Light powered catalysts, also known as photocatalysts, are substances that accelerate and drive photoreactions. They differ from traditional catalysts in that they require the absorption of light to activate their catalytic properties and initiate chemical reactions. Common light powered catalysts include titanium dioxide and cadmium selenide which have seen increasing usage in applications such as self-cleaning surfaces, water purification, and environmental remediation due to their photocatalytic effect. The global light powered catalyst market is expected to grow steadily owing to the rising demand for green chemistry solutions and pollution control measures worldwide.

Market Dynamics:

Growing concerns regarding environmental pollution and the need for sustainable solutions are driving the demand for light powered photocatalysts. Their application in air and water purification is helping mitigate volatile organic compound emissions and remove toxic contaminants from the environment. Favorable government regulations supporting the adoption of green technologies is also boosting market opportunities. However, high production costs and the need for specific wavelength ultraviolet light to activate certain photocatalysts is restraining widespread commercialization. Ongoing R&D in synthesizing more efficient photocatalytic materials that can operate under visible light can help address these challenges and unlock new application potentials in solar energy conversion and disinfection.
