Drivers
Growing importance of aesthetics in packaging
The growing competition in the business environment worldwide has triggered the need for marketing and branding to succeed. Packaging plays a very important role in establishing brand value to customers. The importance of aesthetics in packaging has grown due to the need for product differentiation arising from high competition. Product packaging contains logos, which get highlighted by the use of organic pigments. Colors make packaging of products attractive and help in attracting customers. Thus, the importance of product appeal and aesthetics is increasing and is driving the use of organic pigments in packaging applications.
Stringent regulations for the use of printing inks in food contact materials
The regulations for using printing inks in food packaging applications is very stringent, worldwide to protect human health. According to government regulations, printing inks used in food contact materials should be strictly made up of organic pigments due to their environment-friendly nature. The absence of heavy metals such as iron oxides, titanium dioxide, and cadmium in organic pigments, which are considered harmful substances to human health is the major driver for the use of organic pigments in food contact materials.
Restraints
Higher cost of organic pigments than that of inorganic pigments
Organic pigments are more expensive than inorganic pigments, which is a major restraint for the market. The market is witnessing a high growth rate; however, the market size is quite smaller than that of the inorganic pigments. The inorganic pigment producers experience economies of scale for their production process, while the organic pigments are produced in small quantities. Hence, the production cost is higher, which increases the price for the final product. Organic pigments are, approximately one and a half times costlier than inorganic pigments, which limits its market in the paints & coatings and other applications that are not subject to strict regulations.

The organic pigments market size is estimated at USD 3.69 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 4.67 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 4.8% between 2018 and 2023. The high demand for organic pigments in various applications, such as printing inks, paints & coatings, and plastics, is expected to drive the organic pigments market.
Based on type, the organic pigments market has been segmented into azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, HPPs, and others. The azo pigments segment is expected to be the largest type due to the large-scale usage in printing inks applications which are used in food & beverage and consumer goods packaging. The availability of a range of different colors, such as red, orange, and yellow, of azo pigments at a low price is also a major reason for the large demand.
Based on application, the organic pigments market has been segmented into printing inks, paints & coatings, plastics, and others. Organic pigments are widely used in printing inks in packaging and printing media industries due to stringent government regulation against usage of metallic content pigments.
Based on region, the organic pigments market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. The organic pigments market in Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest and fastest-growing, owing to the growing demand from packaging, automotive, and construction industries in the region.
The key restraining factor in the organic pigments market is the high cost of organic pigments. Organic pigments are, approximately, one and a half times costlier than inorganic pigments, which limits its market in paints & coatings and other applications that are not subject to stringent regulations.
Companies such as BASF SE (Germany), Clariant AG (Switzerland), DIC Corporation (Japan), Heubach GmbH (Germany), Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd. (India), Ferro Corporation (US), Trust Chem Co. Ltd. (China), Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals Mfg. Co., Ltd. (Japan), Dominion Colour Corporation (Canada), and Toyocolor Co. Ltd. (Japan) have adopted new product launches, agreements & partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and investments & expansions strategies to enhance their foothold in the market.
Opportunities
Increasing demand for high performance pigments
The use of HPPs is increasing as they have higher lightfastness, fastness to chemical exposure, weather fastness and heat stability than conventional pigments. They also possess high color fastness and insolubility. These superior properties make organic pigments suitable for applications, including automotive and decorative coatings, which require excellent light and weather fastness. HPPs also offer other performance characteristics for colorants such as luminescence, fluorescence, and thermochromatic and photochromatic properties. These high-performance characteristics enhance the demand for HPPs in applications, such as coatings, plastics, inks, cosmetics, and textile. The development of organic HPPs for specific applications is an opportunity for the organic pigments market growth.
Challenges
Increasing production cost due to strict environmental regulations
Organic pigments and their intermediate manufacturers are mainly present in China and India due to the availability of low-cost raw materials and labor. The quality of the organic pigments used in food contact materials is mainly dependent on the quality of raw materials and the manufacturing process. In the recent times, regulations related to the discharging of processed water and removing of impurity content in its intermediates have been made stricter in China. Any change in the chemistry of the intermediates changes the rheology, shade, and gloss of the pigment, affecting the quality of the final products such as inks, paints, and coatings. Companies with exceptional R&D capabilities and high revenue can implement the necessary changes in their manufacturing formulation and technology to provide quality products.
