The photonics industry in Southeast Asia is poised for significant growth, with projections indicating an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 8% to 10% from 2023 to 2030. Investments in the sector are expected to reach $5 billion by 2025, primarily focused on areas like optical communications, laser technology, and LED lighting. The demand for photonic sensors and smart lighting is projected to increase by around 25% as smart city initiatives and Industry 4.0 gain momentum. Furthermore, regional collaboration in R&D is set to foster innovative industry clusters, while the shift towards sustainable solutions will see green photonics products capturing 30% of the market by 2030. In light of these promising trends, the Asia Photonics Expo (APE) presents a vital platform for industry stakeholders to explore new opportunities, showcase advancements, and connect with key players in the rapidly evolving photonics landscape.
