A photoinitiator is a molecule or compounds that creates reactive species such as cations, free radicals, or anions when exposed to visible or UV radiation. Furthermore, photoinitiators are very useful compounds that when added to a formulation convert light energy into chemical energy and are usually used in sealants and adhesives, wood coatings, powder coatings, pigment coatings, clear coatings, inks and composites. Their applications and versatility of attributes make them highly useful products.

Market Dynamic- Global Photoinitiator Market

Primary growth factors such as rising growth opportunities of photoinitiators owing to demand from several end-use industries, demand for eco-friendly substitute for VOCs and improved and better properties of photoinitiators are accredited to the growth of the market. Besides, growing significance of photoinitiators for applications in the dental industry and in biomedical applications, surge in the demand for water-soluble additives and rapid growth of UV curable printing inks are anticipated to impel growth of the market in the near future. However, safety concerns and high costs and finishing defects due to uneven exposure to light are some of the major restraining factors that could hamper the market growth.
