自适应光学技术市场 - 2024 年至 2029 年预测Adaptive Optics Technology Market - Forecasts from 2024 to 2029 |
自适应光学技术市场预计将以 19.83%(复合年增长率)成长,从 2024 年的 1,624,278,000 美元成长到 2029 年的 4,012,844,000 美元。
自适应光学技术透过操纵光波前来提高最终输出,从而提高光学系统的性能。在为您的应用选择合适的变形镜时,需要考虑四个方面:表面类型、驱动技术、致动器数量和尺寸。
由于其高可操作性,该技术在医疗、製造、天文学、国防和通讯技术等各个领域的成像和非成像领域都有应用。这些主要最终用户要求使用现代光学解决方案来提供更好的成像,预计这将推动对自适应光学技术的需求。而且,各种光学技术相关研究计划的实施也是进一步的助推器。
透过消除大气差异,自适应光学元件使望远镜能够拍摄衍射极限影像,从而能够观察从地面难以看到的物体的细节。为了更好地了解宇宙而进行的太空探勘活动的兴起正在加速对先进光学技术的需求和使用范围。因此,各种新的投资同时进行,导致整个市场的扩张。
例如,2024 年 1 月,由麦考瑞大学领导的澳洲-法国联盟赢得了 1500 万澳元的国际竞标,为夏威夷的双子座北望远镜开发自适应光学元件。这种自适应光学系统消除了大气湍流引起的模糊,并为研究人员描述了科学发现的新可能性。
自适应光学技术因其能够滤除大气湍流并提供精确成像的能力而在军事应用中得到应用,例如基于雷射的武器系统。看到这种技术的潜力,主要国家都在寻求投资这项技术,以进一步改善其远距武器系统。例如,2023年5月,国防部宣布将在APFIT(加速创新技术的采购和实用化)试验计画下投资1.5亿美元,用于开发增强美国作战能力的工具。该投资包括1677万美元的综合防空摄影机资金。
自适应光学技术市场地域展望
由于该技术在国防和安全、天文学和医疗等各个行业领域的广泛部署,北美市场预计将成长。美国国防和安全系统将这项技术用于空中和地面飞弹防御系统,预计由于国防支出增加,这种情况还将进一步增加。
根据美国参议院军事委员会统计,国防部2024财年国防预算为8,414亿美元,较2023财年国防预算大幅增加9%。为此,研究前沿正在进行多种类型的合作。例如,2023 年 10 月,麻萨诸塞大学阿默斯特分校 (UMass-Amherst) 获得希利-德里斯科尔政府津贴500 万美元,用于在麻省大学建立研发设施。该设施专注于开发先进光学技术,应用于国防、生物技术、环境监测和家用电子电器。
由于该领域研发活动的增加和技术的改进,预计亚太地区也将推动全球自适应光学技术市场的发展。
自适应光学技术市场的主要发展
参与企业
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.
