Photocatalyst Market Analysis Forecasts

Photocatalyst Market Insights

The global photocatalyst is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. The growth can be primarily attributed to rising demand for water treatment due to depleting water resources and increasing water scarcity.

The increased benefits associated with photocatalyst including superior chemical properties and decomposition of organic compound are expected to drive demand in building & construction, air purification and water treatment sectors. Along with this, there are only a few regulations regarding application of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide on account of their harmless nature. This is also projected to stimulate market growth over the forecast period.

However, high initial investment associated with the manufacturing of photocatalyst coupled with ownership of existing technology by key manufacture is projected to affect the profitability of the market.

Photocatalyst Market: Product Insights

On the basis of product, the global photocatalyst market is segmented into titanium dioxide and zinc oxide among others. The market for titanium dioxide is expected to occupy the highest share mainly owing to factors such as physical & chemical stability and light absorption among others. Moreover, the availability of only a few alternatives of the product is projected to favor the market over the coming years.

Photocatalyst Market: Application Insights
