Bio-based Pigments and Dyes Market

Biologic pigments and dyes are organic colorants derived from plants. People can get them from all renewable resources: plants, fruits, and vegetables. Compared to synthetic pigments and dyes derived from fossil fuels, those derived from bio-based resources are more sustainable and have extended shelf life. Their widespread use is seen in numerous industries, including textiles, printing inks, paints & coatings, and cosmetics. Increased consumer interest in sustainable and environmentally friendly products is fueling the rapid expansion of the bio-based pigments and dyes industry.

The market is defined by the increasing use of bio-based pigments and dyes in a wide range of products, such as textiles, coatings, and printing inks. To satisfy the increasing demand for eco-friendly products, manufacturers emphasize developing novel, high-performance bio-based pigments and dyes. Furthermore, sustainability has become more important as customers become more aware of the need to protect the environment. Plant-based pigments and dyes are gaining popularity in several sectors as a sustainable and less harmful substitute for traditional synthetic colorants.

However, the market growth is hampered by the lack of awareness criteria for the safety and health of the bio-based pigments and dyes market. The product's inability to prevent fog in environments with dramatic temperature fluctuations or high bio-based pigments and dyes is because of the extensive procedures needed for their extraction; pigments and dyes derived from biological sources tend to be more costly than their synthetic equivalents. Their production cost is higher, which makes them less attractive in price-sensitive markets. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Producing and distributing bio-based pigments and dyes has been affected by the pandemic's disruption of worldwide supply networks and industrial operations. There have been delays and interruptions in the supply chain due to the difficulties caused by international trade and transportation limitations.

Market Segmentation:

The bio-based pigments and dyes market is segmented based on production and application. Based on production, the market is segmented into microorganisms and plant origin material. Microorganisms segment further sub-segmented into algae, fungi/fungus and bacteria. By application, the market is segmented into textiles, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, pens & ink, bioplastic, and food & beverage.

Based on the Production, the Microorganisms Segment is Accounted as a Major Contributor to the Bio-based Pigments and Dyes Market

Microorganisms' bio-based pigments and dyes market is expected to hold a major global market share in 2022. Microbes produce valuable pigments in the food industry, including carotenoids, melanins, and violaceus, used to color foods. The desire to transition from synthetic to natural food colors drives the demand for microbial pigments. Beverages and foods that undergo fermentation use microorganisms in their manufacturing. There is evidence that microbes and higher creatures engage in symbiotic relationships.

Textiles Segment to Witness Growth at a Rapid Rate

The textile industry makes up the bulk of ester usage because bio-based colorants in textile production have been prompted by the growing demand for organic and environmentally conscious fabrics, especially in countries like the US, Germany, the UK, China, and India.

In the Region, the North American Bio-based Pigments and Dyes Market Holds a Significant Revenue Share

The North American bio-based pigments and dyes market is expected to register the highest market share in revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to the increased pace of population expansion and the surge in biotechnology research. In addition, Asia Pacific is projected to grow rapidly in the global bio-based pigments and dyes market because of high demand from the region's textile, construction, and automotive sectors. The availability of dyes and pigments has also been boosted by supportive government programs that aim to boost the indigenous chemical sector.

Recent Developments:

  • In October 2023, PILI announced that $15.8 million had been raised in Series A investment to expedite its industrialization and produce the first tons of high-performance bio-based indigo. It was Bpifrance's Ecotechnologies 2 fund that pushed for this funding. Elaia Partners and Famille C Participations were among the other investors.
  • In January 2024, Clariant, a German specialty chemical company emphasizing sustainability, announced that it would terminate the production of sun liquid bioethanol in Podari, Romania, and reduce related activities within its Biofuels & Derivatives business line.
