Booming Textile and Cosmetics Industries to Provide Substantial Growth Opportunities

The textile industry is one of the most prominent consumers of a variety of optical brighteners. In the past few years, the flourishing growth achieved by the textile industry, especially across emerging economies such as India and China, has greatly influenced the total global demand for optical brighteners. According to the Indian Ministry of Textiles, the textile industry in the country is expected to expand at a strong CAGR of 11% over the period between 2009 and 2020, aiding the increased consumption of optical brighteners in the Asia Pacific market.

The market for optical brighteners is also expected to substantially benefit from the booming cosmetic industry globally. Rising disposable incomes and a vast surge in the global demand for skincare and suncare products have encouraged the growth of the global cosmetics market in the past few years. Being another prominent consumer of optical brighteners, the growth of the cosmetics industry has in turn also boosted the overall global intake of optical brighteners.

Stringent government regulations pertaining to the usage or exclusion of certain chemicals in consumer products owing to their potential health hazards on the user have resulted in complete bans on certain chemicals or have restricted the usage per product of some.

Along with this, the declining paper industry has also had severe implications on the overall development of the global optical brighteners market. The rising use of smart technologies such as computers, smartphones, and tablets across a number of industrial applications and processes have significantly reduced the amount of paper that was traditionally required to maintain records. The paper industry being one of the key consumer of optical brighteners, decline in its growth prospects has also dented growth opportunities of the global optical brighteners market.
