The global Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC) market size is predicted to grow from US$ 13.6 million in 2025 to US$ 31.3 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 14.9% from 2025 to 2031.

The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.

Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling (PDRC) is an innovative cooling technology that enables surfaces to stay cooler than their surroundings under direct sunlight without consuming energy. This is achieved by designing materials that reflect most of the sunlight while simultaneously emitting infrared radiation through the atmospheric window (8-13 micrometers) into outer space, which effectively radiates heat away. PDRC materials often have a high solar reflectance and high thermal emittance, making them ideal for applications such as building roofs, walls, and outdoor equipment. By passively cooling surfaces, PDRC can reduce the need for air conditioning, lower energy consumption, and mitigate urban heat island effects, contributing to energy efficiency and environmental sustainability.

This is achieved by engineering materials or coatings that reflect most of the incoming solar radiation while emitting thermal radiation through the atmospheric transparency window (8–13 µm) directly into outer space. The technology holds significant promise for applications in building envelopes, automotive components, textiles, and portable electronics, driven by the global push for energy efficiency, net-zero buildings, and sustainable cooling solutions. Advances in photonic materials, polymer composites, and scalable manufacturing processes (e.g., roll-to-roll production of PDRC films) are accelerating the transition from lab-scale prototypes to commercial products.

The PDRC market landscape is shaped by growing regulatory and societal pressures to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate the urban heat island effect. Adoption is supported by incentives for green buildings, stringent building energy codes, and rising demand for off-grid cooling solutions, particularly in hot and arid regions. However, challenges remain in achieving durability, cost competitiveness, and aesthetic flexibility (e.g., colored or patterned PDRC surfaces) compared to traditional cooling coatings and materials. Key players in this space include startups, material science innovators, and academic spin-offs collaborating with construction, automotive, and textile industries to integrate PDRC into practical, large-scale applications.
