Organic pigments have a wide range of downstream applications, and domestic companies have large room for improvement.

Organic pigments refer to a type of organic compound pigments with color and a series of other pigment properties. Organic pigments are insoluble organic substances. Compared with inorganic pigments, organic pigments have the advantages of strong tinting power, low relative density, good non-toxic properties, and complete chromatography. In recent years, with the upgrading of market demand and related technological advancements, the performance of organic pigment products has been greatly improved, and downstream applications have gradually expanded to coatings, inks, plastics, rubber, synthetic fibers, food, automobiles, construction and other fields.

According to the “2021-2025 Organic Pigments Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospects Forecast Analysis Report released by the Industrial Research Center, in recent years In recent years, as the global industry has shifted eastward, the Asia-Pacific region has gradually become the world’s largest organic pigment market, accounting for more than 40% of the market, followed by Europe, with a market share of about 25%. In 2021, the global organic pigment market will reach US$5.4 billion. In the international market, organic pigment suppliers mainly include companies such as BASF of Germany, Dainichi Seika of Japan, Clariant of Switzerland, Toyo Colors of Japan, Kaibo of Germany, and Ferro of the United States. .

From the perspective of the industrial chain, the upstream of the organic pigment industry chain is the raw material supply layer, involving toluene, xylene, naphthalene, ethylene and other raw materials; the midstream is the organic pigment production layer, with many types of organic pigment products, including azo, phthalocyanine Among them, azo organic pigments account for the highest output and are the mainstream pigment type; the downstream of the industrial chain is the application layer, including the application of organic pigments in printing, inks, coatings, plastics and other fields. The demand is relatively large.

my country is one of the major producers of organic pigments in the world. There are a large number of domestic organic pigment production companies, but overall they are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises. Due to backward technology and insufficient corporate innovation capabilities, domestic organic pigments are mainly concentrated in the mid- to low-end fields, and the products The homogenization phenomenon is serious, market competition is relatively fierce, and the organic pigment industry is developing slowly. In recent years, in order to promote the development of the industry, relevant departments have introduced a number of regulatory policies. Under the guidance of the policies, the organic pigment market has gradually developed for the better, and market concentration has also increased.

While my country’s organic pigment production capacity meets domestic market demand, it is also exported to overseas markets, with exports accounting for about 50%, mainly to European and American markets. In 2020, the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation issued the “Announcement on Increasing the Export Rebate Rate for Some Products”, increasing the export rebate rate for organic pigments from 0% to 13%. The release of this policy is expected to further enhance the market competitiveness of domestic organic pigments.

Industry analysts said that organic pigments have a wide range of applications. With my country’s economic growth, the market demand for organic pigments continues to be released, and there is room for future industry development. broad. At this stage, my country has become a major producer and exporter of organic pigments in the world. However, domestic products are mainly concentrated in the mid- to low-end fields and are often at a disadvantage in international high-end market competition. In the future, my country’s organic pigment companies will still need to increase investment in research and development and improve product quality. , to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
