Organic Pigments Market

Market Overview

Pigments, mainly used for coloring paint, ink, plastic, fiber and other materials, are basically organic and inorganic particulate solids, which alter appearance of the substrate on which they’re applied by selective absorption and/ or by scattering of light. Organic pigments are carbon based particulate solids which can be prepared by natural and synthetic source of production. The natural organic pigments are derived from plants and animals while synthetic organic pigments are carbon based and are often derived from petroleum compounds. Organic pigments are used in the form of finely crushed powder for their use in coloring various products and in visual arts.

Rising demand of organic pigments from end-use industries such as textile, plastic etc. are expected to drive growth of the market over the coming years. The market for organic pigments is anticipated to record its highest growth in Asia-Pacific due to rise in number of textile industries. Organic pigments are cost effective, non-toxic and possess good color strength, which makes them good choice for their use across various end-use sectors. Availability of organic pigments in various unique shades make them attractive for using in visual arts also. Increasing consumption of organic pigments in various hi-tech applications such as opto-electronic display, photo-reprographics and optical data storage is expected to create significant growth opportunities over the forecast period of 2016-2026.

Organic Pigments Market Dynamics

Major factors driving growth of the organic pigments market include their increasing use in plastic, paint, coatings and textile industries. Moreover, upswing in number of textile industries and increasing demand of plastic products owing to various macro-economic factors is expected to boost the demand of organic pigments, in turn, fuelling the growth of global organic pigments market over the forecast period.

Unstable prices, various environmental regulations and limited availability of raw materials are some of the factors expected to impede the growth of global organic pigments market.

Manufacture of organic pigments with good light fastness property is gaining traction among global manufacturers. Besides, developing countries such as China & India are shifting towards becoming the center of global organic pigments market, both from the demand and supply side. Regulatory environment, labor laws and wages in Asia Pacific are expected to remain major factors impacting this global market shift. Moreover, owing to their ability to providing a wide color spectrum compared to their inorganic counterpart, organic pigments are expected to substitute inorganic pigments for some specific applications over the coming years.
