COVID-19 Impact analysis
COVID-19 has severely impacted the global economy with devastating effects on global trade, which has simultaneously affected households, business, financial institution, industrial establishments, and infrastructure companies. The restrictions on international trade and lockdown regulations on the operations of the chemicals industry are projected to limit short term demand in the market.The market witnessed a slowdown since the pandemic knocked the doors of various international markets. The lockdown imposed by the government led to a major suspension of the market activities and the players had to bear the impact in the form of losses, reduced skilled labor, unavailability of raw materials for production, and much more. The market was functional during the permitted hours only, which hampered their ability to cater to the market demand and thus, disrupt the supply chain mechanism during the period.

Executive Summary
According to this report titled, 'Antireflective Coatings Market,' the antireflective coatings market was valued at $4.3 billion in 2020, and is estimated to reach $8.9 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 7.61% from 2021 to 2030.Anti-reflection coatings are dielectric coatings designed to reduce reflections and increase transmission through lens or other optical surfaces. These coatings can control both transmission and reflection properties associated with UV, visible, and near-infrared spectral bands. Anti-reflective coatings are used in many industries such as eyewear, electronics, solar panels, and automobiles. Anti-reflection lenses are an affordable alternative to reducing glare reflected from computer screens, televisions, flat panel displays, and other electronic displays.
Anti-reflective coatings are used to reduce glare and provide low reflectance. This makes the display easier to read, reduces eye strain, and improves visual insight. The demand for progressive lenses has grown rapidly as more and more people suffer from presbyopia. Presbyopia is a condition in which the crystalline lens of the eye becomes harder with age, making it difficult to read at close range. In March 2021, KITS announced that it would begin offering ultra-thin digital progressive lenses on all websites. The launch of such products has increased the consumption of anti-reflective coatings. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, myopia occurs in about 23.9% (about 34 million people) of the U.S. over the age of 40. According to World Health Organization (WHO), as of October 2021, approximately 2.2 billion people worldwide suffer from short-range or long-range visual impairment. Such numbers could increase the demand for associated eye lenses while addressing these obstacles, further increasing the demand for anti-reflective coatings.
With the increased installation of solar panels, the demand for anti-reflective coatings has grown. However, high manufacturing costs and lack of knowledge about proper maintenance & use of anti-reflective coatings hamper the market growth. Conversely, rise in opportunities for anti-reflective coatings on smartphones, televisions, laptops, electronic devices, and solar panel screens in emerging markets have created favorable opportunities for the global anti-reflective coating market.
The antireflective coatings market is segmented on the basis of technology, application, layer type and region.
On the basis of technology, the market is categorized into vacuum deposition, electronic beam evaporation, sputtering, and others (ion assisted deposition). By application, antireflective coatings market is fragmented into eyewear, electronics, solar panels, automobile, and others (telecommunications, telescope, and binocular lenses). On the basis of layer type, the market is categorized into single layered and multi layered. By region, the antireflective coatings market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA. The North America region accounted for largest market share of the total revenue in 2020. The high adoption of Antireflective coatings products in the region is expected to continue to bolster the antireflective coatings market size, due to surge in the consumption of consumer goods in this region.
The key players operating in the global antireflective coatings market are Essilor International, Carl Zeiss AG, E.
