White Inorganic Pigments Global Market Report 2023

The white inorganic pigments are pigments that give light-scattering qualities to coatings. Inorganic pigments are made from a variety of naturally occurring minerals in addition to minerals synthesised artificially utilising mineral compounds such as oxides and sulphides of one or more metals. The white inorganic pigments are used to provide opacity, lighten other colours and are capable of focusing all light wavelengths, causing the human eye to see them as white due to their comparatively high refractive index.

The main type of white inorganic pigments are aluminium silicate, calcium silicate, calcium carbonate, silica, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and others. Aluminium silicate is a chemical compound and a mineral that naturally occurs and comprises of silicon, oxygen, and aluminium, that are used as a white pigment in paints, printing inks and paper. It is used in paints and coatings, adhesives and sealants, plastics, cosmetics, paper, inks, and others.

The global white inorganic pigments market is expected to grow from $20.07 billion in 2022 to $21.58 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%.
