Summary

The global Wire Grid Polarizer (WGP) market size was US$ 118 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 197 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
By 2025, the evolving U.S. tariff policy is poised to inject considerable uncertainty into the global economic landscape. This report delves into the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses across the globe, evaluating their impacts on Wire Grid Polarizer (WGP) market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations.
Wire grid polarizers are made by fabricating very narrow (sub-wavelength) metal strips on a glass substrate or on a free-standing device (for longer wavelengths), and using a diffraction grating to polarize the transmitted light. Wire grid polarizers can be produced using processes such as nanoimprinting and etching.

The wire grid polarizer market is in a high-speed growth channel, and the core driving force is AR/VR, smart cars and projection technology upgrades. In the short term, North America will dominate the industry chain, but China may become the largest source of incremental growth in the future with the help of policies and market demand. Enterprises need to break through the bottleneck of nano-scale manufacturing technology and reduce dependence on rare materials to cope with cost and substitute challenges. Investors can focus on the leading foundries in the Asia-Pacific region and upstream companies in the AR industry chain. From the perspective of manufacturers, globally, the core manufacturers of wire grid polarizers mainly include Thorlabs, Edmund Optics, Moxtek, Ushio, PureWavePolarizers, Meadowlark Optics, Jingcui Optics and Lubang Company, etc. The top five companies account for 84% of the market share, and the market is relatively concentrated.
