Introduction of the Photoinitiator Market Report
Photoinitiators are useful elements that, when summed to a formulation, transform light energy into chemical energy. Photoinitiators are increasingly used in adhesives and sealants, powder coating, wood coating, clear coating, composites, and inks. When photoinitiators absorb light, they generate reactive species that can begin or catalyze chemical reactions. These chemical reactions can be used to alter solubility or other physical properties.

Market Dynamic
Key Drivers and Emerging Trends
The factors driving the global photoinitiator market include the increasing demand for paints and coatings. Photoinitiators are utilized widely together in combination with cross-linkable monomers and oligomers in UV-curable coating. UV-curing technology represents an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective alternative to other technologies such as solvent-based formulated systems, as there is no water to discharge at the end of the printing or coating process. According to the American Coating Association, in 2021, the coating industry contributed significantly to the U.S. economy exporting over USD 2.2 billion in coating products while generating a substantial trade surplus of USD 1.3 billion. The increasing use of eco-friendly alternative products of volatile organic compounds will boost the market. Many VOCs are human-made chemicals used and produced in the manufacture of paints, pharmaceuticals, and refrigerants. VOCs are chemicals that both vaporize into the air and dissolve in water which causes direct or indirect effects on human bodies. In comparison, photoinitiators cannot be dissolved in water with oligomers, which do not affect the environment.
Restraint in the Photoinitiator Market
However, the high cost associated with photoinitiators will act as a restraint and hamper the market growth. The purchase of equipment and handling of chemicals attracts a high cost.

Type – Segment Analysis
Based on the type, the free radical segment is anticipated to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Free radicals are the most extensively used photoinitiators and have a strongly developed product line for different applications. Free radicals are usually used within styrene-based or acrylate-based formulations for polymerizations. For instance, IGM Resins offers OMNIRAD BL 724 free radical photoinitiator blend to various applications such as graphic arts, wood coating, plastic coating, metal coating, adhesives, electronics, and others.
End-User – Segment Analysis
Based on the end-user, the coating segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Photoinitiators are used in various applications including industrial coating and coating for graphic arts. It is also used in the manufacture of display and touch screens, solar batteries and fuel cells, flexible electronics, medical devices, aerospace, and automotive components. UV curable coating can offer improved performance and visual properties. One of the main advantages from an environmental perspective is the absence of solvents. The growing demand for coating will boost the photoinitiator market. For instance, according to American Coating Association, in 2020, architectural coating of USD 13.6 billion was shipped and USD 7.7 billion of industrial OEM coating were sold in United States.
