The photocatalyst market comprises materials, primarily titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, that accelerate chemical reactions under light, used in air and water purification, self-cleaning surfaces, and environmental sustainability applications globally. The global photocatalyst market is witnessing significant growth, driven by increasing environmental concerns and demand for sustainable solutions across construction, water treatment, and air purification sectors. Nano-textured TiO2 coatings are widely adopted in buildings to reduce cleaning costs and improve air quality, while visible-light-responsive films expand applications to shaded and indoor areas. Municipalities increasingly use solar-driven photocatalytic systems for water and wastewater treatment, achieving high degradation rates of pesticides and contaminants without external power. Stricter indoor-air VOC regulations are boosting demand for photocatalytic air purifiers in offices, schools, and vehicles. Additionally, innovations in plasmonic nanocomposites and Ag/AgCl-based coatings enable self-cleaning, antibacterial surfaces for consumer electronics. Asia Pacific dominates the market due to rapid urbanization, strong government initiatives, and high R&D activity, particularly in Japan. Despite challenges such as high capital costs and catalyst deactivation, ongoing technological advancements and rising awareness are expected to drive widespread adoption over the forecast period.
The titanium dioxide segment dominated the market in 2024, approximately 62.2% and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the material, the photocatalyst market is divided into titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and others. Among these, the titanium dioxide segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The titanium dioxide (TiO2) segment dominates the photocatalyst market due to its high photocatalytic efficiency, chemical stability, non-toxicity, and broad applicability across industries. TiO2 is extensively used in air and water purification, self-cleaning coatings, and building materials, offering superior performance under UV and visible light. Its cost-effectiveness and established manufacturing infrastructure further strengthen its market position. Continuous R&D efforts to enhance TiO2’s visible-light responsiveness and integration into innovative applications ensure sustained dominance and drive overall market growth.
The self-cleaning segment accounted for the largest share in 2024, approximately 60.5% and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
Based on the application, the photocatalyst market is divided into self-cleaning, air purification, and water purification. Among these, the self-cleaning segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The self-cleaning segment holds the largest share in the photocatalyst market, driven by rising demand for low-maintenance, durable surfaces in construction, automotive, and consumer electronics.
