Global Colorants Market
A substance that contains a specific pigment color is referred to as a colorant. This is either applied to its surface or combined with another substance. The outcome is that the material’s hue is altered. Colorants fall into two different types. These are pigments and dyes. While pigments are suspended particle solutions, dyes are solid solutions. The hue of the materials that the Colorants are applied to or blended in will be greatly influenced by the fillers and binders in the Colorants.
Recession Impact
According to our latest report, the global market for Colorants is expected to be significantly impacted by the recession in the future years. In 2023, price growth is predicted to decelerate, but economic growth will also slow down significantly as interest rates rise. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) forecasts worldwide inflation to fall to 6.5% in 2019 from 8.8% in 2022. With inflation only expected to decline to 8.1% in 2023, developing economies are anticipated to get less relief. Energy and raw materials will also continue to be pricey for a while. The partial reversal of globalization results in more expensive imports, labor shortages in many Western nations drive up the cost of production, and the shift to a greener economy to address the biggest threat to our species all drive up inflation.
