Segmentation by type classifies organic pigments into azo pigments, quinacridone pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, perylene pigments, and diarylide pigments. Azo pigments dominate the volume mix, representing about 40% of the market, owing to their cost‑effectiveness and broad hue range suitable for general‑purpose inks. Quinacridone pigments, with a 25% share, are prized for their excellent lightfastness and vivid reds, making them essential for premium color reproduction in high‑end packaging. Phthalocyanine pigments, contributing 20%, deliver deep blues and greens with superior thermal stability, critical for inks exposed to high‑temperature curing processes. Perylene pigments, accounting for 10%, offer intense reds and oranges with exceptional transparency, supporting specialty applications such as security inks. Diarylide pigments, the smallest segment at 5%, are employed where high tinting strength and gloss are required. Each pigment type adds distinct functional attributes that collectively define the market’s overall capacity and growth trajectory.
