Europe Photonics Market

Europe Photonics Market Size (2024 to 2029)

The Europe Photonics Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.26% during the forecast period 2024 to 2029. The market value was at US$ 220.12 million in 2023, and the value is expected to reach US$ 354.43 million by the end of 2029.

MARKET DRIVERS AND RESTRAINTS

The photonics market in Europe is very dynamic and mergers and acquisitions take place very often. This creates a very good ecosystem for the photonics industry.  In addition to this, the LED market due to its high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics is in high demand proving a robust product to meet the demand. This is one of the driving factors for the photonics business. Europe is also a big hub for energy production, a lot of investment has gone into producing energy from renewable sources. Wind power projects are very popular. and the use of photovoltaic cells is widespread, which is very dominating when it comes to the demand for photonics products.

Impact of COVID-19 on the European Photonics Market

The European photonics industry was facing the consequences of the US-China tariff issues before the pandemic which disrupted the supply chain. With Europe becoming a hotspot in the early stages of the pandemic in 2020, major players in the market had to eschew production activities. This came with the expected low demand for consumer electronics products and a dip in production activities all across Europe. Many industries such as display, photovoltaic, etc had to operate at reduced capacities, and with little to no demand for their products, the overall market embraced a state of crisis. The prevalent situation got better with time and production activities resumed in the mid-2020. Experts say that the market is expected to operate at a fully functional capacity in 2021.
