According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Infrared Transmission Glass market size was valued at US$ 330 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 910 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 8.2% during review period.
In 2024, global production of infrared-transmitting glass reached 220.24 tons, with an average selling price of US$1,457 per kilogram. Global annual production capacity for infrared-transmitting glass is approximately 373 tons, with a gross profit margin of about 30.2%. Infrared-transmitting glass generally refers to glass materials with excellent transmission properties in the infrared band, used to manufacture optical components such as lenses, windows, and prisms in infrared imaging, sensing, and communication systems. Compared to visible light glass, infrared-transmitting glass requires specific chemical compositions and structures in the near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), or far-infrared (FIR) bands to achieve high transmittance, appropriate refractive index, and low absorption. The upstream of the infrared-transmitting glass industry chain includes quartz sand, calcium carbonate, and zinc sulfide, the midstream consists of infrared-transmitting glass manufacturers, and the downstream mainly comprises industries such as military defense, security systems, and automobiles.
