[180 Pages Report] The Photoinitiator Market size was estimated at USD 2.73 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 3.04 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 11.75% to reach USD 5.94 billion by 2030.

Photoinitiators have emerged as a popular method for inducing photopolymerization by transforming energy from light into chemical energy. This system is often combined with cross-linkable monomers and oligomers to produce ultra-violet-curable inks, coatings, adhesives, and many other products. Rising automotive manufacturing, production of furniture, and ever-increasing growth in the construction industry have accelerated the demand for adhesives & coatings based on photoinitiators. Increasing government investments in solar power generation and the need for solar batteries and fuel cells have also created a need for market development. However, adverse safety impacts of photoinitiators on food packaging applications and concerns associated with using the accurate concentration of photoinitiators in end-user applications limit the use of photoinitiators. Players and research institutes are working toward developing advanced photoinitiators with better qualities and performance to curb these limitations. Moreover, the potential use of photoinitiators in 3D printing, lithography, and screen printing creates immense opportunities for market development.
