Pearlescent pigments are transparent, non-reactive and non-toxic platelets that can reflect light and create a lustrous effect on account of their smooth surfaces. These pigments also provide color and intricate visual effects to various coatings, plastics and printing inks. They are either obtained from natural sources, such as fish scales or synthetic sources like metal oxide-coated mica, bismuth oxychloride, basic lead carbonate and lead arsenate. At present, pearlescent pigments are widely available in customized, innovative designs and different platelet sizes, thickness and coarseness of the particles and pigment concentration.

Pearlescent Pigment Market Trends:
Due to the high weathering-resistant properties of pearlescent pigments, they are employed in the automotive industry as an alternative to metallics. This, in confluence with the rising sales of passenger and commercial vehicles across the globe, represents one of the key factors impelling the market growth. Besides this, these pigments find extensive application in a variety of cosmetics, such as eyeshadow, blush, highlighter, lip gloss and bronzer, to create a matte finish and add color, sparkle and glitter. In addition, the easy availability of sustainable products and customized formulas through e-commerce channels, along with the escalating demand for unisex cosmetics, is contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, due to their characteristics of high stability of light sensitization and acid, alkali and high-temperature resistance, pearlescent pigments are used in packaging materials of various food products around the world. In addition, a shift in consumer preferences toward packaged food due to rapid urbanization, inflating income levels, and busy lifestyles are anticipated to offer lucrative growth opportunities to key players operating in the industry in the upcoming years.
