Pigments Market Overview:

A pigment is a material that changes the color of reflected or transmitted light as the result of wavelength-selective absorption. In other words, it’s a substance that appears a certain color because it selectively absorbs certain wavelength of light. The primary purpose to use pigments is to provide color to materials, whether they are textiles or paints. Some people often consider pigments and dyes to be the same but they’re quite different. The major difference between the both is in terms of their solubility. There are two types of pigments mainly: Organic and Inorganic. Organic pigments are based on carbon chains and carbon rings. However, they can also contain metallic elements that help stabilize properties of the organic component. Inorganic pigments are usually metallic salts precipitated from solutions.To know about the Research Methodology:-Request Free Sample Report While a dye can dissolve by itself in a liquid, pigments can be dissolved in a liquid with the help of a binder. Dyes are primarily applied in the textile and paper industry, pigments are used in industries such as coloring paints, inks, cosmetics, and plastics. The particle size of inorganic pigments is larger than that of organic pigments. Pigments can impart a versatile range of colors to paints, coatings, plastics, inks, etc. while improving their aesthetic properties. These helps enhance properties such as opacity, hiding power, light and weather fastness, heat stability, and tinting strength. Like all materials, the color of pigments arises because they absorb only certain wavelengths of visible light. The bonding properties of the material determine the wavelength and efficiency of light absorption. A pigment is a colored material that is completely or nearly insoluble in water.

Pigments Market Opportunities: The Growing demand for packed food products across consumers is the new opportunity for the growth of the Global Pigments Market. Changing lifestyle of the consumer coupled with the increasing consumption of convenience and ready-to-eat food products is creating demand for packed food products. Thus, the growing demand for packaged food products is projected to hamper the market growth of pigment. Technological breakthrough in the development of nanomaterials has opened new avenues for the advancement in several industries. Nanotechnology has emerging usage in the pigments industry. This is expected to create lucrative opportunities in the market in the next few years. Nano pigments are rapidly gaining popularity in various industrial applications owing to their superior performance than the conventional pigments. Nanoparticle of organic and inorganic pigments having particle size less than 100 nm can be developed. Usage of nanotechnology in the production of pigments improves their tribological, mechanical, and optical properties. Nano pigments offer key advantages, such as durability stability to UV radiation and heat; enhanced hardness and toughness; resistance to scratch, abrasion, and weather; improved transparency and decreased water permeability, over traditional pigments. Nano pigments can also be used in novel applications such as cosmetics, photovoltaic cells, cathode ray tubes, and ceramic pigments. These pigments have smaller particle size, which leads to a larger surface area. Therefore, advanced technology is required for the application of nano pigments for surface treatment and dispersion. Pigments Market Challenges: 1.  Pigment manufacturers are focused on maintaining environmental sustainability due to the rise in consumer awareness about the usage of eco-friendly products. Producers of pigments experience challenges in terms of adverse environmental effects of pigments. 2. Due to the excellent coloring properties, Azo compounds are extensively used in paints & coatings. However, toxicological effects associated with the unregulated usage of the compounds lead to high environmental risks. Reduction of azo compounds can release a number of aromatic amines, which can be detrimental effects on human health. These amines can be produced by reductive cleavage or hydrolysis of anilido bonds present in azo compounds. These aromatic amines induce genotoxicity and carcinogenicity in humans. As a result, the European Commission (EC) has imposed stringent restrictions on the usage of these dyes. 3. The Ecological and Toxicological Association of Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers (ETAD) has not specifically restricted the usage of azo pigments; however, some azo pigments can cause significant health hazards. Photocleavage initiated by solar radiation can degrade some azo pigments despite their low solubility. This, in turn, can result in the release of harmful aromatic amines of more than 30 ppm, which is beyond the detection limit set by ETAD.
