Key Highlights of Global Pigments Market
·
The
global pigments market was valued
at US$ 30.35 Bn in 2018 and is anticipated to
expand at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period
·
The global
pigments market is driven by rise in the demand for paints and coatings.
· Asia Pacific accounts for a major share of the global pigments market, due to increase in the demand for paints and coatings in the region.
Key Drivers of Global Pigments Market
·
Paints
and coatings are used to decorate and protect objects that they cover. Paints
and coatings are employed in various end-user industries such as aerospace,
automotive, architectural & refinishing, and building & construction.
·
Pigments
used in paints and coatings offer key attributes such as color strength,
coverage, durability, chemical inertness, light and weather fastness, and good
environmental performance. Pigments have anticorrosive properties that make
them suitable for use in direct-to-metal, automotive, and industrial coatings.
·
Rise in
population coupled with increase in per capita income has boosted the
consumption of paints and coatings in building & construction, automotive,
and consumer goods industries over the last few years. This, in turn, generated
considerable demand for pigments in the paints & coatings segment, making
it the leading end-user segment in 2018.
Surge in production and consumption of plastics
across the globe to offer attractive growth opportunities
·
Plastics
is one of the major consumers of pigments. Pigments form an integral part of
the plastics industry. Pigments impart unique appearance and styling effect to
plastic products. Pigments are employed as colorants in a wide range of
plastics, owing to their excellent compatibility with several types of
plastics.
·
Besides
coloring effect and improved aesthetics, pigments increase the stability of
plastics and improve resistance of plastics to climatic conditions such as heat
and moisture. Thus, rise in the production of plastics plays a key role in
driving the demand for pigments.
·
Consumption
of plastics has increased substantially in both developed and developing
countries over the last few years. Factors such as economic growth, rise in
disposable income, and rapid urbanization in developing countries such as
China, India, Brazil, and South Africa are projected to drive the demand for
plastics during the forecast period.
·
Asia
Pacific has been a leading consumer of plastics over the last few years.
Consumption of plastics is estimated to increase also in developing countries
of Latin America and Middle East & Africa in the next few years. Thus,
increase in plastics production is likely to drive the market for pigments
during the forecast period.

Stringent environmental and health-related
regulations associated with pigments to hamper pigments market
·
The
pigments market is highly influenced by strict government monitoring and
health-related regulations. These hamper the pigments market. Pigments contain
heavy metals, which makes them pose a threat for human health and the
environment.
·
Growth of
the pigments market, especially the inorganic segment, can be hampered by
environmental effects and toxicity associated with heavy metals used in metal
oxides, mixed metal oxides, and metallic pigments.
·
Heavy
metals include lead, chromium, cadmium, and mercury. Human exposure to these
metals can cause cancer or liver diseases. Disposal of heavy metals during the
pigment production leads to pollution. Prolonged exposure of skilled labor to
heavy metals can cause severe occupational hazards.
