Thermochromic Materials Market: Manufacturers Leverage Product Differentiation to Bolster Positions

Prominent manufacturers in the global thermochromic materials market are OliKrom, Good Life Innovations Ltd, Matsui International Company, QCR Solutions Corp., New Color Chemical Co., Hali Industrial Co. Ltd., LCR Hallcrest, Ltd (NCC), Gem’innov, Smarol Industrial Co. Ltd., CTI (Chromatic Technologies), and L’Arca Srl.

There is solid competition among the players in the global thermocromic materials market. One of the key strategies adopted by manufacturers to beat competition is product differentiation. Use of special effect inks such as thermochromic and photochromic inks is in line with latest marketing trends that emphasizes upon consumer and brand intercativity.
As per a report by Transparency Market Research, the global market for thermochromic materials will clock a solid 9.3% CAGR from 2017 to 2025 to become worth US$2.174 bn in 2025 from US$.988 bn in 2016.
Demand from Smart Textiles and Smart Packaging Market Makes North America Market Leader
Depending upon the type of thermochromism, the two broad segments of the global thermochromic materials are reversible and irreversible. Of the two, the reversible segment accounts for maximum share in the market. In 2016, the segment’s dominant share came to a substantial 60% in the market. Reversible thermochromic materials find application in bath toys, textiles, baby diapers, battery gauges, etc. Their demand primarily stems from the fact that irreversible thermochromic materials are limited to single-use as they fail to return to their original color on reversing the temperature.
Based on geography, the key segments of the global thermochromic materials are North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. North America, among them, holds a dominant share in the market. In 2016, it held almost a third of market share. In the years ahead, the region will likely grow its dominant share slightly to 34.8% on the back of demand for thermochromic materials from the smart textiles and smart packaging markets.

Wide Array of End-use Industries Drive up Demand
Thermochromic materials find application in different end-use industries. Their market is being driven by the demand for smart textiles from the fashion and home furnishing industry. Some such applications are tablecloths that change color upon contact with hot items on the table, ski outfits, chairs whose color indicates where a person has been sitting, and apparels having a particular motif painted on them that changes color. Thermochromic textiles can also be used as flexible sensors for functional usage for applications such as security or camouflage. Thermochromic inks are applied on packaging products for labelling, security printing, and for promotional activities.
Market Hobbled by Poor Light Fastness of Thermochromic Materials
The global thermochromic materials market, on the other hand, is restrained by a major drawback of thermochromic materials, i.e., they generally exhibit poor light fastness. Such materials degrade in the presence of UV rays and undergo photochemical fading. In addition, thermochromic inks are more expensive than conventional inks. This is because manufacturing of thermochromic materials is highly specialized and complex. “Moreover, to thwart accidental activation during printing, specialized printing processes may be required to print with an irreversible thermochromic ink which increases costs significantly. Companies using thermochromic inks for packaging in case of direct food contact need to meet regulatory guidelines and undertake specific testing in order to ensure that thermochromic inks are compliant with the regulatory standards. This serves to add to costs and delay introduction of new products,” adds the lead analyst of the report.
The report segments the global thermochromic materials market as follows:
Global Thermochromic Materials Market, by Type
  • Reversible
  • Irreversible

This review is based on the findings of a TMR report, titled, “Thermochromic Materials Market (Type - Reversible and Irreversible) - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025.”

Superabrasives (Turning, Cutting, Buffing, Drilling, Boring, Grinding) Market Research Report 2025

An abrasive is a material which molds or provides finishing to a work piece through a process which includes buffing, grinding, cutting, as well as polishing. Abrasion typically depends on the difference in the hardness of the material and the abrasive (with the latter being the harder of the two). Unlike regular abrasion where any two solid materials that repeatedly rub against each other tend to wear away, superabrasives possess the kind of hardness that enables them to stay usable for a longer period of time. On the basis of hardness, the top two superabrasives include diamond and cubic boron nitride (CBN). Industrial diamonds used as superabrasives are exceptionally hard materials. However, they display several technological limitations. For instance, when a diamond comes in contact with a ferrous alloy such as steel or a nickel superalloy, the resulting formation of carbide leads to its abrasion. Also, a diamond-containing tool can only be used at moderate temperatures a...

Industrial Lubricants Market: Strong Demand Across Automotive Industry, Trends To 2025

Lubricants refer to the organic or inorganic material primarily being use to decrease friction between two surfaces in contact. Lubricants play a key role in several industries as well as in commercial and residential sectors. One of their most common uses is in the lubrication of bearings and gears, allowing for their easy movement at high speeds, without loss in energy, prevent excessive generation of heat, or most importantly, prevent damage that would be caused otherwise. Industrial lubricants are, therefore, essential in enhancing the overall efficiency of a machine that contains moving parts in contact with one another. The global industrial lubricants market is currently expanding at a solid growth rate, driven by several factors and spearheaded by the likes of BP, Total, Chevron Corporation, ExxonMobil, and Shell.

Rapid Prototyping Market - Rapidly Gaining Importance in Aerospace Sector, Research By 2024

Rapid prototyping is a technique in which the physical modeling of a design is done with the help of specialized machining technology. It was developed initially in the mid-1980s, the principle used in this technology is of solid modeling with the help of computer programs (i.e. CAD). Solid modeling makes use of computer aided-design (CAD) data to completely describe not just the external shape of parts or equipment, but its interior volume as well as the outside surfaces. The computer model is sliced into thin layers and the part of the product or commodity to be modelled or developed as per the requirement, is eventually fabricated by adding layers onto each other. Obtain Report Details @   http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/rapid-prototyping-market.html The primary benefit of the system is that almost any shape can be manufactured using computerized programs. Time and money savings vary from 50% to 90% compared to conventional systems. Types of rapid proto...
