The Pigments Market is expected to be worth US$ 22 Billion By 2027
Pigments are
a class of compounds that are highly colored and are used to color other
materials. They absorb light of a specific wavelength and then emit different
colors via reflection or transmission. Pigments are used to enhance a substrate's appearance or add color to the medium in which they are
used. Organic and inorganic pigments are both possible. Organic pigments are
made up of carbon chains and rings. They may, however, contain metallic
elements that aid in the stabilization of the organic component's properties.
Inorganic pigments are typically precipitated metallic salts from solutions.
Inorganic
pigments have larger particle sizes than organic pigments. Pigments can add a
wide range of colors to paints, coatings, plastics, inks, and other materials
while improving their aesthetic properties. These improve opacity, hiding
power, light and weather fastness, heat stability, and tinting strength.
Growth in
end-user industries, rising demand for high-performance pigments (HPP), and
rising preference for environmentally friendly products are the major driving
factors in the pigments market.
Pigments are used in a wide range of applications, including paints and
coatings, textiles, construction, printing inks, and plastics Because of
expanding infrastructure, the paints, and coatings industry is experiencing
significant growth. Global demand for paints and coatings is expected to grow
at a CAGR of 5.4 percent over the next five years, according to industry
estimates.
Raw material
price volatility, global overcapacity, and environmental concerns are restraining
the growth of the pigments market.
Some of the trends observed in the pigments market include the relocation of
manufacturing facilities from the United States and Europe to India, China, and
Taiwan, as well as a growing preference for eco-friendly products.
Asia-Pacific
holds the largest share of the pigments market. This region is a key market for the production of dyes and
pigments. India and China are important countries in the Asia-Pacific region
that are contributing to the growth of the pigment market.
The global pigments market is highly fragmented,
with players of comparable size and market share. Because of the presence of an
integrated value chain, established players are expected to compete fiercely.
