Global Retro-Reflective Materials Market 2018-2023 by Technology, Product Type, Application & Region

DUBLIN, May 16, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

The "Retro-Reflective Materials Market by Technology (Microprismatic, Glass & Ceramic Beads), Product Type (Films, Paints), Application (Traffic & Work Zone, Conspicuity, Fleet & Vehicle Registration, Personal Safety) & Region - Global Forecast to 2023" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The retro-reflective materials market is estimated at USD 5.58 Billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 12.49 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 17.5% between 2018 and 2023.

The growth of the retro-reflective materials market can be attributed to the increasing use of retro-reflective materials in construction & infrastructure and automotive & transportation projects, owing to the property of offering safety by providing enhanced visibility in low light and nighttime conditions.

The retro-reflective materials market has been segmented on the basis of technology, product type, application, and region. Based on technology, the retro-reflective materials market has been classified into microprismatic, glass beads, and ceramic beads. The microprismatic segment of the retro-reflective materials market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of value.

Microprismatic technology is the most demanded technology for the manufacture of retro-reflective materials, owing to the enhanced retro-reflectivity offered by this technology. The growth of the microprismatic segment can be attributed to the high focus of manufacturers on the demand for products offering better retro-reflective property. This has led to the larger market share of the microprismatic technology in the global retro-reflective materials market.

Based on product type, the retro-reflective materials market has been classified into films, sheets & tapes, paints, inks & coatings, and others. The films, sheets & tapes segment is expected to lead the retro-reflective materials market during the forecast period, in terms of value. The growth of the films, sheets, & tapes segment can be attributed to the wide range of applications these offer in all major industries, such as apparel, construction & infrastructure, and automotive & transportation.

Based on application, the retro-reflective materials market has been segmented into traffic control & work zone, conspicuity & fleet & vehicle registration, personal safety and others. The traffic control & work zone application segment is projected to lead the retro-reflective materials market during the forecast period, in terms of value.

The growth of the traffic control & work zone segment can be attributed to the increasing use of retro-reflective materials in construction activities. Retro-reflective materials in the traffic control & work zone application are used on highways, roadways, and at work zone sites, such as warning signboards, traffic control sign boards, guidance signboards, and informational signboards. These are also used for work zone products, such as cones, barricades, drums, and delineators, among others.
