Market Overview:
The global photographic film processing 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 digital photography and the rising number of photo enthusiasts across the globe. In addition, technological advancements in photographic film processing chemicals are also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, sodium thiosulfate accounted for a major share of the global photographic film processing chemicals market in 2017. This can be attributed to its properties such as high purity and low toxicity that make it an ideal choice for use in photographic films. Sodium hydroxide is another key type of photographic film processing chemical and is used extensively in developing black-and-white films.
Product Definition:
The chemicals used in the processing of photographic film are important because they help to develop the image that has been captured on the film.
Sodium Thiosulfate:
Sodium thiosulfate is a chemical compound used in the processing of photographic films. It helps to reduce the silver content in photographs and increases their sensitivity by enhancing the light absorption properties of silver halides. The product also aids in reducing graininess and improving sharpness, color saturation, contrast, and clarity.
Sodium Hydroxide:
Sodium hydroxide is a chemical compound, which is primarily used in the processing of photographic films. It may also be utilized as an herbicide and for wood pulp production. The product has significant use in various end-use industries such as textiles, paper & paperboard manufacturing, leather tanning & dyeing and metal cleaning among others.
Application Insights:
The consumer application segment accounted for the largest revenue share of over 60.0% in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth during the forecast period. The growing popularity of social media has led to an increase in photography as a hobby, which has subsequently boosted demand for processed films across the globe.
Photographic film is sensitive to light and when exposed correctly, it captures images that can be later be developed by a chemical solution or photographic emulsion. The image on a photographic film travels through several stages from capture through development before it finally emerges on paper or another medium such as an electronic screen or digital device display. This entire process requires various chemicals that are used in different combinations depending upon type of film processed, kind of developer used along with other processing parameters such as temperature & pressure etc., which ultimately determines the end result - image quality & exposure accuracy etc., all factors contributing towards overall market growth during this study period (2017-2030).
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 color photographic films from consumers and businesses. In addition, rising number of photo finishing centers in the U.S.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to be one of fastest growing regions during the forecast period owing to rapid urbanization coupled with increasing disposable income levels among consumers especially in China.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-quality images and videos
- Rising number of professional photographers and photo studios
- Proliferation of digital photography
- Growing popularity of film photography among hobbyists and enthusiasts
- Technological advancements in photographic film processing chemicals
