LAMEA Quinacridone Pigments Market

Market Overview

The LAMEA quinacridone pigments market is expected to reach a value of 42.05 million USD by 2030, with a CAGR of 3.4%.

Quinacridone, which is primarily a molecule composed of inorganic elements, is used in the production of organic pigments. The compounds, which together make up a family of synthetic pigments, are principally put to use in the manufacturing of high-performance paints, inks, and coatings, amongst other applications. Because of the linear nature of the product, its application in the commercial sector is of utmost importance.

These pigments result in the production of seven distinct types of brilliant and striking colours. These hues range from a brilliant yellow to a vivid purple. They are preferred over other pigments for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to their excellent bleed and resistance to heat, their deep and vibrant colours, their high transparencies, and their very good tinting value and working properties.

Pigments made of quinacridone are used in a variety of commercial applications, including the production of paints, coatings, and inks, as well as the colouring of textiles and plastics. Pigments made of quinacridone are most commonly used in the coatings of automobiles, but they are also suitable for use in the paints used by artists, such as oils, acrylics, and watercolours.

When nanocrystalline dispersions of the compound are made to functionalize with solubilizing surfactants, the compound is then utilised in the production of printing ink. Due to the fact that their particles are so small, they can be used as printing inks. There are a few different magenta shades that are manufactured and labelled as "The Violet" and "Acra Violet" using the chemical Quinacridone. Organic pigments are processed to become some of the most powerful, saturated, and powerful tinting colourants available. If the substance is put to use as a dye, the fabric will readily absorb the colour.

Market Dynamics

Market Drivers

• Increasing purchasing power, hence increasing demand for Quinacridone Pigments

The demand for quinacridone is substantial, and it is anticipated that this will continue to be the case over the coming several years. The market is being driven by its application as a coating for automobiles. Consumers are drawn in by the product's brilliant hues as well as its diverse colour palette. It is anticipated that the ever-expanding vehicle sector in emerging countries will be the primary driver of growth in the market for quinacridone pigment. The expansion of the markets for textiles and plastics, which are occurring simultaneously with that of the automotive industry, will provide additional impetus for the market for quinacridone.

The increased purchasing power of consumers, the expanding construction industry in developing nations, and the demand among consumers for an improved standard of living are all factors that are driving growth in these industries. The market for quinacridone pigments is also benefiting from these factors. Because of the size of its individual particles, quinacridone pigments are also utilised in the production of printing ink. As a result of this, it is utilised extensively in the printing industries of books, magazines, and newspapers. In addition, there is a demand for printing ink in offices and businesses so that documents can be printed.

Market Restraints

• High Variations within the Printing Ink Prices to Restrict Market Growth

The superior properties of constituents such as pigments, binders, solubilizers, and additives to produce text, design, or images, along with rising demand from the packaging sector, commercial printing, and changing consumer preferences, are expected to keep these solutions in high demand in the future. However, due to the slow rise in product prices induced by the industry's intense rivalry, downward pricing pressure will likely hinder revenue growth in printing inks.

Further, the use, manufacture, and distribution of numerous inorganic solvents and hazardous metals are restricted by stringent regulatory frameworks such as the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the United States Food and Drug Administration. As a result, it is expected to hinder market growth throughout the forecast period.
