The Market Reports

Synopsis
The global market for Wire Grid Polarizer (WGP) was estimated to be worth US$ 118 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 197 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Wire Grid Polarizer (WGP) cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
Wire grid polarizers are made by fabricating very narrow (sub-wavelength) metal strips on a glass substrate or on a free-standing device (for longer wavelengths), and using a diffraction grating to polarize the transmitted light. Wire grid polarizers can be produced using processes such as nanoimprinting and etching.
The wire grid polarizer market is in a high-speed growth channel, and the core driving force is AR/VR, smart cars and projection technology upgrades. In the short term, North America will dominate the industry chain, but China may become the largest source of incremental growth in the future with the help of policies and market demand. Enterprises need to break through the bottleneck of nano-scale manufacturing technology and reduce dependence on rare materials to cope with cost and substitute challenges. Investors can focus on the leading foundries in the Asia-Pacific region and upstream companies in the AR industry chain. From the perspective of manufacturers, globally, the core manufacturers of wire grid polarizers mainly include Thorlabs, Edmund Optics, Moxtek, Ushio, PureWavePolarizers, Meadowlark Optics, Jingcui Optics and Lubang Company, etc. The top five companies account for 84% of the market share, and the market is relatively concentrated.
