Optical Brightening Agents Market Growth
Optical brightening agents, also known as fluorescent brightening agents, are chemicals employed in manufacturing plastics, fibres, coatings, inks and detergents. They absorb light in the ultraviolet and violet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum and give out light in the blue region. Further, greater acceptance of chemical optical brightening agents (based on coumarin, stilbene, cinnamic acid, diphenyl pyrazoline, dicarboxylic acid, etc.) in developing nations has been observed. Brightening agents are added to detergents to give clothes a cleaner appearance; ordinarily, cleaned clothes appear yellowish, which is not liked by consumers.
Rapid growth in textiles and cosmetics across the globe has driven the optical brightening agents demand growth. Introducing new optical brightening agents with better compatibility with recycled fibres is also expected to aid the recycled fibre industry.
Brightening agents are used in high-brightness paper to give it a strong, fluorescent appearance under ultraviolet light. Formerly, bluing was used for the same purpose but came to be replaced by modern optical brightening agents. Brighteners add to the detergent value and can also be used as fabric softeners. They are also used as bleaches. The detergent and cleaning sectors have been the key drivers of the optical brightening agents market.
The growth of the optical brightening agents industry is expanding due to rising demand in textiles, detergents, and paper industries. These agents enhance product appearance by making materials appear whiter and brighter. Technological advancements and increasing consumer awareness of product aesthetics drive market growth. Key regions witnessing significant market share include North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific.
