Organic dyes and textile colorants are also gaining popularity in the textile industry due to their superior lightfastness and colorfastness properties, further fueling market growth.
Organic pigments are gaining popularity in various industries due to their eco-friendliness and low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. These pigments are used extensively in the production of packaging materials, decorative coatings, industrial coatings, construction coatings, and automotive coatings. In the textile industry, organic dyes and textile colorants made from organic pigments are preferred for their superior colorfastness and durability. The Union Budget and the MSME sector have shown support for the use of organic pigments in India, encouraging their adoption in various applications. The automotive industry is also shifting towards the use of organic pigments in electric vehicles (EVs) to reduce their carbon footprint.
Moreover, the organic pigments are derived from natural sources such as phthalocyanine, high-performance pigments, and various organic compounds like toluene, benzene, naphthalene, xylene, and ethylene. They offer excellent color strength and stability, making them ideal for use in paints & coatings, printing inks application, and other industries. The demand for organic pigments is expected to grow significantly due to their environmental benefits and increasing consumer awareness towards sustainable products. The shift towards low-VOC and eco-friendly solutions is driving the growth of the market.
The market research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD billion" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018-2022 for the following segments.
The azo segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Azo pigments, also recognized as diazine derivative pigments, are produced through the diazotization and coupling processes. The formation of azo pigments ensues when hydrazine undergoes oxidation, resulting in color imparting compounds. Red, yellow, and orange hues are among the colors produced by azo pigments. These pigments are derived from colorless earth and clay materials, which acquire color when treated with azo compounds. The pigment carrier significantly influences the light fastness of azo pigments. The paints and coatings industry is projected to dominate the azo pigments market due to the burgeoning construction sector worldwide. In addition, the printing ink industry also utilizes azo pigments extensively.
Moreover, high-performance pigments, such as phthalocyanine pigments, have gained popularity in recent years, but azo pigments continue to hold a significant market share due to their affordability and wide color gamut. The Union Budget in the US, focusing on infrastructure development, may further boost the demand for azo pigments in the paints and coatings sector. Low-VOC (volatile organic compound) formulations are increasingly being adopted, which may create opportunities for azo pigments as they are considered less harmful compared to other organic pigments.

This trend is expected to continue, fueling the need for high-performance pigments, including organic pigments, in the region. Moreover, stringent government regulations to limit the use of products containing high levels of petrochemicals or VOCs are driving the adoption of organic pigments in various applications, such as paints and coatings, and printing inks.
Moreover, the key end-use industries, such as automotive and construction, are major contributors to the market's growth in APAC. With countries like China, India, and Japan accounting for a significant share of global automotive production, the demand for organic pigments is expected to remain during the forecast period.
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.
Population growth and demand for urbanized areas is the key driver of the market. The shift from rural to urban living has significantly impacted various industries, including automotive, construction, and packaging. These sectors rely heavily on organic pigments for enhancing the visual appeal of their products. Organic pigments, derived from organic dyes and textile colorants, are widely used in decorative coatings, industrial coatings, and construction coatings. Furthermore, the automotive industry utilizes these pigments to create vibrant and long-lasting colors for vehicles. The global population growth has led to an increase in demand for urban infrastructure and housing, driving the need for these industries to invest in high-quality pigments. Social factors, such as improved living standards and consumer preferences for aesthetically pleasing products, have also influenced the market's growth. The market is expected to witness steady growth due to these factors.
Advancement in organic pigment biopigments is the upcoming trend in the market. The growing awareness of health and safety concerns among consumers and manufacturers is leading to an increased adoption of organic pigments in various industries. However, the use of inorganic pigments, which contain heavy metals like lead, chromium, and cadmium, has raised environmental concerns. In response to this trend, there is a shift towards organic dyes and textile colorants derived from natural raw materials. These bio-based pigments significantly reduce the Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) content and offer equal color fastness and functionalities. The packaging material, decorative coating, industrial coating, construction coating, automotive coating, and textile production industries are embracing this change to cater to evolving consumer preferences and regulatory requirements.
The high cost of organic pigments is a key challenge affecting the market growth. Organic pigments have gained significant traction in various industries, including packaging material, decorative coating, industrial coating, construction coating, and automotive coating, as well as textile production. These pigments, derived from organic sources, offer a wide range of color options. Azo-based and polycyclic pigments are the most common types of organic pigments.
