The Market encompasses a wide range of products, including leafing and non-leafing types, designed to enhance the visual and functional attributes of various industries. These pigments are available in paste and pellet forms and are integral components of vaccination programs and chemical companies' offerings. Aluminum pigments offer remarkable color purity, translucence, and flexibility, making them suitable for water-based coatings and solvent-based coatings. The market landscape depends on short shelf life, water-based coatings, solvent-based coatings, and resistant coating. Their light reflective properties, which include infrared and UV ultraviolet protection, make them popular choices for applications requiring bright and reflective finishes. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
One of the key factors driving the market is the high demand for aluminum powder in construction applications. One of the main end-users of aluminum powder and pigment is the construction industry. There is an increasing adoption across the construction industry of materials such as aerated concrete products, fly ash bricks, construction paints, and coatings.
Moreover, the majority of the solvent and waterborne silver coatings manufactured today are prepared using aluminum pastes. Some of the key countries where there is an increasing demand for aluminum powder and pigment include the US, Australia, France, the UK, and Germany. Therefore, the demand in the construction paints and coatings industry is fuelled by the rise in the number of construction projects globally. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the market during the forecast period.
A key factor shaping the market is the aluminum pigments with low VOC content. There are several stringent regulations enforced on the global paints and coatings market to reduce air pollution. One of the major causes of ozone layer depletion is the VOCs released from these paints and coatings. Hence, this is a significant challenge for market players who use solvent-based pigments in paints and coatings
Moreover, the advent of water-based aluminum pigment plays a significant role in addressing the issue of the VOC emission rate. Additionally, there is an increasing focus by several manufacturers on innovating aluminum pigments with low VOC for paints and coatings. Hence, such factors are positively impacting the market which in turn will drive the market during the forecast period.
Volatility in global aluminum prices is one of the key challenges hindering the market. There is a significant fluctuation in the prices due to several external factors. One of the main reasons is the US sanctions imposed against Russian conglomerate Rusal in April 2018. For instance, Rusal is estimated to contribute almost 6% of global aluminum production.
However, there is a temporary halt of Rusal operations in the supply of aluminum to a larger extent. As a result, there is a significant increase in the price which has significantly impacted the end-users. Hence such factors are negatively impacting the market. Therefore, it is expected to hinder the market during the forecast period.
