Global White Pigments Market Size, Trends & Analysis - Forecasts to 2027 By Product Type (Inorganic White Pigment, Organic White Pigment, Specialty White Pigment) By Application (Paints & Coatings, Plastics, Printing Inks, Construction Materials, Automotive, and Others), By Region (North America, Asia Pacific, CSA, Europe, and the Middle East and Africa), Company Market Share Analysis, and Competitor Analysis
The global white pigments market is projected to grow at a CAGR value of 5.9% from 2022 to 2027.
White pigments have been used in paint to make white hues, tint colors, and cover undertones. For its great concealing capability, titanium is recommended for impenetrable covering. All compounds with an index of refraction greater than 1.7 are categorized as white pigments by convention, while fillers are defined as materials with a refractive index of less than 1.7. The expanding use of white inorganic pigments in paints and coatings, adhesives & sealants, polymers, pharmaceuticals, newsprint, and inks, among many other applications, drives the market for white inorganic pigments.
The growing demand for high-performance white pigment for use in the automotive sector due to rising electric vehicle manufacturing and growing consumer preference for black and white colors, particularly the white color trend, is expected to drive growth for white pigment and positively impact global market growth.
Furthermore, technological developments have led to an increase in the use of white pigment in the plastics industry, propelling the global white pigment market forward. Also, catapulting market growth is the growing use of white pigments for high weather resistance coatings for ships, overpasses, motorcars, housing developments, and other indoor and outdoor implementations, as well as benefits such as higher index of refraction, powerful chromatic aberration strength, enormous concealing power, good diffusion, excellent whiteness, and non-toxic character.
As per the OECD, annual household disposable income has grown globally for the past six years. Consumers' spending power and living standards are increased as discretionary income rises. These factors drive the demand for home decor and house remodeling, driving the need for artistic paints and coatings further. Furthermore, rising industrialization in emerging regions and growth in manufacturing industry development due to low labor costs, training of skilled workers, availability of raw materials contribute to growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic has substantially impacted the global white pigments business worldwide, and both organic and inorganic pigment manufacturers worldwide have been concerned about the sudden drop and uncertainty in raw material costs before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Furthermore, supply chain disruptions, logistical restrictions, human resources shortages, limited component availability, demand reduction, and manufacturing halts due to lockdown in numerous countries have harmed the business.
Nevertheless, rules governing cadmium- and chromium-based pigment and higher manufacturing costs per volume (Tons) of coating solvent and recyclable plastics restrictions are stifling industry expansion.
The global white pigments market is a segmented inorganic white pigment, organic white pigment, and specialty white pigment based on the product type. The organic white pigment segment is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in 2022-2027. This growth is attributed to increased consumer awareness of eco-friendly products and increasing demand from consumers.
Organic pigments are also being used in paints and printing inks for packaging, plastic injection molding, and printing technology, driving segment expansion.
The white pigments market is segmented into paints & coatings, plastics, printing inks, construction materials, automotive, and others. The construction material segment is projected to have the largest market share during the forecasted period from 2022 to 2027.
The building industry's expansion will likely create growth potential for coatings, resulting in increased demand for the white pigment shortly. Globally, there is a growing awareness of coating materials for long-term protection, which leads to an increase in the white pigment in the construction industry.
As per the geographical analysis, the white pigments market can be classified into North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico), Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Europe (Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, France, Spain, Netherlands, and Rest of Europe), Middle East & Africa (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Rest of the Middle East & Africa) and Central & South America (Brazil, Argentina, and Rest of Central and South America).
North America (the United States, Canada, and Mexico) will dominate the global share in the white pigments market from 2022 to 2027. The major factor driving the market in the North American region is due to the country's expanding construction industry, increasing demand for sustainable and eco-environment friendly white pigment, which has resulted in market expansion. Increasing consumer spending power has fueled the rise of many businesses. The continuously shifting demands for evolving technologies drive the demand for white pigments in this region considerably further.
Moreover, the Asia Pacific (India, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and the Rest of Asia Pacific) region is expected to be the fastest-growing segment in the white pigments market during the forecast period between 2022 and 2027 attributable to increased expenditures in the building and manufacturing sectors, as well as the region's continuously growing population. During the forecast period, various factors such as increasing consumer goods consumption, advancement in semiconductors, and other industries are anticipated to propel the growth in this region.
The Chemours Chemical Company, CRISTAL, Tronox Limited, Sudarshan Chemical Industries Limited, BASF SE, LANXESS, Clariant International AG, Ferro Corporation, KRONOS Worldwide Inc., Sun Chemical Corporation, Cathay Industries Group, Heubach GmbH, Gharda Chemicals Limited, Altana AG, among others are key players in the white pigments market.
