Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Type (Uniform Fiber Bragg Grating, Non-Uniform Fiber Bragg Grating), By Application (Optical Fiber Communications, Optical Fiber Sensing, Optical Information Processing), By Industry (Optical Communication, Aerospace Applications, Energy industry, Transportation, Geo-Technical &Civil Engineering, Other) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

From the past few years, fiber optic communication has become a major building block in the telecommunication infrastructure. With the widespread use of optical fiber cables, the demand for various optical sensors also has been increased. Among various sensor types, fiber bragg grating (FBG) sensors have become widely popular. The FBG sensor is a distributed bragg reflector fabricated in a small optical fiber segment. The sensor reflects only a specific wavelength of light and transmits all others. Thus, an FBG sensor can be used as a wavelength-specific reflector or an inline optical filter that blocks certain wavelengths. The design's great flexibility makes them ideal for various sensing applications implemented in different industries. This sensor can be heavily used as an alternative to conventional electrical or mechanical sensors.

The fiber bragg grating market is likely to grow at a higher rate in the forecast period due to the sensor's cumulative demand to measure numerous physical parameters, including pressure, temperature, and acoustic waves in any environment. These sensors are adopted for a wide range of applications in aerospace, oil & gas, automotive, and other industries. They are rapidly developing telecommunication infrastructure escalating the demand for optical fiber cables and sensing devices

The FBG sensors offer longer stability, smaller size, higher accuracy, ability to measure ultra-high speed events, and immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Such sensors are ideal for various industrial and commercial applications such as position measurement, temperature sensing, pressure sensing, vibration measurement, fluid-level measurement, etc. Thus, numerous benefits offered by fiber bragg grating sensors would be likely to drive their adoption in the coming years.
