Thermochromic Materials Market To Reach $8.78 Billion By 2030

January 2025 | Report Format: Electronic (PDF)

Thermochromic Materials Market Growth & Trends

The global thermochromic materials market size is estimated to reach USD 8.78 billion by 2030, registering to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2024 to 2030 according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The growing demand for reversible thermochromic materials in application industries is expected to drive demand over the forecast period.

Growing demand for thermochromic materials in food quality indicators to determine the quality of frozen meat and dairy products coupled with the increasing use of thermochromic pigments in inks, paints, and coatings is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period.

Color diversity, cost-effectiveness, and manufacturing process flexibility are some of the major advantages of thermochromic materials. As a result, the demand for thermochromic pigments in novelty products is increasing significantly. In addition, the use of reversible temperature-sensitive materials in baby products and sensors is expected to aid growth over the next eight years.

Complex chemical formulation coupled with the difficulty in maintaining the formulation stability of reversible thermochromic materials is expected to hamper the demand for the materials over the forecast period. However, constant research & development projects undertaken by the manufacturers are expected to aid in the development of stable reversible materials, which in turn is likely to attract demand from the application industries.
