Special effect pigment is a specific material that changes the color of light reflected and spread due to wavelength-selective absorption. The physical process differs depending on the type of luminescence, such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, and so on. Special effect pigments are used in several applications, including jewelry, cosmetics, and coatings, to create unique optical effects.
The selection and orientation of nanoparticles allow for birefringent, pearlescent, and angle-dependent color. Structural color is another class of pigments where the color is obtained through the periodic ordering of nanoscale features, similar to the opalescence of a butterfly wing. It also has magnetic, corrosion-inhibiting, electrical, and electromagnetic properties. The companies use special effect pigment to dye other materials. It's also used in various applications, including paint and coatings, printing inks, plastics, and more.

These pigments are in great demand in a wide range of paints & coatings, plastics, printing inks, as these impart properties such as enhanced appearance, excellent glitter, shimmer, shine, and luster to products.
Furthermore, these special effect pigments have given automotive manufacturers a chance to develop their distinctive color effects. They fulfill multiple technical requirements, including the ability to withstand the ravages of weather and UV rays. Thus improving the paints and coating industry accelerates the growth of the special effect pigments market in recent times.
Increasing cosmetic industry market share since the past few decades and acceptance of special pigments in nail paints, eyeshadows, lipsticks is expected to improve the market share of the product in the coming years
The cosmetics industry is still on the lookout for new coloristic effects that visually appeal to customers. Aside from color and effect, the pigments should also have beneficial skin-caring properties and be simple to apply. Special effect pigments, the most important examples of
which are pearlescent pigments and metal effect pigments. Cosmetic pigments are used the most in facial makeup. Foundation, blushers, skin bronzing lotions, creams, powders, loose & pressed powders, and mineral powders are all examples of facial makeup. Foundations are light-colored cosmetics added to the face to give the appearance of a more even skin tone. Titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, and kaolin are the coverage pigments used in facial makeup. These provide a white color that scatters light and brings out the natural color of the skin. These ingredients also have the benefit of being UV-protective. Cosmetic pigments, such as titanium dioxide, are used in facial makeup applications such as foundations, blushers, and powders.
High raw material costs, low-cost imports from developing countries, failure to meet international quality requirements in local manufacturing of special effect pigments are the major challenging factors hampering the growth of the market
Failure to meet international quality requirements in local manufacturing of special effect pigments, high raw material costs, and low-cost imports from developing countries are expected to challenge the growth of the special effect pigment market over the forecast period. Furthermore, in major economies worldwide, such as Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Japan, and Italy, dismantled or stagnant defense budgets are used to grow on the special effect pigments market.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis on Special Effect Pigments Market
