UV curing material is an important alternative to traditional solvent based coatings, inks and adhesives, with excellent characteristics of environmental protection, high efficiency, energy saving and wide adaptability. Downstream industries of UV curing material mainly include wood coating, plastic coating, decorative building materials coating, paper printing, packaging printing, automobile parts, electrical / electronic coating, printed circuit board manufacturing, optical fiber manufacturing, 3D printing Industries.

Under the influence of environmental protection, upstream raw material supply shortage and other factors, since the second half of 2017, the market price of photoinitiator products increased significantly, TPO / TPO-L was increased from 93.89 yuan/kg in 2016 to 267.62 yuan/kg in the second quarter of 2019, 184 from 45.61 yuan/kg in 2016 to 71.47 yuan/kg in the second quarter of 2019.

UV coating and UV ink are the most important UV curing materials. According to the statistics of radiation curing Committee of China Photographic Society, the annual compound growth rate of UV coating production and UV ink production was 12.74% and 13.92% respectively from 2012 to 2018.

On the other hand, the proportion of China's UV coating production to the total coating production has been maintained at 0.4% - 0.5% for many years before 2018, far below the international average of 2.8% - 3.2%. The serious shortage of photo-initiator is the main reason to restrict the further promotion and development of UV coating.

In addition, in the production process of photo-initiator, VOCs emission related industries, including coatings and inks, have been the focus of environmental protection departments. In February 2019, the Ministry of ecological environment issued the key points of national air pollution prevention and control in 2019, which requires accelerating the treatment of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in key industries, and formulating and implementing the technical scheme for comprehensive treatment of VOCs in key industries. In March 2019, the executive meeting of the Ministry of ecological environment reviewed and approved in principle the unorganized emission control standard for volatile organic compounds and the emission standard for air pollutants in the coating, ink and adhesive industries.

With the continuous improvement of environmental protection standards, the demand of downstream industries for photoinitiators, especially environmentally friendly photoinitiators, has increased, and small and medium-sized enterprises have been phased out to promote the industry to focus on the head.
