Based on Type, the Azo segment held the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period due to its use in yellow, orange, & red pigments

Based on type, the market has been segmented into alizarin, azo, phthalocyanine, arylide, and others. The Azo segment in organic pigments accounted for the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period owing to its extensive use in the textile, fiber, cosmetic, leather, paints, and printing industries. Additionally, azo pigments are the largest group of organic pigments, they contain one or more azo chromophoric groups and form yellow, orange, and red pigments.   These yellow, orange, and red pigments are used in manufacturing of cosmetics. Loreal is one of the global leading cosmetics providers, as they can utilize azo for their color processing of products. For example.  In 2021, L’Oreal’s profitability in the fourth quarter, and reached 18.6%, compared to 3rd quarter estimated to be 27.99 billion euros sales (32.54 USD Bn).

Moreover, the use of phthalocyanine pigments in manufacturing dyes for electronic, optical materials is anticipated to drive the market growth during the forecast period. Phthalocyanines are widely used as blue and green colorants. The average global production for phthalocyanines is more than 80 000 tonnes per year, in which over 90% are colorants.

Based on the source, the synthetic segment in the organic pigments market held the largest market share in 2020 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the various characteristics offered by synthetics in terms of brightness, and purity

Based on the source, the global organic pigments market has been segmented into natural, and synthetic. The synthetic segment in the organic pigments market share held the largest numbers in 2020 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth in the segment is attributed to the various characteristics of  synthetic organic pigments  such as brightness, small particle size, high tinting strength, lightness in weight, resistance to wetting, fatness, transparency. Moreover, the rising preference for synthetic as a source can also be attributed to its low-cost, especially in the electronics industry.

Based on region, the Asia Pacific held the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the faster adoption of consumer electronics

Based on region, the global organic pigments market is categorized into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. The Asia Pacific held the largest market share in the organic pigments market owing to increasing demand for LED Displays from the consumer electronics sector. For instance, Asia Pacific generated the highest quantity of e-waste in 2019 at 24.9 Mt, followed by the Americas (13.1 Mt) and Europe (12 Mt). Moreover, the increasing demand for automobiles in this region is anticipated to drive the market growth in the near future. For instance, China was the largest automotive manufacturer in 2020 reaching a mark of 19,994 passenger car productions followed by Japan & South Korea. Thus, the increase in sales of passenger cars is anticipated to drive the organic pigments market growth in this region.
