The Photocatalytic Coatings market is projected to grow from USD 0.9 billion in 2023 to USD 1.4 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 9.7% between 2023-2028. The challenges related to the Photocatalytic Coatings market are cheaper alternatives available in the market and less awareness about these coatings between consumers.
“Zinc Oxide Photocatalytic Coatings are estimated to be the fastest growing segment in the market.”
Nanostructured ZnO is a fascinating material that possesses and reveals exceptional physicochemical properties when used in photocatalytic applications. As a semiconductor, ZnO has high thermal conductivity, high exciton binding energy (60 m eV), high electron mobility and wide band gap, i.e., 3.2–3.4 eV. The potential of photocatalytic activity of nZnO expands its scope in biomedical [20], industrial, catalysis, coatings, sensors, textiles, and energy conversion devices, i.e., fuel and solar cells.
“Building & Construction to gain the maximum market share of end-use industry during the forecast period.”
Photocatalytic coatings are often applied to exterior building facades to improve air quality by reducing air pollution. They help in breaking down pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) when exposed to sunlight. This application is particularly beneficial in urban areas with high pollution levels. Applying photocatalytic coatings on rooftops and pavements can help mitigate the urban heat island effect. By reflecting sunlight and reducing heat absorption, these coatings can lower surface temperatures, contribute to cooler microclimates, and reduce the energy required for cooling buildings, hence, help mitigating global warming.
“Asia Pacific is estimated to be the largest and fastest-growing segment of the Photocatalytic Coatings market.”
In the Asia-Pacific region, there is considerable scientific study on photocatalytic coatings. Numerous investigations are being made into the creation, improvement, and uses of photocatalytic coatings. Researchers are attempting to create new photocatalytic materials or enhance those that already exist. To improve the photocatalytic activity, stability, and effectiveness of coatings, the institutes are developing innovative compositions, nanostructured materials, and composite formulations. When it comes to creating and applying photocatalytic technology, Japan has been at the forefront. Along with it, China and South Korea are working hard to develop and use photocatalytic coatings.
