Report Code : CVMI2501254 | Published Date : March 3, 2025
1 | Market Overview
Photocatalytic materials and coatings utilize substances—primarily titanium dioxide (TiO₂), zinc oxide (ZnO), and tungsten oxide (WO₃)—that activate under light to induce oxidation-reduction reactions. These reactions degrade pollutants, eliminate microbes, and prevent the buildup of organic matter. The coatings are applied to surfaces in buildings, vehicles, solar panels, textiles, and industrial systems to provide air purification, self-cleaning, and antimicrobial benefits.
Photocatalytic materials are essential for passive environmental remediation and smart coatings, particularly in urban architecture, healthcare infrastructure, and transportation. Their ability to function without energy input supports long-term sustainability goals and aligns with green building practices.
