Metallic pigments are materials providing attractive aesthetics, such as high metallic brilliance and strong color flop to a substrate. They can be used to impart enhanced functional properties, such as corrosion and barrier resistance and thermal durability, to various materials. They can also increase the exclusivity of products by improving their appearance and adding a high-quality finish with a wide range of shades. As a result, they find extensive applications in the paint and coating, printing inks, cosmetics and personal care, plastic, and chemical industries across the globe.
At present, there is a rise in the utilization of metallic pigments in the automotive industry for wheel and interior coatings around the world. This, along with the increasing demand for eco-friendly paints and coatings to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, there is a rise in the applications of metallic pigments for printing decorative labels and attractive graphics due to the growing consumer demand for specialty products. This, coupled with the rising employment of metallic pigments by printing ink manufacturers to offer durable and long-lasting special effects in flexible packaging, is positively influencing the market. In addition, the rapid development of innovative metal oxides with unique substrate layering is offering lucrative growth opportunities to end-users and industry investors. Apart from this, the escalating demand for metallic pigments in the manufacturing of high-quality personal care products and cosmetics is bolstering the growth of the market.
