Global Pigment Ink Binder Market 2025 by Manufacturers, Regions, Type and Application, Forecast to 2031

According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Pigment Ink Binder market size was valued at US$ 28.4 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of USD 55.7 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 10.2% during review period.

This report mainly studies ink binders used for pigment ink market.

Pigment inks are fixed by creating adhesion of the pigment with the fabric. Pigment inks contain binder which typically is polymer-based compound. During the fixation process this polymer is heated to a temp where it plasticizes (gets converted to semi solid-state) and then creates a bond between fibers of fabric and pigment particles in the ink. This in a sort creates a physical bond between the pigment particle and the fabric. This binder plays a highly critical role in the performance of the pigment inks. Right from ink stability, nozzle jetting performance, preventing clogging of the print-head to ensuring fastness of the inks on fabric, having minimum feel are various things depending on the binder.

The Pigment Ink Binders industry can be broken down into several segments, Acrylic Binder, Polyurethane Binder, etc.

Across the world, the major players cover DSM, BASF, Showa Denko Materials, etc.
