Global Bio-based Pigments and Dyes Market Size is valued at USD 32.7 Bn in 2024 and is predicted to reach USD 48.8 Bn by the year 2034 at a 4.2% CAGR during the forecast period for 2025-2034.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

InsightAce Analytic follows a standard and comprehensive market research methodology focused on offering the most accurate and precise market insights. The methods followed for all our market research studies include three significant steps – primary research, secondary research, and data modeling and analysis - to derive the current market size and forecast it over the forecast period. In this study, these three steps were used iteratively to generate valid data points (minimum deviation), which were cross-validated through multiple approaches mentioned below in the data modeling section.
Through secondary research methods, information on the market under study, its peer, and the parent market was collected. This information was then entered into data models. The resulted data points and insights were then validated by primary participants.
Based on additional insights from these primary participants, more directional efforts were put into doing secondary research and optimize data models. This process was repeated till all data models used in the study produced similar results (with minimum deviation). This way, this iterative process was able to generate the most accurate market numbers and qualitative insights.
Secondary research
The secondary research sources that are typically mentioned to include, but are not limited to:
The paid sources for secondary research like Factiva, OneSource, Hoovers, and Statista
Primary Research:
Primary research involves telephonic interviews, e-mail interactions, as well as face-to-face interviews for each market, category, segment, and subsegment across geographies
The contributors who typically take part in such a course include, but are not limited to:
Data Modeling and Analysis:
In the iterative process (mentioned above), data models received inputs from primary as well as secondary sources. But analysts working on these models were the key. They used their extensive knowledge and experience about industry and topic to make changes and fine-tuning these models as per the product/service under study.
The standard data models used while studying this market were the top-down and bottom-up approaches and the company shares analysis model. However, other methods were also used along with these – which were specific to the industry and product/service under study.
