U.S. Pigment Dispersion Market Is Witnessing Significant Growth Due To Increased Consumer Preference For Brightly Packaged Food Products Till 2025

The U.S. pigment dispersion market size is expected to reach USD 7.08 billion by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., exhibiting a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. Pigment dispersions are insoluble coloring agents used to impart color to various materials and can be classified into organic and inorganic types. Various pigment dispersions are available in the market and their choice depends on specific applications desirable in end-use industries.

Pigment dispersions contain at least one chemical compound, which absorbs and reflects light in order to impart color to various substrates used. Inorganic pigments constitute titanium dioxide, iron oxide, chrome green, ultramarine blue, carbon black, and others. Inorganic pigments are the widely preferred in various end-use industries as they are abundantly available and inexpensive. However, some inorganic pigments such as lead chromate are considered hazardous upon consumption.

Among inorganic pigments, titanium dioxide is widely used for imparting white color to food packaging materials such as plastic, paper, and paperboard. Though titanium dioxide and iron oxide are synthetically produced, they are considered non-toxic in many food substance contact applications.

Demand for pigment dispersions is growing on account of increasing food processing industries for aesthetic packaging material as well as rising use of plastic, paper, and paperboard materials in food packaging.

To tap into the existing growth potential, various manufacturers such as BASF Corporation, The Chemours Company, and Tronox Limited have strengthened their presence in the market. Manufacturers such as Lanxess Corporation USA and BASF Corporation are offering a diverse range of pigments that impart yellow, red, and green color to plastic and paper packaging materials.

Plating on Plastics Market To Reach $777.27 Million By 2025: Grand View Research, Inc.

The global plating on plastics market is expected to reach USD 777.27 million by 2025, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising applications in automotive and electronics industry has been a major factor driving the market growth. POP involves plating a metal such as chrome, nickel and others onto a polymer substrate. It is done in order to deliver functional and decorative benefits to the resin. 

Plating ability has an inverse relation with the chemical resistance of the polymer substrate, which means higher the chemical resistance, the more difficult it is to plate. Thus, manufacturers prefer ABS for plating. ABS was estimated as the largest plastic category in 2016 and is expected to grow substantially over the forecast period. Other popular plastic types include ABS/PC, PBT, PEEK and others. 

U.S. POP market revenue by plating, 2014 - 2025 (USD Million)

Applications in electronics are expected to register the fastest growth over the next eight years with an estimated CAGR of around 8.1% from 2017 to 2025. Added benefits of metal to the plastic substrate enhance the overall strength, aesthetic appearance and corrosion resistance of the product. The finished product is light weight and is ideal to be used in automotive, electronics and other end use industries. Increasing environmental concerns and need for cheaper light weight vehicles is posing higher demand for POP market. The application areas of POP are also expanding in utilities, medical devices and consumer goods owing to their wide benefits.
