Stringent regulations regarding usage of printing inks in food contact material and expansion of the coatings industry are key factors driving market revenue growth
The global organic pigments market size is expected to reach USD 6.10 Billion in 2028 and register a revenue CAGR of 4.9% during the forecast period, according to the latest report by Reports and Data. Market revenue growth is primarily driven by the implementation of stringent regulations governing the usage of printing inks in food contact materials. The increasing issue of safety in food packaging is boosting the demand for eco-friendly products. It is set to result in increased scrutiny of pigments utilized in food and packaging. Organic pigments are nowadays being used in the food packaging industry as printing inks. This is mainly occurring, owing to safety issues among the concerned population regarding the possible transfer of packaging color into food items. As organic pigments are made up of eco-friendly materials and are free-from heavy metals such as oxides of iron and titanium, these are showcasing high demand. Good quality organic pigments are also stable in terms of color & viscosity and can be easily printed on several substrates. These factors are expected to boost the revenue growth of the market during the forecast period.
Moreover, the expansion of the coatings industry is contributing to the growing demand for organic pigments. The coatings industry is increasingly utilizing organic pigments to meet the high demand for marine, decorative, industrial, and automotive coatings. The growth of sustainable and premium quality paints is resulting in a surging demand for organic pigments. There is an increasing demand for High-performance Pigments (HPP) among the paints & coatings and printing ink industries owing to superior properties. Rising demand for brighter and cleaner colors with high resistance properties is boosting demand for High-performance Pigments (HPP).
