Paper pigments are fine, inorganic particles added to fill, color or coat paper. Pigments such as titanium dioxide and calcium carbonate are used as fillers and coatings in papermaking. Paper pigments are applied in the presence of a binder, which helps in the adhesion of pigment particles to paper fibers. Paper pigments can be primarily divided into black, white, and colored pigments, which are available in various types.

Paper Pigments Market Dynamics

The global Paper Pigments market is primarily driven by increasing demand for paper in the packaging industry, high demand in developing countries, and sustained demand for uncoated paper are major factors likely to drive the paper pigments market during the forecast period.  The packaging industry is witnessing high growth due to the growing urbanization, demographic changes, rapid growth in emerging economies and technological advancements. Besides, the increasing need for superior-quality coated paper is presenting growth opportunities to the paper pigments market.

However, the paper production industry contributes significantly to carbon dioxide emissions and global warming. Therefore, raising awareness about environmental concerns related to recycling paper and growing digitalization affecting the paper industry is expected to hamper the market growth during the forecast period.

Paper Pigments Market Segmentation

By product, the global Paper Pigments market is segmented into Calcium Carbonate, Kaolin, and Others. Calcium carbonate is the most widely used paper pigment and has been used for the last 30 years. The increasing demand for bright and bulk paper leads to the increasing preference for calcium carbonate over kaolin. Calcium carbonate is less expensive and enables brighter paper than possible with the use of kaolin. The leading countries accounting for a large market share in the paper pigments market are China and the US. The use of calcium carbonate also increases for coated and uncoated papers due to the enhanced brightness imparted to paper.

By application, the global Paper Pigments market is segmented into coated paper and uncoated paper. In 2018, coated paper accounted for the largest share in the global paper pigment market. The need for superior quality paper is increasing, and hence this segment offers significant growth potential for paper pigments in coated papers. In Europe and North America, the growth rate of the coated paper segment is higher than that for the uncoated paper segment. Moreover, the loading percentage of paper pigments going into coating increases; while, the percentage of fillers is relatively lower.

Paper Pigments Market Geographical Analysis

By geography, the global Paper Pigments market is segmented into North America, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Europe, South America, and the Middle East and Africa (MEA).

APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR in the paper pigments market during the forecast period. Due to the low proliferation of technology and lower environmental regulations, there is a sustained increase in the demand for paper in the APAC countries. However, reducing the use of writing paper due to the increasing adoption of electronic devices and digitization might slow the growth during the forecast period. The region also benefits due to the availability of raw materials, which further facilitates the high production of pulp & paper. Countries like China, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, and India lead in terms of paper production and are major consumers of paper pigments.

The market in the region is projected to expand rapidly during the forecast period. The paper pigments market is experiencing strong growth and increasing investments to meet the demand from the paper industry in the Asia Pacific. Due to the low proliferation of technology and less stringent environmental regulations in the region, the paper pigments market in the Asia Pacific is expanding rapidly.
