Market Overview

Pigments consist of finely ground solid particles blended with oil, water-based paints, printing inks, and plastics. They alter the color of reflected or transmitted light due to their selective absorption of wavelengths. The pigments must possess specific properties to effectively color other materials, including high tinting strength relative to the colored materials and stability in solid form at an average temperature. Custom-colored products' growing popularity drives demand for a broader range of pigments. The increasing use of pigments in cosmetics and personal care products is another driver of market growth. As the world's population becomes more urbanized, there is a growing demand for housing and other infrastructure which leads to an increase in construction activity, which in turn is driving demand for paints and coatings, thus pigments.
