This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on High Refractive Index Wafer for AR/MR Waveguide cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
In recent years, displays that "virtually enhance" the world in front of you by superimposing virtual visual information on real scenes have been developed, and wearable displays called "AR/MR glasses" for AR (Augmented Reality) and MR (Mixed Reality) displays have attracted increasing attention. As the next generation of electronic devices after smartphones, the market for these AR/MR glasses is expected to continue to expand. MR is mixed reality technology, a hybrid of VR and AR, which combines the real world with the virtual world to create a new environment where elements of the two worlds can coexist and interact. If what you see in VR is fake, then what you see in AR is both real and fake, and you can tell the difference. And MR not only sees both real and fake, but can also be indistinguishable from the real thing. High Refractive Index Wafer is commonly used in MR devices such as Varjo XR, Quest3/Pro, and Pico 4 Ultra.
High Refractive Index Wafer is a core component of optical waveguide technology in augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) devices. It improves device display effects and user experience by optimizing optical performance and physical properties.
In terms of the refractive index of common materials, ordinary resin is about 1.51, high refractive index resin is about 1.74; ordinary glass is about 1.5, high refractive index glass is about 1.9. SiC material can reach more than 2.6. In the optical waveguide structure, the higher the refractive index of the base material, the larger the field of view FOV of the AR lens.
Global High Refractive Index Wafer for AR & MR Waveguide market size in terms of revenue is projected to reach 445.20 million USD by 2031 from 282.49 million USD in 2024, with a CAGR 5.30% during 2025-2031.
