Pigments Price Trend and Forecast
Regional Price Overview
Get the latest insights on price movement and trend analysis of Pigments in different regions across the world (Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, and the Middle East & Africa).
For the First Half of 2022
The acute energy crisis which unfolded as one of the direct consequences of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine geopolitical conflict caused double-digit inflation in the fragile economies still dealing with the aftermath of the covid-19 pandemic. The surging crude oil prices, complicated logistics, and labour shortages raised the operating costs of pigment manufacturers.
LANXESS-one of the leading global chemical giants raised the prices of iron oxide pigments by 400 Euro/MT from the Germany site and around 200 Euro/MT hike for the Porto Feliz site in Brazil.
The manufacturers are not able to pass the raised production costs to the consumers as the demand is already eroding in the consumer market; any further price hike will lead to demand destruction negatively impacting the profit margins of manufacturers. In the US, the Producer Price Index for organic synthetic pigments went from 175.047 in January to 184.213 in June 2022.

About
A Pigment refers to a material which can modify, change or alter the colour of the reflected light as a result of the wavelength-selective absorption. They improve the properties of a substance, and unlike dyes, do not rely on water solubility for their application. Pigments are available in both temporary and permanent forms. Fugitive, that is, temporary pigments fade over time upon exposure to heat and light, while some eventually blacken. They find applications in industries like plastics, construction, textile, and others.

Production Process
- Production of Pigments via Extraction from Coal Tars and Other Petrochemicals; via Aromatic Hydrocarbons; and via Oxidation
While the synthetic organic pigments are extracted from coal tars and other petrochemicals, inorganic pigments are produced via the process of oxidation. Mostly, organic pigments are synthesised from aromatic hydrocarbons, which contain structures of carbon atoms with attached hydrogen atoms forming closed rings. An example of such organic pigments include azo pigments, which have a nitrogen group attached to it.
