The Global Paper Pigments Market is primarily driven by the growing demand for cardboard packaging owing to the increasing manufacturing and e-commerce activities. Other major factor driving the global market include increasing demand for better quality packaging of FMCG products coupled with the rising inclination towards the ready-to-eat food. This can be attributed towards the rising working population, high disposable per capita income, and the changing lifestyle trend of the consumers. Furthermore, the rising demand for bio-degradable, bio-based, and lightweight packaging materials in various end-use industries such as consumer goods, electronics, and pharmaceuticals are propelling the market growth. The high production and sales of consumer goods and electronics in emerging economies of Asia-Pacific is another factor positively influencing the market growth.  Additionally, the paper can be recycled which has benefits such as saving of landfill space, reduction of paper disposal, and is environment-friendly, which further drives the demand for paper pigments.

However, the risks associated with the rising prices of raw materials is likely to hamper market growth during the forecast period.

Market players are focusing on strategic developments such as capacity expansion, partnership, and acquisitions. For instance, in July 2018, Minerals Technologies Inc. signed an agreement with Shouguang Meilun Paper Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Shandong Chenming Paper Holdings Ltd. to build a precipitated calcium carbonate plant at its paper mill in China with a production capacity of 150,000 metric ton per year.
