Dyes and Pigments are colorants or substances that impart color to textile, plastics, concrete, & paper, so Dye is a soluble substance on which it is applied, and pigments are water & oil insoluble colorants that impart color to substances such as paper, plastics, paints, concrete. According to BlueQuark Research and Consulting, the global dyes & pigments market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors, like the usage of dyes & pigments in the textile industry, due to use in color polyesters & cotton fabrics are colored using vat, reactive & direct dyes are expected to drive the global dyes & pigments market in the forecasted period. Further, the use of dyes & pigments is widely adopted for paint & coating applications and is expected to drive the global dyes & pigments market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the construction industry utilizes dyes & pigments for dying pavers, concrete masonry, tiles, pipes, panels & precast walls to enhance the overall aesthetic appeal. The opacity & durability of the products is expected to drive the global dyes & pigments market in the forecasted period. However, fluctuating raw materials costs, reduction in free trade, growing demand for natural dyes & pigments & outbreak of coronavirus could hinder the growth of the paints& pigment growth in the market in the forecasted period.

Dyes and Pigments refer to various coloring agents used for adding colors to commercially used textiles, plastics, papers, leather, rubber & other beverages. Dyes are water-soluble substances that are majorly used in liquid form on plastics, fabrics, leather, paper &wood products. On the other hand, pigments are coloring available in small insoluble particles that disperse in liquid paint or ink. 

A significant growth driver for the Global Dyes and Pigments Market is product consumption due to high application scope and increasing demand from the textile, paints & coating industry. Dyes and pigments transmit color to the substance by reflecting the light of a particular wavelength. The shade of color depends on the amount of light scattered. Hence, a substance reflecting more light emerges to be darker. However, in the case of pigments, light scattering also depends on the particle size and refractive index of pigments and their binders. Reactive dyes are commonly worn for dyeing cellulosic fibers. The dye and pigment market is mainly driven by increasing needs from the end-use industries. High demand for high-performance pigments is also contributing to the market's growth. The reactive dyes segment dominated the market, and these products are composed of highly colored organic substances & have primary application in tinting textiles. They have a high resistance to fading & are available in a range of bright shades, making them suitable for coloring cotton and rayon. They can form a covalent bond with the fiber during dying, including a parent dye, a linking group, & an active group. These advantages enable them to possess characteristics that are superior & preferable to other dyes used in cellulose fibers. Pigments are finely ground natural or synthetic, and insoluble particles are used to impart color when added to paints & coating formulations & also used to impart built or a desired physical & chemical property to the wet or dry film. Inorganic pigments earned a higher value in the market than organic ones due to properties, such as good wetting, darker color, & leanness, as the organic pigments segment is anticipated the market growth. Stringent regulations affecting the inorganic pigments demand are also likely to provide scope for organic pigment through internal product substitution.

The Asia-Pacific region is expected to dominate the dyes & pigments market across the globe, with the most significant consumption from countries such as China & India. The growth of the textile industry in this region is rapidly increasing with the availability of a cheap labor force. A solid domestic manufactured fiber industry & a robust non-woven production sector are providing the manufacturers an opportunity to focus on the production of high-end textiles in the country. Architectural and decorative coatings account for the enormous consumption of pigments in their output. Also, Asia Pacific is rising construction & infrastructure activities act as the major drivers for the dye & pigment market. Paperboard packaging has become relevant in the packaging sector and printing ink industry due to its durable design properties. Growing demand for dyes and pigments from the packaging sector is one of the main drivers for the global printing ink industry. During the forecast period, foreign shipping of non-consumer products is expected to boost the packaging sector. The cosmetic industry's growth aids the growth of the pigment market in the country. Due to enhancing living standards and evolving lifestyles, the need for cosmetic products such as skincare, haircare, and perfume is overgrowing, giving the Indian cosmetics industry a significant boost. The cosmetic industry is a crucial application sector for the pigments market. Furthermore, in the automotive industry, paints and coatings are utilized in the interior and exterior parts of the vehicle, as they provide protection and appeal to cars. They are used in metallic pieces and plastic vehicle components of automobiles. All the above factors are predicted to drive the global market during the forecasted period.

Some market players are BASF SE, Clariant AG, DIC Corporation, Sudarshan Chemical Industries Ltd., Atul Ltd, and Huntsman Corporation.
