PHTHALOCYANINE PIGMENTS MARKET OVERVIEW

The global Phthalocyanine Pigments Market size was USD 1.84 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.8 billion by 2033, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of about 4.8% during forecast period.

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre- pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The manufacturing, marketing, and distribution of phthalocyanine pigments are all activities carried out by a global industry known as the "phthalocyanine pigments market." The color of inks, coatings, plastics, textiles, and other materials is often achieved with phthalocyanine pigments, a class of synthetic organic pigments that are widely employed in a variety of applications.

These pigments are renowned for their outstanding color consistency, great stability, and resistance to weathering, heat, light, chemicals, and light. They provide vivid blue, green, and other color tones, which makes them very sought-after in various sectors.

As a result of their broad application across several industries, phthalocyanine pigments have seen consistent expansion throughout the years. Printing ink, paints & coatings, polymers, and textiles are among of the sectors that predominantly fuel the need for these pigments. The market has grown as a result of increased demand for long-lasting and high-quality colorants in emerging economies as well as rising consumption of these pigments in those countries.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Shift in End- User Industries to Challenge the Market Demands

The pandemic-related downturn in the economy led to a drop in demand for a variety of goods, including pigments. Phthalocyanine pigment demand decreased as a result of the downturn in key Phthalocyanine pigment users including the automotive, building, and textile industries. The COVID-19 virus had a big influence on several industries, such the textile and automobile sectors. Particularly in the car sector, supply networks were disrupted, consumer spending fell, and manufacturing was halted. This has a negative impact on the market for phthalocyanine pigments used in automobile paints and coatings. Similar to the garment and fashion sector, which employs pigments for dyeing and printing purposes, the textile industry also saw a drop in demand.

LATEST TRENDS

Printing, Painting and Coating Industry to Augment the Market Growth

The manufacturing of printing inks, which are widely utilized in packaging, publishing, and other printing applications, makes substantial use of phthalocyanine pigments. The demand for phthalocyanine pigments is strongly impacted by the expansion of the printing inks sector. Because they can produce vibrant colors and have exceptional resistance qualities, phthalocyanine pigments are used in paints and coatings. The demand for paints and coatings is driven by the expansion of the construction and automotive industries, among other things. This has an impact on the market for phthalocyanine pigments. PVC, polyolefins, and engineering plastics may all be colored using phthalocyanine pigments. The market for phthalocyanine pigments is being driven by the rising demand for colored plastics in a variety of applications, including packaging, consumer products, and automotive components.
