DRIVING FACTORS:

The growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly pigments for single-use food packaging could fuel market expansion.

In the single-service food packaging market, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polypropylene (PP), and polystyrene (PS) are the most popular polymers. The overall demand for pigments is anticipated to be driven by the growing use of plastic, paper, and paperboard materials as well as the application of different colorants to make aesthetically pleasing packaging. Currently, the majority of the world's pigment needs are met by titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and zinc oxide combined, which is utilized in plastic, paper, and paperboard used in food packaging.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

The rigorous environmental laws could limit the market expansion.

The market for pigment dispersions is greatly impacted by strict environmental laws. Regulations are designed to lessen the risks to the environment and human health that come with using specific pigments and dispersants. Regional variations in these laws make compliance difficult and increase production costs.

Market Segmentation

The pigment dispersion market share is classified into product and application.

The inorganic pigment holds the highest share of the market over the forecast period.

Based on product, the pigment dispersion is classified into inorganic pigment and organic pigment. Among these, the inorganic pigment holds the highest share of the market over the forecast period. In general, inorganic pigment dispersion is lighter than organic pigment dispersion. On the other hand, inorganic pigment dispersion is preferred over organic dispersion in situations when increased durability is required. One important difference is that in contrast to its inorganic cousin, organic pigment dispersion can fade with prolonged exposure to sunshine. Three polymorphs of calcium carbonate are present: aragonite, calcite, and vaterite. It is present as a white powder. It is found naturally in a variety of materials, including chalk, marble, limestone, and seashells. The color of the material varies, from gray to yellow, depending on how much impurity is present. Interestingly, it turns out that inorganic pigment dispersion is more affordable than organic. It’s easier dispersion across a variety of substrates is made possible by its lower particle size. Two of the most well-known and commonly used inorganic pigment dispersions are titanium dioxide and iron oxide.

The coatings segment holds the largest share of the market during the forecast period.

Based on application, the pigment dispersion is classified into plastics, inks, coatings. Among these, the coatings segment holds the largest share of the market during the forecast period. The demand for coatings is expected to be sustained throughout the projected period by the growth of the building and construction sector, which is being driven by the development of infrastructure in various economies. It is anticipated that this would further contribute to the general growth. Furthermore, the market for organic pigments used in coatings is expected to rise dramatically due to the growing trend for green building development. Pigment dispersion has gained popularity as a dye alternative in printing ink applications since it provides better coloring and produces the required results for printing ink makers.

Regional Segment Analysis of the Global Pigment Dispersion Market

• North America (U.S., Canada, Mexico) 
• Europe (Germany, France, U.K., Italy, Spain, Rest of Europe)
• Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, India, Rest of APAC)
• South America (Brazil and the Rest of South America) 
• The Middle East and Africa (UAE, South Africa, Rest of MEA)

Asia-Pacific holds the highest share of the pigment dispersion market throughout the forecast period.

The high market share can be attributed to the quantity of raw materials and the low cost of labor in the region, which draw firms from different industries to establish their production facilities in the Asia Pacific region to reap greater benefits. During the projected period, the coatings application segment in South Korea is anticipated to provide the largest proportion of the overall market growth. China is expected to lead the Asia Pacific market in the future years, having emerged as a significant contributor to the industry. The ability to export manufactured products to other nations at competitive costs and in a safe manner is made possible by the accessibility of labor and raw materials, as well as the ease of supply chain facilities. Market expansion is anticipated in several end-use industries, including automotive, construction, consumer goods, electrical and electronics, utility, packaging, food and beverage, and others, as a result of rising disposable income and shifting consumer behavior. 

Europe is fastest growing region over the projected timeframe.

Germany held the fastest revenue and volume share in the European pigment dispersion sector. Factors such as expanding industrial facilities and favorable macroeconomic conditions in a number of European nations are anticipated to propel pigment dispersion market growth in the region. In addition, it is projected that the region will see a growth in organic pigment dispersion due to the rapidly increasing trend of green technology.
