In 1991 Reconnaissance Holographics Ltd. conducted a survey of the worldwide holography industry. This paper presents a summary of the findings of that survey, updated and projected forward with new data gathered since the survey. Trends in commercial display holography are identified and projected to 1999. The paper includes estimates of the global market for display and embossed holograms; how that market is split between the various market sectors; and the global distribution of hologram production. Historical trends in market growth and shifts in the balance of applications are presented. We identify potential growth areas for display holography, growth sectors, and new trends in market applications of holographics.
