The LED industry develops steadily and the market demand for light diffusing agents rises

Light diffusing agent is a microsphere product developed using polymer polymerization technology through cross-linking, grafting functional groups and other means. Light diffusing agents can be added to many resins, such as PC, PVC, PS, PMMA, PET, etc., as well as LEDs, to improve light scattering and transmission, making the resin transparent and opaque.

There are many types of light diffusing agents, which can be mainly divided into inorganic light diffusing agents and organic light diffusing agents. Inorganic products include silica, nano-barium sulfate, etc. They are solid microspheres and their light transmittance is affected, so their application The range is limited; organic products include acrylic type, styrene type, etc., which have good light transmittance, have little impact on the light transmittance of the material, and have a wide range of applications.

According to the “China Light Diffusion Agent Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2021-2025” released by the Industrial Research Center , currently light diffusing agents are mainly used in light boxes, lampshades, cosmetic bottles, LEDs, digital tubes and other fields, among which the LED field has a high demand for light diffusing agents. The overall market size of my country’s LED industry has maintained a growth trend in the past five years. It was approximately 522 billion yuan in 2016 and reached 755 billion yuan in 2019. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, the scale of the domestic LED industry was reduced to about 700 billion yuan. Benefiting from the development of the LED industry, my country’s light diffusing agent market demand has shown a growth trend, and the market size has also increased accordingly. In 2017, my country’s light diffusing agent market size was 2.4 billion yuan, reaching 3.1 billion yuan by 2020, and in the first half of 2021 reached 1.8 billion yuan.

my country’s light diffusing agent market demand mainly relies on imports, mainly from Japan’s Shin-Etsu and Haiyang MSE. The above two major companies have brand and technological advantages, excellent product quality, and have more competitive advantages in the market. There are many types of light diffusing agents. There are currently hundreds of domestic companies operating in this field, and the market concentration is low. The main manufacturers of light diffusing agents in my country include Changxing Special Materials, Xinjiayi New Materials, Wannengda Technology, etc. The products they produce can meet the needs of the low-end field.

Compared with imported products, my country’s light diffusing agents have a higher cost performance. With the rapid development of the LED industry in recent years, domestic light diffusing agent products have continuously improved their quality and developed towards high-end products, gradually replacing imported products. From the perspective of industry development, LED currently dominates the light diffusing agent market. In the future, the development of skin care products, makeup and other industries will drive the demand for light diffusing agents to rise.

Industry analysts said that there are many types of light diffusing agents that can be used in many resin materials to improve the transparency of the materials. Optical. There is currently a high demand for light diffusing agents in LED applications. my country’s LED industry has shown a steady growth trend in the past five years, thus promoting the development of the light diffusing agent industry. In the future, driven by the development of the cosmetics industry, the market demand for light diffusing agents will still show a growth trend, and the industry development prospects are good.
