Market growth is driven by rising demand from the construction, automotive, plastics, and coatings sectors, alongside increasing infrastructure development, urbanization, and the expanding use of pigments in high-performance and specialty applications globally.
Latest News and Developments:
- November 2025: Sun Chemical, part of DIC Corporation, expanded its perylene pigment production capacity at its Ludwigshafen facility to support growing customer demand for advanced color solutions in coatings and plastics. This expansion enhances the output of pigments used in industrial applications, positively affecting availability and lead times for perylene-based pigments in the German market.
Product Description
Pigments are finely ground, insoluble particles used to impart color to various materials, including paints, inks, plastics, cosmetics, and textiles. These substances function by selectively absorbing and reflecting specific wavelengths of light, resulting in perceived color. Pigments can be classified into two primary categories, organic and inorganic. Organic pigments are carbon-based and typically derived from natural sources or synthesized chemically. They are known for their vibrant hues and are often used in applications requiring high tinting strength and brightness. Inorganic pigments, on the other hand, are mineral-based and include compounds such as oxides, sulfides, and silicates, offering excellent durability and stability in harsh conditions.
The production of pigments involves several processes, depending on the type and desired properties. For inorganic pigments, raw materials are mined and then subjected to chemical reactions, such as oxidation or precipitation, followed by milling to achieve the desired particle size. Organic pigments are often synthesized through complex chemical reactions, including diazotization and coupling for azo pigments, followed by purification and particle size reduction. Pigments are produced globally, with major manufacturing hubs in regions such as Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, due to the availability of raw materials and lower production costs.
