    According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global IR Optical Glass market size was valued at US$ 330 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 561 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 8.2% during review period.
    In 2024, global production of IR optical glass reached 220.24 tons, with an average selling price of US$1,457 per kilogram. Global annual production capacity for IR optical glass was approximately 373 tons, with a gross profit margin of approximately 30.2%. IR optical glass refers to optical glass materials with transmittance properties in the infrared band, used to manufacture optical components (such as lenses, prisms, and windows) for infrared imaging, sensing, and laser systems. Unlike visible light glass, IR glass requires optimization of transmittance, refractive index, dispersion, and thermal stability in the near-infrared (NIR), mid-infrared (MIR), or far-infrared (FIR) bands, and presents greater challenges in manufacturing processes, humidity sensitivity, and cost. The upstream of the IR optical glass industry chain includes quartz sand, calcium carbonate, and zinc sulfide, the midstream consists of IR optical glass manufacturers, and the downstream mainly comprises industries such as military defense, security systems, and automobiles.
