[142 Pages Report] The market size of pigment dispersions is estimated at USD 42.2 billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 54.3 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 5.2%. The growing demand for paints & coatings in the building & construction industry is driving the market. Water-based pigment dispersion is widely used in major applications such as paints & coatings, printing inks, and plastics.
However, stringent regulations on the production of pigments due to its harmful effect on health and the environment is a major restraint for market growth.
On the basis of end-use industry, the pigment dispersions market has been categorized into building & construction, automotive, packaging, paper & printing, textile, and others. The building & construction segment is the largest consumer of pigment dispersions in 2018; whereas, the automotive industry is projected to be the fastest end-use industry during the forecast period.
On the basis of dispersion type, the pigment dispersions market has been segmented into water-based dispersions and solvent-based dispersions. Water-based dispersion is the larger and the faster-growing dispersion type owing to its low VOC, good gloss, high tinting strength, fluidity, and storage stability properties.
On the basis of region, the pigment dispersions market has been segmented into APAC, Europe, North America, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. APAC is projected to register the highest growth in the global pigment dispersions market during the forecast period. The demand for pigment dispersions is high in developing economies such as China and India. The growth of the pigment dispersions market in APAC is mainly driven by high demand in the building & construction industry. Rising population and growing end-use industries have led to innovation and development, making APAC an important industrial hub, globally. High growth and innovation, along with industry consolidations, are expected to lead to the rapid growth of the market in the region.
The key players profiled in this report include Clariant (Switzerland), BASF (Germany), DIC Corporation (Japan), Sudarshan Chemical (India), Chromaflo (US), Cabot Corporation (US), Heubach GmbH (Germany), Penn Color (US), Pidilite (India), and Sherwin-Williams (US). These companies have adopted various organic as well as inorganic growth strategies between 2014 and 2019 to strengthen their positions in the market. The key players adopted both organic and inorganic growth strategies to enhance their regional presence and meet the growing demand for pigment dispersions from emerging economies.
