The fundamental function of pigments is to add colour to materials. Pigments are stable at normal temperatures and have a high tinting strength, so only a tiny amount is required to show the colour when put on objects or mixed with a carrier. Fugitive pigments are pigments that fade or blacken with time or with prolonged contact to light. The hue, saturation, and other qualities of a pigment are affected by other substances in the product, such as binders or fillers. A colour of paint, for example, will appear differently depending on the composition of the mixture.
Rise in Construction Sector
Pigments are used for varied purposes across many industries. For instance, in the construction industry, architectural and decorative coatings largely consume pigments in the production process. Thus, rising construction and infrastructure activities are major drivers for growth of pigment market. Similarly, producers offer organic and inorganic pigments for the paint and coatings industry based on colour and composition requirements. The addition of pigments to paints successfully improves the glossy wall surface that customers desire.

There was a significant dip in construction activity as a result of the unavailability of labour and hence substantial decline in demand for pigments base products. Additionally, labour and supply constraints led to reduction in the pigment’s companies’ production operations. However, due to safety concerns, the trend of safe packaging fuelled the growth in packaging industry. Dyes and pigments are crucial components used in the production of printing inks used on packaging products. Thus, despite the pandemic, the packaging sector assisting in global pigments market recovery.
Impact of Russia-Ukraine War on Global Pigments Market
