Pigments are a set of insoluble, colored chemical compounds that are incorporated in the medium and mixed physically. They aid in absorbing the light of selective wavelength for emitting colors through transmission, hiding the substrate, and enhancing the surface property of the material. On account of these applications, pigments are extensively deployed as a key component in paints, coatings, plastics, printing inks, and light-emitting sources. At present, they are broadly categorized in two varying pigments forms, including organic and Inorganic. Amongst these, organic pigments are extracted from natural sources, whereas inorganic or synthetic pigments are derived from petrochemicals or synthesized from calcinations.
Pigments Market Trends:
The widespread adoption of pigments across various industrial verticals, such as commercial, residential, electronics, and automotive, due to the increasing demand for high-quality paints with metallic luster is primarily driving the market toward growth. This is further supported by the increasing awareness regarding the several benefits offered by the pigments, including protection against high temperature, ultraviolet (UV) radiation, blowing sand, acid rain, and corrosive materials. In line with this, the rising environmental concerns amongst consumers have prompted manufacturers to shift toward organic and eco-friendly, high-performance pigments (HPP), which, in turn, is positively stimulating the market growth across the globe. Additionally, the extensive utilization of pigments in cosmetics, liquids, fruits, paint, paper, textiles, leather, shoe polish, candles, wood, and bamboo is contributing to the market growth. The significant expansion in the construction activities, along with the favorable initiatives undertaken by the government bodies of different nations for investing in constructing cost-effective housing facilities, are further propelling the market growth. Other factors, such as strategic collaborations amongst key players and the rising investments in the research and development (R&D) activities for introducing digital inks, are providing an impetus to the market growth.
