World Demand for Dyes & Organic Pigments to Reach $19.5 Billion

摘要

World demand for dyes and organic pigments is expected to grow six percent per year to $19.5 billion in 2019. Rising consumer spending will drive increased demand for organic colorants in textiles and plastics, while strong growth in global construction activity will boost demand in paints and coatings. Increases in value demand will reflect the growing importance of expensive, higher value dyes and pigments that meet increasingly stringent performance standards and preferences for more environmentally friendly products. Despite the healthy growth, even faster advances will be limited by a moderation in global vehicle production and slow growth in printing inks due to the challenges facing the print media industry. These and other trends are presented in "World Dyes & Pigments," a new study from The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industry research firm.
