Thermochromism refers to a material's ability to change color due to a temperature change. The word is based on the thermos, meaning temperature and chromic, meaning color. Thermochromic materials can change their color depending on a wide range of temperatures. They can be created using liquid crystals, metal compounds or semiconductor compounds.
The increasing demand for smart packaging across various industries drives global thermochromic materials demand. However, the higher cost of thermochromic materials is a significant market restraint.
Increasing demand for smart packaging across various industries
Smart packaging has become popular recently due to the rapid advancement of technology. Preserving the authenticity of genuine products has been one of the major uses of smart packaging. Many businesses have adopted smart packaging to protect authenticity due to the rise in counterfeiting rates in recent years.
Reversible thermochromic materials are used in smart packaging to create subtly changing vivid color combinations that are unique and unlikely for imitators to imitate. In tamper-proof packaging, thermochromic materials have also been widely used. The seal is made of irreversible thermochromic material, which permanently changes color when tampering is attempted.
Smart packaging is becoming increasingly prevalent for the long-distance delivery of frozen foods and fresh produce. The packaging contains thermochromic material, which subtly changes color when a specific temperature is reached to signal the possibility of product spoilage. Since thermochromic materials are an essential component of many smart packaging materials, the demand for smart packaging is a major factor in expanding the global thermochromic materials market.
The food industry and cold chain distribution have significantly contributed to smart packaging due to shifting consumer demands for healthier, safer, higher-quality products. The products could be concealed from the effects of the environment, their quality or safety could be predicted and they could communicate with the consumer as a marketing tool.
Higher cost of thermochromic materials
A technological field that is rapidly developing is thermochromic materials. To create new thermochromic materials, one only needs to understand chemistry and materials thoroughly. In order to create a suitable research division, businesses must hire hundreds of skilled workers at competitive wages. Additionally, the use of advanced machinery and equipment is necessary for the research and development process, which increases the expense.
It takes years to develop new thermochromic materials because different configurations and parameters must be checked and the material's behavior must be assessed at various temperatures. Before the product can be sold, it must also receive approval from several regulatory bodies. The manufacturing process for thermochromic materials is distinct from other materials, which drives up the cost. The respective fact is expected to hamper the market growth over the forecast period.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been a public health concern since December 2019. COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, affecting 213 countries and territories worldwide. Several countries, including China, India, France, Spain, Denmark, Italy, Austria, New Zealand, Poland, UK and the Czech Republic, have placed harsh economic restrictions. Over a third of the world's population is quarantined during this pandemic.
Thermochromic materials were in high demand for healthcare, pharmaceuticals, e-commerce and grocery delivery, partially making up for decreased demand from industrial clients. Consumers' desires have compounded this trend to hoard and their frantic purchasing of medicines, food, beverages and home-care essentials. However, the market for thermochromic materials in nonfood and premium goods suffered as stores were forced to close and consumers began to reduce spending.
The COVID outbreak caused disarray in most industrial markets as governments implemented lockdown measures globally. The demand for construction and associated markets, such as the thermochromic materials market, sharply fell as the global GDP fell dramatically and sales in the manufacturing sector fell precipitously. The outbreak caused a decrease in demand for thermochromic materials in roof coating applications. However, in the post-COVID market landscape, manufacturers' government initiatives and strategic actions are projected to increase the global thermochromic materials market.
The global thermochromic materials market is classified based on type, material, application and region.
A wide variety of color choices and easy application boost the demand for liquid crystals in the global thermochromic materials market
Leuco dyes are more frequently employed on textiles in the design disciplines and are available in various forms, including dispersion (ink concentrate/pigment), powder or plastic pellets. The ingredients used in organic leuco dye mixes are frequently utilized because they exhibit color transition characteristics when exposed to various temperatures.
Typically, leuco dye-based thermochromic materials consist of a matrix component, an electron acceptor (developer) and a chromogenic substance that donates electrons (leuco dye) (solvent). The most prevalent chromogenic substances that donate electrons are phenylmethane and fluoran derivatives with a lactone ring moiety. When the lactone ring is closed, these so-called leuco dyes or colorants are colorless or weakly yellow-colored. Additionally organic leuco dye combinations are utilized in medical, packaging, printing and coating because they are strong, long-lasting and affordable compared to other materials. Its suitability for usage in various applications results from these attributes, which is the main driver of its market expansion throughout the anticipated timeframe.
Thermochromic materials made of leuco dyes are specialized dynamic materials that change color when heated or cooled. The majority of the time, they are combined with other pigments. The base pigment's color and the pigment blended with leuco dyes change as a result. Leuco dyes can be found in several forms, including dispersion (ink concentrate/pigment), powder or plastic pellets and they turn colorless as their temperature rises. Although they are utilized in other fields, these are more frequently used on textiles in the design disciplines. However, inks have been produced for different printing or coating techniques and bath dyeing methods. They are frequently screen-printed with the proper binder systems. Other methods of application are transfer and spray coating. Thermochromic plastic goods can be made and extruded as masterbatches when combined with other polymers.
Due to the product's availability in various forms, experimentation with combining it with various binders, coatings and polymers can be applied in more intriguing or experimental ways to a wider variety of materials. Leuco dyes are used for various purposes, including bath toys, novelties, flying discs, consumer items and fabrics, where temperature response precision is not essential.
