Light-absorbing Dyes Market Definition
The light-absorbing dyes market is a prominent sector of the chemical industry. This industry deals with the manufacturing and distribution of dyes that can absorb light from the ultraviolet and near-infrared spectrum. There are several types of light-absorbing dyes available in the market, including cyanine dyes, disperse dyes, metal complex dyes, specific wavelength absorbing dyes, and some others. The various unique properties of these dyes include being a chromophore, solubility, conjugated system, wash fastness, and some others. This market is expected to rise significantly with the growth in the paints and coatings industry across the world.
- In September 2024, EssilorLuxottica launched Ray-Ban Change. Ray-Ban Change is an eyewear that is designed using light-absorbing dyes.
The growing application of laser protection, laser welding, and chemical sensing, along with the increased use of NIR dyes in security markings, has fostered market growth. Also, the rising usage of these dyes in telecommunication and digital printing is likely to shape the industry in a positive direction. Moreover, the increasing use of light-absorbing dyes in optical filters, heat-shielding materials, sensor applications, welding protective eyewear, and some others is anticipated to boost the growth of the light-absorbing dyes market. Advancements in organic dyes, along with developments associated with ruthenium-based dyes, are expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market players in the future.
