The organic pigments market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.04% to reach US$3,743.645 million by 2026, from US$3,034.996 million in 2019.
Organic pigments are colored materials made from carbon chains with pigment properties. They are obtained from natural and synthetic sources due to which they provide intense and bright colors to the pigment. Organic pigments are being preferred over conventional pigments as they provide a metallic finish and have an elastic property as opposed to the other pigments. The market demand for synthetic-based organic pigments is surging worldwide as they are increasingly being preferred by several industries such as paints and coatings, printing inks, textile, automotive, electronics, etc. These pigments are being preferred as they exhibit beneficial properties such as good chemical resistance and lightfastness, chemical stability, bright and strong color, and excellent transparency. In addition, the growing demand for aesthetic and attractive packaging across the food and beverage industry is one of the major drivers of the organic pigments market due to the rapidly surging population and the increasing urbanization of the food and beverage industry, across the globe is flourishing. Moreover, the stringent regulations regarding the use of printing inks in food contact materials are also fueling the demand for organic pigments across this industry.
Also, the rising demand for high-performance pigments in the advertising, textile, automotive, construction industries as these pigments have higher lightfastness, fastness to chemical exposure, weather-fastness, and heat stability than conventional pigments. Further, the organic pigments have high color fastness and insolubility which further gives them an edge over the conventional pigments will continue to bolster the growth of the organic pigments market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the key market players have been investing in their organic pigments portfolio by launching new products, acquiring and merging with competitors, etc. which will further contribute to the market growth. For instance, in June 2021, DIC Corporation, acquired BASF’s global pigments business, known as BASF Colors & Effects (BCE) to build a complementary portfolio of technologies, products, and manufacturing assets, supply chain, and customer service of the two companies to serve customers globally.
By application, the paintings and coatings segment is estimated to hold a dominant market share owing to the surging demand for decorative coatings, marine coatings, automotive coatings, and industrial coatings, globally. Geographically, the North American region is estimated to hold the largest share owing to the strict regulations regarding the packaging and labeling of food and beverage products. Also, the Asia-Pacific region will grow at a high CAGR due to the increasing demand for organic pigments from several industries such as packaging, automotive, and construction industries in the region.
Growth Factors.
The growing importance of marketing and branding in the business environment has encouraged companies to invest huge chunks of their budget in the advertising of their products, which in turn will drive the market growth of the organic pigment market during the forecast period. Also, to differentiate the product from the competitors, companies largely invest in the aesthetics of their packaging. The organic pigments are brighter, more colorful, and much more attractive which prompts the end-user industries to use them over the conventional pigments, which will further bolster their market growth over the next few years.
Restraint.
The costs associated with organic pigments are much more than the conventional pigments as these pigments are derived from natural sources. The organic pigments are produced on a small scale which doesn’t allow the manufactures to reap the benefits of economies of scale which the conventional pigment makers enjoy, which makes the process an expensive and time-consuming one and also increases the final price of the pigment. This may restraint the market growth in the long run as the small and medium businesses might not be able to afford these pigments due to budgetary constraints.
The Covid-19 pandemic negatively impacted the organic pigment market, as due to the nationwide lockdown and the temporary suspension of business operations, many industries such as printing, automotive, textile, construction, etc. suffered huge losses, which hampered the market growth of the organic pigments as the demand declined. However, with the ease of restrictions and normalcy being restored in the business operations, the market is expected to rebound during the forecast period.
