Natural pigment refers to natural coloured material with pigment characteristics. The organic pigment is a pigment molecule, meaning that as a result of wavelength-selective absorption, it changes the reflection or transmission of light. Also, it is not soluble in coating systems and polymers. Organic pigments in most cases have less coverage capacity than inorganic pigments but have a higher intensity and clarity in colour. The main components are hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen. Organic pigment holds the major market share in the global pigment market followed by inorganic and specialty pigments.
The global Organic Pigment market is anticipated to increase at a 8% CAGR to reach value 9 Billion in 2030
