DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global daylight fluorescent pigments market size was valued at USD 0.35 billion in 2025 and is expected to reach USD 0.81 billion by 2034, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 9.79% from 2025 to 2034.

The United States Daylight Fluorescent Pigments Market size is projected at USD 0.1 Billion in 2025, the Europe Daylight Fluorescent Pigments Market size is projected at USD 0.08 Billion in 2025, and the China Daylight Fluorescent Pigments Market size is projected at USD 0.14 Billion in 2025.

A radiant substance naturally gives fluorescent color, known as daylight fluorescent pigments. It doesn’t need any artificial reflected colored light. It transforms the intangible UV daylight component into visible light, making traditional colors look much weaker and less bright. This pigment increases the light density to the fixed wavelengths. 

The colored organic polymers that make up the daylight fluorescent pigments are designed to act as solvents for the fluorescence dyestuff. The dyes do not glow when they are not dissolved. Fluorescent pigments are created when dyes are dissolved in thermoset and thermoplastic carrier resin and then powdered. Nevertheless, there aren't many fluorescent dyes on the market that can be turned into pigments. When exposed to UV light, the fluorescent color shines brighter and is more noticeable than other colors.

DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENTS MARKET KEY FINDINGS

COVID-19 IMPACT

Shutdown of Delivery and Manufacturing Industries Hampered Growth

The pandemic led to disruptions in the global supply chain, affecting the manufacturing and delivery of the product. Many manufacturers have faced delays in receiving components and raw materials and challenges in transporting finished products to their customers. This has resulted in longer lead times and higher costs for the product. Moreover, the pandemic has also caused economic uncertainty and financial constraints, which has led some end-users to delay or cancel their investment in the daylight fluorescent pigments market. 

LATEST TRENDS

Rising Consumption of Cosmetics to Bolster Market Growth 

The demand for fluorescent pigments is rising due to their application in the cosmetic industry. These pigments are used for imparting bright colors and increasing product visibility. The consumption of cosmetics is constantly increasing. The major demand for the product is registered from the cosmetics industry. Thus, this industry is estimated to play a significant role in the development of the daylight fluorescent pigments market. It is used as a colorant in lipstick and other cosmetics. These factors are estimated to boost market growth in the foreseeable future.

• Daylight fluorescent pigments are increasingly used in road safety and traffic management due to their high visibility. According to the U.S. Federal Highway Administration, approximately 42,000 lives are lost annually in road accidents, prompting the use of high-visibility pigments in safety vests and traffic signs. In 2023, over 68 million kilograms of fluorescent pigment-based materials were consumed in global road safety equipment.

• The textile industry is witnessing higher adoption of daylight fluorescent pigments for sportswear and fashion. According to the India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the Indian textile and apparel exports reached $44.4 billion in FY2022, with nearly 7.5% of that attributed to high-visibility and performance fabrics, driving pigment demand in the region.

DAYLIGHT FLUORESCENT PIGMENTS MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type Analysis

By type, the market is segmented into thermoset types, thermoplastic types, and others (such as aqueous dispersion and others).

By Application Analysis

Based on application, the market is classified into the paints & coatings industry, the printing inks industry, the plastic industry, and others.

DRIVING FACTORS

Expanding Population to Cater to Product Demand

Daylight fluorescent pigments are widely used in industries such as in toys, nail paints, traffic cones, and others. Things seen in your day-to-day life are made of such pigments. The rise in population is leading to a higher demand for toys, ultimately boosting the demand for the product. A growing population is expected to surge the demand for nail paints and other such products. Additionally, consumer preference and taste rapidly shift towards fluorescent colors, which is anticipated to prosper a major part in the daylight fluorescent pigments market growth.

• Governments across regions are mandating the use of high-visibility pigments for industrial safety. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), over 33% of workplace accidents in the U.S. occur due to low visibility, which has led to mandatory fluorescent safety gear in over 1.4 million registered U.S. construction firms.

• According to the Packaging Industry Association of India (PIAI), more than 61% of consumers are influenced by packaging color. Brands are now investing in daylight fluorescent pigments for promotional and packaging appeal, contributing to the consumption of over 23,000 tons of pigment-enhanced materials in 2023 globally.

Product Application in The Paints and Coating Industry to Offer Growth Opportunities

Due to their prominent light-emitting properties, daylight fluorescent pigments are used in various applications in the coating and paint industry. The demand for these pigments is on the rise from the paints and coatings industry, which would further boost daylight fluorescent pigment market growth. Moreover, the companies are spending on developing other fluorescent pigments, which is likely to gain traction in the market. 

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Cost of Raw Materials to Obstruct Market Growth

The raw materials of daylight fluorescent pigments are expensive, which is estimated to retard major growth in the market. Moreover, these raw materials are unavailable easily, which challenges the key manufacturers and, thus, results in resistance to market growth. Furthermore, these pigments comprise harmful heavy metals such as cadmium, lead, and arsenic. These metals are harmful to the environment, and thus, the government implemented various regulations which hindered market expansion rate.

• Fluorescent pigments often contain compounds that are non-biodegradable. According to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), over 9,500 metric tons of pigment waste annually are classified as non-compliant with EU environmental safety norms, restricting their use in eco-sensitive regions.

• The raw materials for producing daylight fluorescent pigments, such as formaldehyde and melamine, saw a 14% price increase in 2023 alone, according to the China National Chemical Information Center (CNCIC). This cost surge limits adoption by small and medium-scale manufacturers globally.
