brighteners market provides an in-depth analysis of segments and sub-segments in
the global as well as regional optical brighteners market. The study also
highlights the impact of drivers, restraints, and macro indicators on the
global and regional optical brighteners market over the short term as well as
long term. The report is a comprehensive presentation of trends, forecast and
dollar values of the global optical brighteners market. According to the report,
the global optical brighteners market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1%
over the forecast period of 2019-2025.
Optical brighteners are commonly used additives in paper, plastic,
textiles and detergents industry. These whitening agents absorb light in the UV
spectrum and emit light in the blue region of the visible spectrum to yield a
brighter and fresher appearance to the substance it is applied. Most of the
commercially available optical brighteners are made from stilbene, soumarin,
and siphenyl pyrazoline. Globally, stilbene-based optical brighteners are
expected to remain as the most preferred brightening agent in the optical
brighteners market.
The growing use of optical brighteners in several end users such
as papers, textiles, plastics, and detergents industry drives the growth of the
optical brighteners market. It is commonly used in the plastic industry as
additives that impart brightness to polymers and intensify the degree of
whiteness. Optical brighteners are used in engineering plastics like
thermoplastic polyurethanes, styrene homo, and copolymers, polyvinylchlorides
(PVC), and polyolefins among others. Additionally, they have vast uses for
whitening and brightening of linen, wool, silk and cotton and polyester in the
textile industry. However, the growing environmental pollution is causing a reduction in the use of optical brighteners in the detergent industry, which is
likely to hamper the market growth. Furthermore, the growing use of optical
brighteners in cosmetic products is providing beneficial opportunities for the
growth of the optical brighteners market.
Among the regions, Asia-Pacific dominates the global optical
brighteners market and is anticipated to remain dominant over the forecast
period. The growth of paper and textile industry in China and India are facilitating
the growth of the Asia-Pacific optical brighteners market. Furthermore,
Furthermore, China is a leading supplier of optical brighteners in the global
market. The growing demand for detergents owing to increasing population in the
Asia-Pacific countries also fuel the growth of the Asia-Pacific optical
brighteners market. Europe also holds a significant share in the global market
owing to the presence of leading manufacturers such as Blankophor GmbH &
Co. KG and Rudolf GmbH.
