The Japan market is registering a CAGR of 7.7% during 2024-2031. Additionally, the India market is expected to showcase a CAGR of 9.1% during 2024-2031.
The applications of paper pigments are vast and diverse, spanning numerous industries and sectors. For example, paper pigments are fundamental to the world of art and design, where they are used in various mediums such as watercolors, acrylics, gouache, pastels, and markers. Artists use pigments to create vibrant and expressive artworks, from intricate illustrations to bold paintings. The pigment choice influences the color and the artwork’s texture, opacity, and overall aesthetic.
Furthermore, paper pigments are crucial in creating visually appealing and functional packaging solutions in the packaging industry. Pigments print vibrant graphics, brand logos, and product information on paper-based packaging materials for food and beverage packaging, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or consumer goods. The colors and designs applied using pigments help brands differentiate their products on the retail shelf, attract consumer attention, and convey brand identity.
The expanding paper industry in India, driven by population growth, urbanization, industrialization, and increasing literacy rates, leads to a higher demand for paper products across various sectors. This increased demand drives the need for paper pigments to enhance paper products' optical properties and print quality. In terms of value, $3.17 billion of paper, paperboard & newsprint was exported in 2021-22, as against $1.94 billion in the previous year. This added nearly $1.23 billion (in percentage, 63% growth) to the nation’s growth.
