The organic pigments market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• Over the past few years, the size of the organic pigments market has been expanding robustly. It is predicted to escalate from $17.25 billion in 2024 to $18.5 billion in 2025, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2%. Factors contributing to this growth during the historical period include the broadening of the printing inks market, increased demand in the automotive industry, applications in the textile industry, growth of the plastics industry, and consumer inclination towards eco-friendly products.
The Organic Pigments market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Projections for the upcoming years indicate a robust increase in the size of the organic pigments market. It is anticipated to reach $23 billion in 2029, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%.
This anticipated expansion during the forecast period can be credited to growing applications in packaging inks, a concentrated effort on recyclability and biodegradability, changes in color tastes, worldwide economic patterns, and the rise of high-solid and water-based coatings. Key trends for the forecast timeframe encompass the digitalization integration in color matching and manufacturing processes, stringent adherence to regulatory requirements and certifications, a surging interest in specialty organic pigments, advancements in nanotechnology related to pigment creation, and a growing popularity in high-performance pigments.
The organic pigments market is forecasted to expand, driven by the growing textile industry. The term textile industry refers to the sectors primarily involved in the creation, manufacturing, distribution, and utilization of textiles. Textiles are flexible materials produced from a network of synthetic or natural fibers. Organic pigments, known for their ability to offer color, opaqueness, and other sought-after traits, are extensively utilised in the textile industry for dyeing and printing purposes, fueling demand in the organic pigments market. For instance, Textile World, a leading publication based in Georgia that focuses on the international textile industry, reported in May 2023 that the estimated value of shipments for U.S. synthetic fibers, textiles, and clothing increased to $65.8 billion in 2022, up from $64.04 billion in 2021. Consequently, the upsurge in the textile industry fuels the growth of the organic pigments market.
