, the technology is offering advantages like transmitting no infrared radiation, excellent cold light properties, no danger of individual fiber breakup and others. These factors are driving the liquid light guides sales, across various applications.

The rising application of liquid light guides in wafer manufacturing, UV fluorescence inspection, visible and near infrared illumination and others, is anticipated to further drive the demand of liquid light guides. Moreover, unique features of liquid light guides such as availability in from single to four pole configurations, large aperture about twice the size of silica fiber light guides and others are some of the major dynamics propelling the demand for liquid light guides.

Scientific and Forensic Laboratories to Proliferate Liquid Light Guides Demand

There has been an increase in application of liquid light guides in scientific and forensic laboratories to deliver robust performance. These liquid light guides are used in laboratories for features like 300-700nm wavelength, with numerical aperture 0.513, > 80% transmission at 365nm, 3mm and 5mm cores availability, 1m, 1.5m, 2m lengths, and various others parameters. Liquid light guides meet the demand of greater numerical aperture (NA) to gather more coupled input light than glass or quartz fiber bundles more efficiently. It gives the perfect solutions for scientific and forensic laboratories applications that demand uniform, high-intensity light, when compared with other traditional fiber optic cables and bundles.

Furthermore, liquid light guide like transmitting zero infrared radiation and have large aperture, due to which they are increasingly used in scientific laboratories. Hence the increased adoption of liquid light adoption in scientific and forensic laboratories is expected to create more opportunities, in the coming years.

North America Demand Outlook for Liquid Light Guides

The demand for liquid light guides is anticipated to grow at a significant rate in North America region owing to increasing penetration of liquid light guides in forensics, fluorescence microscopy, scientific applications, UV treatments and others. In addition, North America is among the fastest growing technology nation, globally and is estimated to grow the fastest in terms of implementing liquid light guides.

Growing number of technology startups in the region and supportive government policies has strengthened its position in the global liquid light guides landscape. Industries in North America involved in fluorescence microscopy, near-IR applications, and others are moving towards the adoption of liquid light guides, thus driving liquid light guides sales in the North America.
