The global K9 Optical Glass market size is predicted to grow from US$ 261 million in 2025 to US$ 411 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% from 2026 to 2032.

In 2025, global K9 optical glass production reached 19,796 tons, with an average selling price of US$13,500 per ton. Global annual production capacity for K9 optical glass is approximately 25,000 tons, with a gross profit margin of approximately 30.36%. K9 optical glass is a commonly used zirconium-free tempered sodium-calcium-aluminum silicate optical glass, widely used in the manufacture of optical components such as imaging systems, lenses, microscopes, and projectors. Upstream raw materials for K9 optical glass include quartz sand, high-purity alumina, and chemicals and gases required for purification. The midstream consists of K9 optical glass manufacturers, while the downstream primarily comprises industries such as consumer electronics, automobiles, and optical instruments.

K9 optical glass, as a medium-refractive-index, widely applicable optical material, maintains stable demand in fields such as optical lenses, microscopes, and imaging systems. The market supply side is mainly composed of manufacturers from China, South Korea, and Japan. Key competitive factors focus on material consistency, finished product size range, thermal stability and low dispersion performance, as well as cost control. Driven by global capacity expansion and downstream applications in imaging, lasers, and sensing, price fluctuations are relatively mild but still affected by market fluctuations in raw materials such as SiO2 and high-purity molten glass. More manufacturers are improving profit margins per unit by increasing mass production efficiency and enhancing surface quality and dimensional stability. Overall, the K9 optical glass market maintains steady growth, but intense price competition and the impact of higher-end low-dispersion materials are prompting companies to continuously invest in customization, production line automation, and quality control.
