Fluorescent paint is a form of a coating that emits visible or colored light when exposed to light. Fluorescent paints are utilized in paints and coatings, plastics, fabrics, paper goods, and leather goods, among others. It comprises two components, fluorescent paint that absorbs ultraviolet or blue light and re-emits it as visible light with a different wavelength (color). This sort of paint color emits light without the aid of an external source.

Fluorescent paint refers to paint that can absorb both visible and non-visible electromagnetic waves and radiation and then swiftly release the absorbed energy at the required wavelength. When the light of the expected wavelength is released onto this paint, it also emits a very particular hue. On a commercial scale, fluorescent paint has been utilized in a variety of applications, including the formulation of paint and coating solutions, inks, and textiles, to mention a few. There are two forms of fluorescent paint used commercially: organic and inorganic, which are derived from distinct sources. Organic fluorescent paint is made from natural and synthetic basic materials, while inorganic fluorescent paint is synthesized by combining various metal oxides. Both varieties are commercially accessible in powder and dispersion form, with formulations tailored to the requirements of the end-user industry.

Most fluorescent paints can withstand demanding applications due to their remarkable properties, such as resilience to adverse weather conditions, high temperatures, heat, and other chemicals. These characteristics facilitate the use of this fluorescent paint in a variety of applications. Similarly, this fluorescent paint is used as a colorant for engineering plastics in the automotive industry.

Increasing demand from building and construction industry

The construction industry’s demand for fluorescent paint for applications such as building paints, coatings, sign markings, and road lines is increasing. In commercial structures, luminous pigments or paints are utilized for coatings, markings, ornamentation, and sign marks. Fluorescent paints have applications in the construction industry for artificial lighting such as stage lighting, posters, and others. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, construction spending in the United States increased by 1.3% from December 2021 to January 2022, reaching $1,677 billion. Moreover, the increase in construction and infrastructure projects is boosting the market for fluorescent paint, creating development potential for market participants.

Fluorescent Paints provide superior features such as resistance to oil, water, grime, and corrosion. In developing regions, the number of new roadways and infrastructure projects has led to a rise in the use of fluorescent paints for a variety of applications, such as regulatory, emergency, and warning signs. Numerous countries around the globe have begun to work on the design and implementation of smart cities. China alone has around 300 smart city projects in development, with substantial industry and government participation. India has also allocated trillions of dollars for the development of more than 100 smart cities. Transportation is a crucial aspect of a smart city. Increasing demand for fluorescent paints to construct intelligent highways is driving the market for fluorescent paints.

Innovation is the key to generating new items, and as a result, alternatives begin to hamper market expansion. Increased use of phosphors with no radium content, such as copper-magnesium, copper, and silver, in conjunction with activators such as copper, copper-magnesium, and silver, is impacting the growth of the fluorescent paint market. The thin layer is utilized so that light can absorb itself. Fluorescent paints are expensive due to their lengthy illuminating life and hazardous due to their use of radioactive materials.

The invention of fluorescent paints led to their application in various industries and for various reasons. The use of gadgets that do not require additional electrical power for visibility in all conditions is expanding, and these can be utilized in remote places where the electrical power supply is limited. The helicopter's primary and tail rotors are painted with fluorescent paint to improve its visibility. The tail rotors are hazardous due to their rapid rotation and invisibility, especially when the vision limit is reached. According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the total aircraft fleet reached 24,500 by the end of the year, up from approximately 8,000 at the year's low point in April, but 18% lower than in 2019. The global fleet is not expected to return to pre-COVID levels until at least the end of 2022, but long-term projections show a recovery for the industry. Thus, expanding applications in the military and aviation sectors will create lucrative market opportunities for fluorescent.

The fluorescent paint market is segmented into type, application, and region. Depending on the type, the market is divided into Inorganic fluorescents, optical whiteners, and daylight fluorescents. On the basis of application, it is categorized into safety equipment, commercial buildings, road line markings, facilities, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

The major players operating in the global fluorescent paint market are Radiant Color N.V., LuminoChem, Ronan Paints, Glow Paint Industries, GLOWTEC LTD, Krylon Products Group, DayGlo Color Corp, Brilliant Group, Inc., Aron Universal Limited, and Vicome Corp. Other players operating in the market are Midstar, Xcolor, DANE Color Group and Solar Color Dust.

The daylight fluorescents segment accounted for the largest share and is the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 7.0%, The characteristic of luminosity is provided by the daylight fluorescent material when the fluorescent color emits light. Daylight fluorescent paints are non-toxic and are utilized due to their ability to attract attention and provide extremely high visibility. These pigments are utilized in advertising, protective gear, documentation, inks, and several biomedical applications.

The road line markings segment accounted for the largest share, due to raising awareness through signals, sign boards, and important messages, mandating respect to traffic laws, and other approaches such as organizing awareness camps are all examples of road safety initiatives. Signboards are the most commonly used approach, mostly for preventing traffic accidents and mishaps. Because roads are the most common mode of transportation, users such as bicycles, pedestrians, and motor vehicle drivers are in danger of collisions. Because of measures such as sidewalks, safe crossing sites, bike lanes, rumble strips, and other traffic calming measures, the demand for road line marking has significantly increased.

The safety equipment segment is the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 7.4%, Fluorescent paints are used to paint or paint clothing that is subsequently worn as safety equipment. Fluorescent-coated clothing helps to decrease workplace accidents and injuries by making workers visible to one another. The usage of worker safety equipment on construction sites or in dangerous conditions, such as those near roadways, in the dark, or where personnel may be obstructed by trees and traffic barriers, is becoming more common in the industrial sector.

Asia-Pacific garnered the largest share. China and India are boosting demand in Asia-Pacific due to the expansion of transportation and infrastructure developments. Strong and healthy growth in the infrastructural sector is related with the expansion of government projects, such as the Indian government's plan to construct highways worth Rs. 15 lakh crore ($204,000 million) over the next two years. Numerous infrastructure development projects necessitate the use of fluorescent paints for road safety signs, markings, emergency signs, and others. This has resulted in the expansion of the market for fluorescent paint in the Asia-Pacific region.
