Market Overview:
The global photo darkroom chemicals market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for photography services, especially in developing countries. In addition, the growing popularity of digital photography is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, film developers accounted for a major share of the global photo darkroom chemicals market in 2017. This segment is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period owing to increased demand for black-and-white films and traditional photographic processes.
Product Definition:
The chemicals used in a photo darkroom are designed to develop photographic film and make prints from negatives. The most important function of these chemicals is to produce accurate images with correct tonal range and color reproduction.
Film Developers:
Developers are chemicals or liquid solutions that increase the sensitivity of photographic films for light. They can be used in two ways, firstly to boost the overall exposure by making the image lighter and secondly to reduce (or control) the amount of light falling on the film by making it denser.
Print (Paper) Developers:
Developers are chemicals used in the paper to bring out the latent image and make it visible. There are different types of developers available in the market, which react with silver bromide or gelatin to produce a black and white photographic print. The common types of developers include ammonium thiosulphate, lead nitrate, calcium carbonate, sodium carbonite and zinc chloride.
Application Insights:
The personal photography studio segment dominated the global photo darkroom chemicals market in 2017. This can be attributed to a rise in demand for developing and printing films at home, which is a cost-effective alternative as compared to going to the photobooth or shooting photos with friends at parties and events. Additionally, consumers are preferring digital photography over film photography due to ease of use and convenience. However, commercial photographers continue using film cameras owing to their superior picture quality along with features such as manual controls that offer more flexibility than digital counterparts.
Commercial applications include print (paper) development services offered by photographic labs or camera stores for customers who have photographs printed on paper stock ranging from 8 x 10 inches up till 5 feet wide depending upon the output required by the customer.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to witness a growth rate of 4.8% over the forecast period, owing to increasing demand for darkroom chemicals from U.S., Canada, and Mexico on account of rising number of personal studios set up by individuals as well as commercial spaces such as malls and theatres using photography services for promotional activities or advertisements.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of the fastest-growing regions during the forecast period owing to growing awareness regarding benefits offered by digital imaging coupled with presence of developing countries such as India, China, Japan etc.; which are majorly populated by technically skilled people having strong interest in visual arts including photography; thus offering lucrative opportunities for Photo Darkroom Chemicals manufacturers over next eight years (2018 - 2030).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-quality and customized photo products
- Proliferation of digital photography and online photo sharing platforms
- Growing popularity of darkroom printing among photography enthusiasts
- Rising number of professional photographers and photo studios
- Technological advancements in photographic chemicals and equipment
