The global paper pigments market is expected to register a staggering double-digit CAGR of 8.5% by garnering a market value of US$ 28 Billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to:
Rising demand for paper pigments in end-use industries such as automotive, construction, and healthcare along with pigments being generally cheaper than dyes are making them a more cost-effective option for paper manufacturers. Moreover, pigments tend to be more lightfast than dyes, which means they will retain their color longer when exposed to light.
Pigments are more resistant to fading caused by UV light, which makes them a good choice for outdoor applications. Additionally, pigments have a high color intensity, which allows for vibrant and bright colors that make it a feasible option for different products. Not only are pigments easy to handle and store, but also they are not affected by temperature or humidity and they are easy to transport.
Pigments are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than dyes as they do not release any harmful chemicals into the environment.

During the production of pulp & paper, various chemicals/pigments are utilized as additives and as processing agents. The selection of these pigments is dependent on the function properties required to be imparted to papers and paperboards, for their designated applications. Paper pigments are powder form particles, insoluble in dissolvent & binders, and obtained from the natural as well as synthetic sources.
Paper pigments has various superior properties including low solubility in water, and help to boost brightness, opacity values of paper, and among others. The key application of paper pigments is to improve printing properties.
Rising concerns towards educational development as well as growing government initiatives related to educational activities are anticipated to fuel the printing & writing papers demand. Along with this, many packaging experts and consumer product companies are focusing on “green packaging”.
Modern retail penetration will boost the demand for paper bags. Due to sustainable packaging, the demand for paper products estimated to surge and manufacturers are increasingly demanding paper pigments in near future.
Paper pigments play a key role in ensuring safe operations through all steps of the paper mill from the gate of the plant, through transportation, to storage and final use of the product in bleaching plants. Paper pigments are helpful to improve the paper look, surface and functional properties.
In view of growing the requirements such as opacity, brightness and print quality, etc. the demand for paper pigments is projected to grow at a decent pace during the forecast period.
Conversely, disruption brought up by digitalization have already benefited several industries. However, it is not the case with pulp and paper industry. Though with moderate intensity, digitalization has negatively impacted the growth of paper demand. With an upsurge in digital media platforms, the newsprint has lagged its growth in the digital era compared to previous year.
This is expected to hamper the global paper pigments market by end of forecast period.
