Organic pigments are commonly employed in the printing ink application due to rules and activities such as FFDCA, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), and Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in the food packaging application. Printing inks make advantage of the optical density, rub resistance, and rheological and flow qualities of organic pigments utilized in jet inks and UV inks. The printing ink market in newspaper and periodical applications has been dropping due to digitalization; nevertheless, the demand for printing inks in the packaging application is increasing rapidly.
The market segmentation, based on Type, includes Anthraquinone, Phthalocyanine, Azo, and Quinacridone. The Anthraquinone segment may dominate the market. Anthraquinone is a class of organic compounds that has excellent color properties, and it is widely used in the production of organic pigments. Anthraquinone pigments offer excellent color strength, lightfastness, heat stability, and weather resistance, which makes them suitable for use in a wide range of applications, including paints, coatings, plastics, printing inks, and textiles. They are also non-toxic and environmentally friendly, which further enhances their appeal.
Based on End-user, the market segmentation includes Textiles, Plastics and polymers, Paints and Coatings, Printing and Packaging. The Paints and Coatings application is holding the largest market share. The demand for organic pigments in the paints and coatings industry is driven by the growing demand for high-quality paints and coatings in various end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and packaging. The use of organic pigments in paints and coatings provides benefits such as excellent color properties, good lightfastness, and high resistance to chemicals, heat, and weathering.
