Opportunity: Rapid industrialization in emerging economies

Rapid industrialization in emerging economies in regions such as the Asia Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America is expected to offer opportunities for the growth of the white inorganic pigments market. Building & construction, automotive, packaging, and textile industries have grown significantly over the years. China, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Turkey, Brazil, and Chile have been witnessing rapid growth in key manufacturing sectors. The growth of the manufacturing industry in these countries is further expected to fuel market growth. Government policies in these countries are supporting the growth of industries. In addition, low labor costs, skilled workforces, availability of raw materials, and increasing urbanization have enabled domestic and foreign companies to establish their facilities in these regions. Moreover, the high growth rate of approximately 8% of the plastics industry is projected to increase the consumption of inorganic pigments in these countries. The textiles industry is growing due to the increasing use of fabrics in diverse applications. According to the World Trade Statistical Review, 2018 by the World Trade Organization (WTO), the global market size of textiles was USD 296.1 billion in 2017, and global apparel exports were USD 454.5 billion the same year. Asian countries, especially India, play a crucial role in the global textile industry. India exports most of its apparel to Europe and North America, while China is the largest exporter of apparel at an estimated value of USD 288 billion. This has propelled the demand for white inorganic pigments in fabric printing and offers opportunities for market players.
