自適應光學技術市場 - 2024 年至 2029 年預測Adaptive Optics Technology Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
自適應光學技術市場預計將以 19.83%(複合年成長率)成長,從 2024 年的 1,624,278,000 美元成長到 2029 年的 4,012,844,000 美元。
自適應光學技術透過操縱光波前來提高最終輸出,從而提高光學系統的性能。在為您的應用選擇合適的變形鏡時,需要考慮四個方面:表面類型、驅動技術、致動器數量和尺寸。
由於其高可操作性,該技術在醫療、製造、天文學、國防和通訊技術等各個領域的成像和非成像領域都有應用。這些主要最終用戶要求使用現代光學解決方案來提供更好的成像,預計這將推動對自適應光學技術的需求。而且,各種光學技術相關研究計劃的實施也是進一步的助推器。
透過消除大氣差異,自適應光學元件使望遠鏡能夠拍攝衍射極限影像,從而能夠觀察從地面難以看到的物體的細節。為了更好地了解宇宙而進行的太空探勘活動的興起正在加速對先進光學技術的需求和使用範圍。因此,各種新的投資同時進行,導致整個市場的擴張。
例如,2024 年 1 月,由麥考瑞大學領導的澳洲-法國聯盟贏得了 1500 萬澳元的國際競標,為夏威夷的雙子座北望遠鏡開發自適應光學元件。這種自適應光學系統消除了大氣湍流引起的模糊,並為研究人員描述了科學發現的新可能性。
自適應光學技術因其能夠濾除大氣湍流並提供精確成像的能力而在軍事應用中得到應用,例如基於雷射的武器系統。看到這種技術的潛力,主要國家都在尋求投資這項技術,以進一步改善其遠距武器系統。例如,2023年5月,國防部宣布將在APFIT(加速創新技術的採購和實用化)試驗計畫下投資1.5億美元,用於開發增強美國作戰能力的工具。該投資包括1677萬美元的綜合防空攝影機資金。
自適應光學技術市場地域展望
由於該技術在國防和安全、天文學和醫療等各個行業領域的廣泛部署,北美市場預計將成長。美國國防和安全系統將這項技術用於空中和地面飛彈防禦系統,預計由於國防支出增加,這種情況還將進一步增加。
根據美國參議院軍事委員會統計,國防部2024會計年度國防預算為8,414億美元,較2023會計年度國防預算大幅增加9%。為此,研究前沿正在進行多種類型的合作。例如,2023 年 10 月,麻薩諸塞大學阿默斯特分校 (UMass-Amherst) 獲得希利-德里斯科爾政府津貼500 萬美元,用於在麻省大學建立研發設施。該設施專注於開發先進光學技術,應用於國防、生物技術、環境監測和家用電子電器。
由於該領域研發活動的增加和技術的改進,預計亞太地區也將推動全球自適應光學技術市場的發展。
自適應光學技術市場的主要發展
參與企業
The adaptive optics technology market is estimated to grow at 19.83% (CAGR) from US$1,624.278 million in 2024 to US$4,012.844 million in 2029.
Adaptive optics technology enhances the performance of an optical system by manipulating the optical wavefront, which results in an improved final output. The four aspects considered while choosing the correct deformed mirror for the applications are surface type, actuation technology, number of actuators, and dimensions.
Owing to its manipulative nature the technology finds applicability in imaging and non-imaging activities across various spectrums such as healthcare, manufacturing, astronomy, defense, and communication & technology. The bolstering growth in such major end-users demands the usage of modern optical solutions to provide better imaging which is anticipated to drive the demand for adaptive optics technology. Moreover, implementing various research projects associated with optical technology further acts as an additional driving factor.
Adaptive optics, by removing atmospheric differences, allows the telescope to capture diffraction-limited images and observe finer details of objects that are otherwise harder to see from the ground. The growing space exploration activities to better understand the universe have accelerated the scope of demand and usage of advanced optical technologies. This has resulted in various new investments simultaneously, thereby augmenting the overall market expansion.
For instance, in January 2024, an Australian-French consortium headed by Macquarie University won an AUD15 million international tender to develop adaptive optics for the Gemini North Telescope located in Hawaii. The adaptive optics would remove blur from turbulence in the atmosphere, thereby providing new possibilities for scientific discoveries for the researchers.
Adaptive optics, owing to their ability to remove atmospheric turbulence and precise imaging, are finding their way into military applications such as laser-based weapon systems. Witnessing the potential of such technology, major nations are eyeing to invest in it to further improve their long-range weapons system. For instance, in May 2023, the Department of Defense announced investments of US$150 million under its APFIT (Accelerate the Procurement and Fielding of Innovative Technologies) pilot program to develop tools to enhance US war fight capability. The investment includes funding of US$16.77 million for integrated air-defense cameras.
Adaptive Optics Technology Market Geographical Outlook
The North American market will grow due to the widespread deployment of this technology across various industry verticals, such as defense and security, astronomy, and healthcare, among others. The US defense and security system uses this technology for its airborne and ground-based missile defense systems, and it is estimated that this will surge further due to increased defense spending.
According to the United States Senate Committee of Armed Services, for FY2024, the Department of Defense was granted US$841.4 billion, which represented a significant increase of 9% over the FY2023 defense budget. Hence, various collaborative efforts on the research front are also being witnessed. For instance, in October 2023, the University of Massachusetts-Amherst (UMass-Amherst) was awarded a US$5 million grant from the Healey Driscoll Administration to establish an R&D facility in UMass. It focuses on the development of advanced optical technologies that will have applicability in defense, biotechnology, environmental monitoring, and consumer electronics.
The Asia Pacific will also drive the market for global adaptive optics technology due to the rise in research and development activities and technical improvements being made in this field.
