Global Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Materials Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global Passive Daytime Radiative Cooling Materials market size is predicted to grow from US$ 21.07 million in 2025 to US$ 126 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 27.5% from 2026 to 2032.
Passive daytime radiative cooling (PDRC) materials are engineered surfaces—often films, paints, or coatings—that can lower their temperature under direct sunlight without consuming energy by balancing two optical properties: they reflect most incoming solar radiation (so they absorb very little heat from the sun) and they strongly emit thermal infrared radiation in the atmospheric “transparent window” (roughly 8–13 µm), allowing heat to radiate from the surface to the cold sky/outer space. When designed well and used on sky-facing surfaces, this combination can keep the material cooler than conventional surfaces and, under favorable weather (clear skies, low humidity, low wind), can even cool to below ambient air temperature. The average price of coating products is approximately US$6.29 per square meter, while the average price of film products is US$30 per square meter. Upstream sectors therefore span (1) materials: high-bandgap white pigments/fillers (e.g., BaSO₄, CaCO₃, TiO₂), polymer binders/resins, solvents (for liquid systems), and additives for dispersion, rheology, UV stability, and anti-soiling; (2) substrates & converting: roof membranes, metal panels, plastics, fabrics, primers, adhesives, and packaging; and (3) manufacturing & QA: paint-making/dispersing, film extrusion/lamination or scalable coating processes (e.g., spray/roll/dip/phase-inversion approaches) plus optical/thermal metrology to verify reflectance/emittance consistency. Downstream, PDRC materials flow into construction and roofing (new build + retrofit roofs/facades), industrial assets (tanks, warehouses, cold-chain surfaces), and outdoor infrastructure/equipment (enclosures, transport surfaces), typically sold through coating/roofing distributors, contractors, and OEM partnerships; adoption is often gated by standard test metrics (solar reflectance, thermal emittance, and SRI) used in cool-surface procurement and specifications.
The market opportunity for PDRC materials is strongest where customers value a passive, no-electricity way to cut surface temperatures and reduce cooling loads/peak demand, and where procurement can be “pulled through” existing cool-roof/cool-surface specification habits—but PDRC must prove incremental value beyond conventional high-reflectance coatings. Competition is therefore less about the basic physics (widely understood) and more about bankable field performance: maintaining high reflectance/emittance over time despite UV exposure, soiling, moisture, and real-world installation variability, with climate effects (humidity/cloud cover) and maintenance practices shaping realized benefits. Commercial winners tend to be those who can industrialize durable, standards-aligned products (including versions compatible with common roof systems and application methods), document performance with credible testing, and partner with established coatings/roofing channels—while R&D focus areas like anti-soiling, long-life binders, and scalable film/coating manufacturing determine how quickly PDRC moves from “specialty” to mainstream building and infrastructure specifications.
