South Africa represents a small yet emerging market for photocurable and advanced materials, driven by demand in industrial maintenance, mining, and the automotive sectors. These industries require durable, high-performance, and low-emission coatings, creating a niche but growing opportunity for photocurable technologies. However, the country faces challenges such as economic instability, limited research and development infrastructure, and a reliance on imported technologies. Despite these hurdles, the rising need for sustainable and long-lasting materials presents a clear growth path. Strengthening international partnerships and investing in local skill development could significantly improve the domestic innovation ecosystem and support long-term market growth.
