Fluorescent brightening agents are also called optical brighteners. These chemical compounds absorb light in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum and with the help of fluorescence they re-emit light in the blue region and are specialty chemicals that belong to the synthetic organic coloring matter.
Fluorescent brightening agents are mostly stilbene-based chemicals. These agents make cloths appear more vibrant and radiant, resulting in whitening effect. These brighteners are most commonly used in detergents, soaps, cosmetics, food packaging, etc.
These optical whitening agents are chemicals are used to make plastics, fibers, coatings, ink and detergents as well as to make color on dyes more prominent. Fluorescent brightening agents have many advantages over other solvents such as light fastness, ready solubility in organic solvents, high chemical stability and better heat resistance.

It is also used in the cosmetic industry and as a bleaching additive in the paper and pulp industry. Applications of Fluorescent brightening agents have extended into the security sector as well with bank notes and bills now having fluorescence to distinguish them from counterfeit bills.
Chemicals such as di and tetra sulfonated triazole-stilbenes and a di-sulfonated stilbene-biphenyl derivative dominates the global Fluorescent brightening agent’s production. Several health hazards such as skin and respiratory allergic reactions coupled with irritation to the eyes act as a restraint for the Fluorescent brightening agents market. To add to this Fluorescent brightening agents are non-biodegradable and toxic in nature.
A worldwide slowdown in paper industry owing to the rise in use of digital alternatives, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic may also impede the overall demand for Fluorescent brightening agents. The high cost of production as well as the growing usage of alternatives such as non-stilbene brighteners is also a restraint on the market growth.
Although several restraints are present, there still remains a preference for the usage of Fluorescent brightening agents due to its superior performance, when compared to alternatives, in the respective application fields.
The COVID-19 crisis has brought upon unique consequences on the fluorescent brightening agents market, with demand stagnating in sectors such as pulp & paper, while relative demand spike is estimated from sectors such as soaps and detergents.
