Global Photocatalyst Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2023-2028

The global photocatalyst market size reached US$ 2.4 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, the market is expected to reach US$ 3.9 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 8.43% during 2022-2028.

Photocatalyst is a substance that catalyzes the main reaction in photocatalysis. It absorbs light to bring it to a higher energy level and provides energy to a reacting substance, which results in a chemical reaction. It also destructs and degrades pollutants at ambient temperature and pressure compared to current air and water purification technologies. It is made using easily available materials, such as metal oxides, metal sulfides, oxysulfides, oxynitrides, and composites, and well-known techniques. As it is cost-efficient and consumes lesser energy, the demand for photocatalyst is escalating around the world.

Photocatalyst Market Trends

There is currently a considerable scarcity of water on account of rapid industrialization and depleting freshwater resources worldwide. This represents one of the key factors impelling the market growth. Photocatalysts have superior chemical properties and the ability to decompose organic compounds that enhance the water treatment process. They are also environment friendly as they do not exhibit toxicity and absorb lamplight or sunlight for their functioning. Moreover, as they are made with self-cleaning materials and act as a barrier for dust and stains, photocatalysts are increasingly employed in the construction industry. This, along with the escalating demand for low volatile organic compounds (VOC) coatings and the expansion of the construction industry, is contributing to market growth. Furthermore, leading manufacturers are continuously investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce innovative photocatalysts materials using zinc oxide (ZnO) and calcium sulfide (CdS). This, in confluence with the increasing concerns about pollution, is positively influencing the adoption of these materials in the production of air conditioning systems, air filters, and ventilation. Besides this, the market is also driven by the growing applications of photocatalysts on glass surfaces, including glass film, optical lens, refrigerated showcase, road mirror, and bathroom or dresser mirror.
