Near Infrared Absorbing Materials Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.89% through 2030

Expansion of Renewable Energy and Photovoltaics is expected to drive the Global Near Infrared Absorbing Materials Market growth in the forecast period, 2026-2030.


According to TechSci Research report, “Near Infrared Absorbing Materials Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global Near Infrared Absorbing Materials Market stood at USD 296.13 Million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 6.89% through 2030. The accelerating global shift toward clean energy is a significant driver for the Near Infrared (NIR) absorbing materials market, particularly in the photovoltaics sector. As countries commit to reducing carbon emissions and meeting sustainability goals, there is a growing demand for high-efficiency solar technologies. NIR-absorbing materials play a critical role in enhancing the performance of solar cells, especially perovskite and tandem cells, by enabling broader spectrum light absorption and reducing energy losses due to infrared radiation.

Recent advancements, such as those made by researchers in South Korea and Europe, have demonstrated how NIR-absorbing layers can boost power conversion efficiency while improving thermal stability, key to extending the lifespan of solar modules. Additionally, governments are increasing investments in green energy R&D and infrastructure. For example, the European Union’s Horizon Europe program, Japan’s Green Innovation Fund, and India’s National Solar Mission support innovations in solar materials, including NIR-responsive coatings and films. These developments, coupled with rising solar installations in Asia-Pacific, North America, and the Middle East, are fueling consistent demand for advanced NIR materials that improve both efficiency and durability in renewable energy systems. As a result, the photovoltaics sector is emerging as a strong growth driver for the global NIR absorbing materials market.

Global Near Infrared Absorbing Materials Market is segmented into material, function, end use industry, regional distribution, and company.

Based on function, Absorption emerged as the fastest growing segment in the global market for Near Infrared Absorbing Materials in 2024. This is due to its wide-ranging applicability across high-demand sectors such as electronics, telecommunications, defense, and photovoltaics. Materials with strong NIR absorption capabilities are critical in enhancing device performance by minimizing signal interference, reducing thermal buildup, and improving sensor accuracy. These materials are increasingly used in optical filters, biometric sensors, IR-blocking films, anti-counterfeiting packaging, and camouflage coatings, technologies that are expanding rapidly alongside advancements in smart electronics, fiber-optic communication, and surveillance systems. Additionally, as industries shift toward energy-efficient and miniaturized components, the need for precise NIR light management intensifies, further accelerating the adoption of absorption-focused materials over other functional categories like high transparency and heat resistance.

Based on Region, the Asia Pacific emerged as the fastest growing region in the global market for Near Infrared Absorbing Materials in 2024. This is due to a combination of strong manufacturing capacity, government-backed semiconductor and electronics initiatives, and rising demand across end-use sectors. Countries such as China, India, South Korea, and Japan are heavily investing in 5G/6G infrastructure, smart electronics, automotive innovations, and renewable energy systems, all of which rely on NIR-responsive technologies. For instance, India’s Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and China’s “Made in China 2025” policy have significantly boosted domestic production of optoelectronic components and advanced materials. South Korea’s K-CHIPS Act and Japan’s Green Innovation Fund are further propelling research and development in NIR-integrated photonic systems. The region also benefits from a robust supply chain and cost-effective labor, making it attractive for large-scale production of NIR films, coatings, and sensors. As consumer electronics adoption rises and smart infrastructure expands, Asia-Pacific continues to lead in innovation and volume demand, driving its rapid growth in the global market.
