Organic Pigments Market Expected to Reach USD 5.57 Billion by 2030, Driven by Growing Demand in Paints, Plastics, and Textiles

Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the “Organic Pigments Market Size,” offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.
Published 04 December 2025

The global organic pigments market is projected to grow from USD 4.27 billion in 2025 to USD 5.57 billion by 2030. Organic pigments, known for their vibrant colors, durability, and eco-friendly properties, are widely used across paints, coatings, plastics, textiles, and personal care products. Increasing focus on sustainable manufacturing processes and the rising need for environmentally safe alternatives to synthetic dyes are fueling demand across industries worldwide.

Key Trends in the Organic Pigments Market

Rising Demand in Paints and Coatings

The paints and coatings industry remains a primary consumer of organic pigments. Organic pigments are increasingly favored for automotive, architectural, and industrial coatings due to their UV resistance, heat stability, and ability to maintain color integrity over time. In the automotive sector, these pigments contribute to decorative and protective finishes that withstand environmental stressors such as sunlight, moisture, and chemical exposure.

Expansion in Plastics and Polymers

The plastics industry has emerged as a key driver for organic pigments. Global plastic resin production reached 400.3 million tons in 2022, highlighting the increasing demand for high-performance pigments. Organic pigments are particularly preferred over dyes due to their color stability, opacity, and heat resistance.

Growth in Textile Applications

The textile sector continues to be a major market for organic pigments. Global textile fiber production is projected to reach 128 million metric tons by 2025, with China remaining a leading contributor. Organic pigments are in demand for their ability to produce consistent, vibrant colors while supporting sustainable production processes.
