Market Insights
Pigment dispersion refers to the process of dispersing pigments in a liquid medium to create a homogeneous mixture. It involves breaking down pigment particles into smaller sizes and distributing them evenly throughout the liquid medium. The resulting pigment dispersion is a concentrated formulation that can be easily incorporated into various applications such as paints, coatings, inks, plastics, textiles, and cosmetics.
The primary drivers for the growth of this market would be increasing demand from in various industries such as paints and coatings, printing inks, plastics, textiles, and cosmetics, rising automotive production, increasing disposable incomes and demand for vehicles technological advancements and the need for improved dispersing agents, milling equipment, and formulation techniques, have enhanced the performance and properties of pigment dispersions and demand for environmentally friendly pigment dispersions.
Manufacturers are focusing on developing low-VOC (volatile organic compound) and water-based pigment dispersions to comply with regulations and meet consumer preferences for eco-friendly products. Overall, the pigment dispersion market is likely to rebound at a promising CAGR of 5.1% in the long run to reach USD 65.6 Billion in 2028.
