Photosensitive Glass Market Overview:
Photosensitive glass, also known as photo-structurable glass (PSG) or photo-machinable glass, is a crystal-clear glass, which belongs to the lithium-silicate family of glasses. This glass captures an image of a mask by microscopic metallic particles when it is exposed to short wave radiations such as ultraviolet light (UV). It possesses few characteristics in common with glass ceramics such as transparency, high strength & toughness, chemical durability, and zero or low porosity. This material has a limited array of applications, ranging from portraits & figures, photographic murals, 3D images, decorative windows, displays, ornamental tiles, and others.
The growth of the global photosynthetic glass market is majorly driven by increase in demand for photosynthetic glass owing to the development of the construction sector. This material is widely used in the commercial sector to aesthetically enhance the surroundings and in industrial sector specifically in the electronics industry to produce compact devices and components. The trend for micro-circuits through microfabrication in the electronics industry is expected to drive the adoption of photosensitive glass, thereby offering lucrative growth opportunities over the coming years. However, the major challenge that hampers the market growth is the high cost of photosensitive glass. On the contrary, increase in applications of photosensitive glass across various end-use industries is anticipated to create lucrative growth opportunities for the market during the forecast period.
