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.
While pigment colour additives are a relatively minor component of cosmetics and toiletries as regards dollar expenses, they are a big reaction for the consumer. As a result, in products sold for natural skin tones, pigments are of particular importance. Their application in cosmetic include enhancement of the facial feature, toe nails, finger, and eye catching optical shadows.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) :
The market value of organic pigment market in 2025 was USD 600 million.
The organic pigment market is growing at a CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period.
The application of the organic pigment market Textiles, Printing Inks, Plastics, Paint & Coatings and other.
Asia Pacific dominated the market for organic pigment market and accounted for the largest revenue share.
The top companies that hold the market share in organic pigment market are Dominion Colour Corporation, Toyocolor, Dainichiseika Color & Chemicals, BASF, Clariant, DIC Corporation, Sudarshan Chemical, Heubach GmbH, Trust Chem Co. Ltd., Ferro Corporation & among others.
The biological pigment market is projected to grow most in paints and coatings because of the increasing demand from industrial coatings, marine coatings, automotive coatings, and decorative coatings. Nevertheless, in construction, especially in the developed and developing countries, it is estimated that organic pigments are used in decorative covering. The inclusion of organic pigments in special shades makes them attractive and beautifully sophisticated. The organic pigments are environmentally friendly and have no dangerous substances in them. Also, the growing application of organic pigment to improve the aesthetics of packing in the packaging industry stimulates market growth.
Derivative Segment
On the basis of Derivative segment, the market is categorized into Azo, Phthalocyanine, and others. Azo dominated the global market in terms of derivative. The largest, most diverse and most significant synthetic organic dye group is constituted by Azo pigments. Azo pigments can be developed almost in any nuance, but the range is limited in practice to the warm side of the colour wheel. The Phthalocyanine is better and cheaper, whilst the few violet Azo pigments are impermanent.
Application Segment
On the Applications, the market is bifurcated into textiles, printing inks, plastics, paint & coatings, textile industry, others. Textiles dominated the global organic pigment application market and is anticipated to show similar trend over the forecast period. Asia Pacific will be the major destination for the increasing sales of organic pigments in the textile industry because majority of the world textile and consumer plastics are produced in this region.
Printing inks and paints and coatings are other key application area of organic pigments. However, consumer tastes for fresh, unique, non-blurry, but environmentally friendly textile colours increase value growth, whereas textile manufacturers are more turned onto these modern, higher-value items. Paints and coating is the fastest growing segment followed by plastics.
