The global thermochromic materials market was valued at USD 1.45 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 3.01 billion in 2026, growing at a CAGR of 9.62% during the forecast period.Thermochromic Materials changes the colors with the change in heat and temperature. Thermochromic Materials incorporate changing color ability to convert thermal radiation into a chromatic effect, which changes the viewed color. The thermochromic materials are used as markers to which accurately and instantly relate data to the viewers. These materials are widely used in the manufacturing of inks, paints, coats, paper sheets, and polymers to manufacture various products. The growth of the thermochromic materials market is primarily driven by growing demand for thermochromic materials in end-user industries and an increase in demand for enhancing appearance product and product differentiation. Moreover, the rising demand for thermochromic material as food quality indicators also drives the growth of the global thermochromic materials market. On the other hand, high costs as compared to other conventional colors and inks and limited light-emitting properties is creating a major hindrance for its market growth. However, continuous development in thermochromic materials to use in various applications is expected to create major growth opportunities during the forecast period. The reversible thermochromic materials segment expected to hold the share of 65% in the thermochromic materials market Based on the type, the global thermochromic materials market has been segmented into reversible and irreversible thermochromic materials. The reversible thermochromic materials segment expected to hold the share of 65% in the thermochromic materials market. While, the irreversible segment expected to grow at the CAGR of approximately 13% during the forecast period owing to its excellent indication properties and manufacturing process flexibility further grows the demand for irreversible thermochromic materials. Moreover, irreversible thermochromic materials are largely used in packaging, security inks and other coating applications as they change appearance when exposed to diverse temperatures. Moreover, such factors materials are expected to enhance the market grpwth for acrylic thermochromic throughout the forecast period.The leuco dyes segment expected to grow at the fastest rate of 12% CAGR during the forecast periodBased on the material, the global thermochromic materials market has been segmented into leuco dyes, liquid crystals, pigments, and others. The leuco dyes materials are widely used due to color change properties when exposed to different temperatures. These materials are tough, durable, and cost-effective as compare to other materials and used in medical, packaging, printing & coating.Based on the application, the printing & coating segment is expected to lead during the forecast periodBased on the application, the market has been segmented into packaging, printing & coating, medical, textile, industrial, and others. The printing & coating segment accounted for the largest share in the market in 2018. Owing to its high reflection properties and growing demand for indication material, the thermochromic materials are an ideal solution for printing & coating applications. The thermochromic materials are used in printing & coating applications for path markings, the coating on instrument panels, indicator purpose, and emergency markings. North America to dominate the thermochromic materials market throughout the forecast periodNorth America accounted for nearly 43% share of the global thermochromic materials market in 2018 and is expected to dominate the market throughout the forecast period followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. Stringent government regulations regarding industrial safety and growing manufacturing hub in the North America region is one of the key factors driving the consumption of thermochromic materials in this region. Moreover, the growth of packaging, printing & coating, the medical manufacturing industry in key countries such as the US and Canada are also propelling the growth of thermochromic materials in the North America region. Asia-Pacific accounted for the highest CAGR in the global thermochromic materials market during the forecast period.Company Profiles and Competitive Intelligence:The major players operating in the global thermochromic materials market are Matsui International Company (US), LCR Hallcrest (US), OliKrom (France), Chromatic Technologies (CTI) (US), New Prisematic Enterprise (Taiwan), Smarol Industry (China), Hali Industrial (China), Kolortek (China), Kolorjet (India), and GEM'INNOV (France) among others.
