Photocatalyst Market to Grow with a CAGR of 6.98% through 2030F
Rising demand for purification applications is expected to drive Global Photocatalyst market in the forecast period 2026-2030F
According to
TechSci Research report, “Photocatalyst Market - Global Industry Size,
Share, Trends, Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Global
Photocatalyst Market was valued at USD 2.84 Billion in 2024 and is expected to
reach USD 4.22 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.98%.
The
photocatalyst market has seen remarkable technological advancements from 2020
to 2030, focusing on enhancing efficiency, broadening applications, and
improving sustainability. One major breakthrough is the development of
visible-light-activated photocatalysts, shifting from traditional UV-dependent
systems like titanium dioxide to doped variants with metals such as nitrogen or
carbon. These innovations allow operation under indoor lighting or sunlight,
expanding use in air purification and self-cleaning surfaces, as demonstrated
by research in nanocomposites that increase surface area for better pollutant
degradation.
Advancements
in nanomaterial engineering have led to hybrid photocatalysts combining
semiconductors like zinc oxide with graphene or quantum dots, boosting charge
separation and reducing recombination losses. This has improved performance in
water treatment, where photocatalytic reactors now efficiently remove organic
contaminants and pathogens, supported by policies promoting clean water
technologies. In the construction sector, self-cleaning coatings with enhanced
durability have been developed, incorporating silica or polymer matrices to
withstand weathering, as seen in products for building facades and solar
panels.
The
integration of photocatalysts into textiles and paints represents another key
progress, with antibacterial properties achieved through silver-doped
formulations for healthcare applications. Innovations in scalable production
methods, such as sol-gel synthesis and spray coating, have lowered costs and
enabled mass adoption. For renewable energy, advancements in photocatalytic
hydrogen production using visible-light catalysts like cadmium sulfide
composites have gained traction, aligning with global decarbonization goals.
Research
into bio-inspired designs, mimicking natural photosynthesis, has yielded
efficient systems for CO2 reduction, contributing to climate mitigation
efforts. Collaborative projects between academia and industry have accelerated
these developments, with patents focusing on multi-functional photocatalysts
for simultaneous purification and energy generation. As the market evolves,
these advancements are expected to drive adoption in emerging fields like
wearable devices and smart cities, ensuring the photocatalyst sector remains at
the forefront of environmental innovation.
