Optical Brighteners Market: By Chemical Type, By Application, and Geography  

Optical Brighteners Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Chemical Type (Cinnamic Acid, Coumarin, Dicarboxylic Acid, Stilbene, Diphenylpyrazoline, Others), By Application (Paper, Ceramics, Textile, Cosmetics, Detergents, Plastics, Others), and Region  

Optical Brighteners Market size was valued at US$ 680.5 million in 2022 and is poised to grow at a significant CAGR of 6.9% from 2023-2029. Due to increase in demand for optical brighteners from end user industries such as cosmetics, paper, and plastic industries to enhance the appearance of the products. Optical brighteners are currently the most widely utilised compounds in the detergents and soaps industry. The use of optical brighteners in laundry detergents improves the appearance of the garments by making them look brighter and cleaner. Over the forecast period, the aforementioned reasons are expected to fuel demand for optical fibres. Optical brighteners are currently the most widely utilised compounds in the detergents and soaps industry. The use of optical brighteners in laundry detergents improves the appearance of the garments by making them look brighter and cleaner. Over the forecast period, the aforementioned reasons are expected to fuel demand for optical fibres. Moreover, rise in R&D for the development of biodegradable brighteners, rapid growth in textile industry, rapid growth in population adopting the end products, and technological advancements in the manufacturing process are anticipated to fuel the market over the forecast years. For instance, in February 2018, Archroma launched Leucophor MT liq, a tetrasulfonated optical brightening agent modified to give high whiteness performance in surface applications. However, stringent regulations for usage of chemicals, adoption of alternative products for optical brighteners, and complications in the manufacturing procedures are hamper the growth of market over the forecast years.
