The scale of production and sales of organic pigments continues to expand, and the industry has broad prospects for development

Organic pigments refer to a class of insoluble, high coloring power organic compounds. Organic pigments are one of the subcategories of colorants. They are mainly dispersed in fine particles in the medium used for coloring. They have good light resistance, solvent resistance, migration resistance, heat resistance, and deformation resistance; high coloring Characterized by strength, brightness, transparency, a wider chromatographic range, and more pigment categories, it has now become a mainstream category in the pigment market.

According to different levels of performance, organic pigments can be divided into classic organic pigments and high-performance organic pigments. Among them, classic organic pigments mainly include azo, triarylmethane, Lissol red, praziquinolone organic pigments, etc.; high-performance organic pigments include benzimidazolones, anthracenes, floral systems, and macromolecules. Classes, dioxins, isocyanins, quintyridones, disazo organic pigments, etc.

There are many types of organic pigments with excellent performance, and they are widely used in industrial coloring fields such as ink printing, coatings, plastics, and rubber. At the same time, in recent years, the application fields of organic pigments in my country have been continuously expanding. It has now expanded from the traditional industrial coloring field to emerging coloring fields such as construction, automobiles, cosmetics, rail transit, and electronic chemistry. Its production and sales scale have shown continued growth. According to the “2022-2026 Organic Pigments Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, 2021 The annual domestic organic pigment output is approximately 225,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 2.9%; the market size is approximately 16.15 billion yuan.

At present, my country is the world’s major producer and consumer of organic pigments. There are a large number of local organic pigment companies. The main companies include Lily Group, North American Pigment Chemicals, Qicai Chemical, Pigment Co., Ltd., Haidi Chemical, Zhengyan Pigment Chemical, Xinli Chemical, and Shun Lian Chemical, Wucai Fine Chemical, Lihe Group, etc.

From the perspective of the market structure, there are currently a large number of domestic organic pigment companies, but most of them are small and medium-sized enterprises with low industry concentration. Among them, only a few companies such as Lily Group, Qicai Chemical, and North American Pigments have ranked second in the world’s organic pigments. Most of the remaining small and medium-sized enterprises are still distributed in the third echelon. In addition, the first echelon of the global organic pigment market is still occupied by leading international companies such as D&E, Dainichi Seika, Clariant, and Toyo Colors. There is still much room for growth in the domestic organic pigment industry in the future, and the industry has huge development potential.

Industrial analysts said that in recent years, against the background of the continuous advancement of dual-carbon goals and the strengthening of environmental protection supervision, some environmental protection standards have not met the standards. Small and medium-sized enterprises have gradually withdrawn from the market, and the market share has gradually moved closer to leading enterprises. The concentration of my country’s organic pigment industry has continued to increase, and the industry development prospects are good. In the future, local organic pigment companies will need to continue to improve their technical level and increase product innovation, thereby accelerating their entry into the high-end market and promoting the continuous improvement of the localization level of the domestic high-end organic pigment market.
