 Industry Outlook.svg)
Product Definition:
A paper optical brightener (paper optical brightening agent) is a substance that is used in papermaking to improve the appearance of the paper by increasing its brightness. Paper optical brighteners are typically small molecules that absorb ultraviolet light and re-emit it as visible blue light. This makes the paper look whiter and brighter.
Cotton:
Cotton is a soft and fluffy staple fiber that has high tensile strength. It is usually white in color but can come in shades ranging from cream to brown. Cotton can be processed into yarn or spun into fibers which are used for various applications such as clothing, textile, paper making, carpeting and insulation among others. The growth factor responsible for the optical brightening properties of cotton is known as bromelain enzyme.
Silk:
Silk is a protein fiber derived from the cocoon of the silkworm. The raw material for manufacturing silk is obtained from the caterpillar that secretes an enzyme to digest its cocoon. After collection, the threads are separated and processed into mulberry leaves which are then dried. The extracted liquid is treated with chemicals to make it white and soft so that it can be woven into fabrics or used as a coating on paper & cardboards.
Application Insights:
The application segment includes protection, religion, sanitation, fashion and others. The protection segment dominated the global paper optical brighteners market in 2017 owing to increasing demand for security papers and banknotes. In addition, growing concerns regarding environmental pollution coupled with rising awareness about health hazards associated with indoor lighting are expected to drive the demand for paper optical brighteners over the forecast period.
The fashion industry is another major end-user of these products as they help maintain color consistency across all printings and prevent color bleeding into other areas when used as recommended by the manufacturer.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global paper optical brighteners market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing awareness regarding health, safety, and environmental protection. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with growing middle-class population in developing countries such as China and India has led to an increase in consumer spending on luxury lifestyle products such as handbags, shoes, clothing among others. This trend is projected to positively influence product demand over the next eight years.
The Asia Pacific regional market was estimated at USD X million in 2017 owing to high consumption from textile application followed by religion & spirituality application segment due mainly to rapid urbanization & industrialization along with a rise in disposable income especially for middle-class population groups across emerging economies including China and India which are major consumers of these products including paper optical brighteners (PB).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high brightness papers in the printing and packaging industries
- Rising consumption of optical brightening agents in the textile industry
- Growing popularity of fluorescent whitening agents in detergents and cleaning products
- Proliferation of digital printing technology
- Increasing awareness about the benefits of using optical brighteners
