What is pigment?
Pigments, simply put, are substances that change the color of things. They absorb different wavelengths of light, allowing you to see various colors such as red, blue, and green.However, pigments are different from dyes. Pigments are insoluble in water and need to be attached to objects through polymerizers, while dyes can be dissolved in water, such as those used to dye clothes.
Current status of the global pigment market:
According to reports from MMR, CMI, etc., the size of the global pigment market has exceeded US$24 billion and is expected to grow to US$36.5 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of nearly 6%.There are many reasons behind this wave of enthusiasm:
1. Rapid urbanization and a surge in demand for pigments in infrastructure and house decoration;
2. Consumers have increasingly high requirements for appearance quality;
3. Explosive expansion of paint, printing, plastics, and cosmetics.
From a regional perspective:
1. Asia is the largest market, with China and India becoming super players;
2. North America and Europe pay more attention to green environmental protection and advocate environmentally friendly pigments.
Speaking of pigment trends, one thing that cannot be ignored is fluorescent pigments!
Fluorescent pigments can absorb ultraviolet or visible light, then re-emit visible light with extremely high brightness. Simply put: they are bright in the sun during the day, and can flash under ultraviolet light at night!
In recent years, fluorescent pigments have been particularly eye-catching in the global market and have become the "top stream" in the pigment industry. The main reasons are:
1. Promoted by trendy culture: streetwear, shoes, mobile phone cases, and skateboards are inseparable from cool fluorescent colors.
2. Functional applications: road signs, emergency exits, warning signs, and fluorescent pigments improve visibility.
3. Expansion in emerging fields: nail art, makeup, sports equipment, festival supplies, fluorescent makeup, and accessories have become a party standard!
In particular, the yellow-green fluorescent powder, due to its ultra-high brightness and ultra-wide application range, has become a core material that major brands are vying to use.
Moreover, with the advancement of technology, modern fluorescent pigments have become more environmentally friendly and stable, and no longer fade or contain heavy metals as easily as in the early days.
In the next few years, the growth rate of the fluorescent pigment market is expected to be higher than that of ordinary pigments, becoming one of the most promising branches of the global pigment market!
Challenges faced by the pigment industry:
1. Price fluctuations: The price of raw materials is unstable, which affects the production cost of pigments.2. Regulatory requirements: Different countries have different standards. For example, the EU has stricter control over heavy metals, and companies must constantly adjust their formulas.
3. Environmental pressure: Healthier and more sustainable formulas must be developed, otherwise they will be eliminated by the market.
4. It's the same story for fluorescent pigments: even though their future looks bright (literally!), making them both super bright and eco-friendly is something researchers still have to crack.
