According to Eswara Prasad, Team Lead Chemical Research at AMR, “The rise in construction activities, infrastructural development, automotive, and consumer goods sector has resulted in the increased demand for decorative paints and coatings, which boosts the demand for pigments in the paints & coating industry.”
Pigments are added in paints & coatings to impart colors, improve their quality, and performance. It controls bleeding of paints, and does not blend into other color layers. They are less susceptible to environmental factors and oxidizing gases, and exhibit UV resistant properties due to their high refractive index. They can withstand high temperature, light, abrasion, moisture, acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.
Rapid urbanization in the emerging economies, such as India, China, Brazil, and others, have led to upsurge in civil construction activities and manufacturing automobiles, which is a key driving factor of the paints & coatings industry. In 2015, paints & coatings application segment accounted for two-fifths share of the market in terms of value, and is expected to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. Moreover, upsurge in commercial and residential construction activities in the emerging economies, such as India and China, drive the pigments market in the Asia-Pacific region.
