Synthetic Dye and Pigment Global Market Report 2024

The synthetic dye and pigment market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $67.11 billion in 2023 to $73.91 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.1%. The historical growth in the synthetic dye and pigment sector can be attributed to the expansion of emerging markets, governmental initiatives, decreased interest rates, global population growth, and the availability of a diverse range of synthetic dyes.

The synthetic dye and pigment market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $105.18 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The anticipated growth in the synthetic dye and pigment sector can be attributed to an increasing demand for high-performance pigments, a surge in demand from various end-user industries, and a rising need within the packaging sector. Major trends in the forecast period include significant investments in the production of a wide range of high wet-fast disperse dyes, the adoption of IoT technology and big data analytics to optimize manufacturing processes and reduce production costs, a shift in manufacturing capacities from the western regions to low-cost countries for cost savings, and substantial investments in research and development activities and technological innovation aimed at creating products with enhanced physical and chemical properties.

The growth of the synthetic dyes and pigments market is anticipated to be propelled by the rapidly expanding packaging industry, particularly in emerging economies. This surge is attributed to heightened demand in various sectors such as toiletries, food and beverages, and healthcare. The market is poised for further growth with the introduction of high-quality digital printing applications for flexible packaging and labeling. The increasing preference for digital printing, driven by the need for superior print quality, is expected to boost the demand for packaging printing, thereby influencing the synthetic dyes and pigments market.

The synthetic dye and pigment market are expected to experience growth due to the rising textile industry. The textile industry encompasses the production, processing, and distribution of fibers, fabrics, and textiles used in the manufacturing of clothing, home textiles, and various industrial and consumer goods. Synthetic dyes and pigments play a crucial role in enhancing the textile industry by offering a diverse range of vibrant and long-lasting color options for fabrics. This enables manufacturers to meet consumer demand for diverse and attractive clothing and textiles, while ensuring color consistency and durability in the final products. For instance, in 2022, the National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) reported that shipments of man-made fiber, textiles, and garments from the United States were estimated at $65.8 billion, up from $64.04 billion in 2021. Therefore, the growing textile industry is a significant driver of the synthetic dye and pigment market's expansion.

Numerous textile companies are embracing the use of eco-friendly dyes in their textile and fabric production processes. These companies are opting for dyes that are not environmentally harmful, as traditional dyes are known to cause significant damage to the environment and can lead to skin allergies and respiratory diseases. The positive environmental attributes and lower toxicity of eco-friendly organic dyes are driving the shift toward their adoption, despite their higher cost compared to inorganic dyes. Leading companies in the production of eco-friendly dyes include DyStar, Huntsman, and Archroma.

Key players in the synthetic dye and pigment market are actively engaged in the development of sustainable products, exemplified by innovations such as Xennia Pearl pigment ink.
