Global
Benzophenone Market: Introduction
·
Benzophenone is used as a photo initiator in UV-curing
applications such as inks, imaging, and clear coatings in the printing
industry. It belongs to the class of UV absorbers. Benzophenone acts by
changing the conformational structure, emitting higher wavelength, and
converting UV light into heat. It offers low to moderate stabilization
performance for general applications. Benzophenone is often used in paints and
coatings due to its excellent solubility in the oil phase and low melting
point.
·
In home care applications, benzophenone is primarily used as a
fragrance ingredient in laundry and cleaning products. It is added to perfumes
to provide protection against degradation from UV rays and air. Additionally,
benzophenone is often used as an industrial photo initiator in adhesives and
sealants.
Properties of Benzophenone to Drive Market
·
The global benzophenone
market is driven by the rise in demand for benzophenone in various
applications such as paints & coatings, adhesives & sealants,
agrochemical, pharmaceutical, home care, and personal care. Ability of
benzophenone to prevent discoloration and photo degradation of physical,
mechanical, and chemical properties of polymers from UV light is expected to
drive the market in the near future.
Covid-19 Pandemic and Stiff Competition from Substitutes to
Hamper Benzophenone Market
·
Benzophenone is primarily employed in the production of paints
& coatings formulations, which are further used in the building &
construction sector. However, disruption as well as modification of the supply
chain due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic is anticipated to adversely affect
the demand for benzophenone in the building & construction sector.
Weakening of the global economy due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic is
further estimated to hamper the benzophenone market.
·
Prominent substitutes of benzophenone include benzotriazole,
triazine, and hindered amine light stabilizers. Benzotriazole offers high and
broad absorption ranging from 270nm to 400nm and is compatible with a wide
range of polymer systems and additives. This helps prevent gloss reduction,
cracking, blistering, and color change. Additionally, these types of UV
absorbers offer better properties than benzophenone, even though the cost of
benzotriazole Is bit higher than benzophenone. Therefore, benzotriazole is used
extensively in formulations of paints and coatings. On the other hand, triazine
possesses superior light fastness property compared to benzotriazole and
benzophenone. Additionally, it can be used for acidic rain applications or
acid-catalyzed systems. This is expected to hamper the benzophenone market in
the next few years.

Asia
Pacific to Hold Major Share of Global Benzophenone Market
·
Based on region, the global benzophenone market can be segmented
into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East &
Africa
·
Asia Pacific is a leading global consumer of benzophenone.
China is one of the leading producers of benzophenone across the world.
Rapid economic growth, improvement in the standard of living of the people, and
large-scale urbanization have boosted the demand for benzophenone in Asia
Pacific. Government programs such as the National Smart Cities Mission are
projected to boost the construction industry in India. This, in turn, is
anticipated to augment the benzophenone market in Asia Pacific. However, the
Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted the building & construction sector. This is
estimated to hamper the consumption of benzophenone in the near future.
However, building & construction sector is expected to bounce back after
two to three years, thereby fueling demand for benzophenone across Asia Pacific
in the near future.
·
Prominent manufacturers of benzophenone operating across North
America include SI Group, Inc., 3V Sigma USA Inc., Valtris Specialty Chemicals,
and Mayzo, Inc. These producers are primarily engaged in enhancing existing
chemistries and processes as well as development of innovative and unique
products through extensive research & development activities.
·
The market in Brazil is much larger compared to that in Mexico
due to the former’s expanding economy. However, the market in Mexico is likely
to expand significantly during the forecast period owing to the rise in
investment by certain automakers in the country. Additionally, increase in
investments in transport infrastructure, energy, and housing projects is
expected to drive the paints & coatings sector in the near future. This, in
turn, is projected to boost the benzophenone market in Latin America in the
near future.
