According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Ceramic Colors market size was valued at US$ 2340 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 3045 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 3.8% during review period.
Ceramic Colors are a general term for coloring materials used in ceramic products. They are mainly composed of a mixture of metal oxides and fluxes, and after high-temperature firing, they display brilliant colors. They are used for decorating the ceramic body, underglaze, overglaze, or within the glaze itself, including cobalt oxide for blue and iron oxide for red/yellow. The purpose is to beautify the appearance of ceramics and enhance their decorative appeal and durability.
The upstream supply chain primarily consists of non-ferrous metal mining and fine chemical suppliers. Core raw materials include zircon sand (used in the production of zirconium-based pigments), non-ferrous metal oxides (such as cobalt oxide, chromium oxide, iron oxide, and titanium oxide), as well as mineralizers and fluxing agents. Global sales are projected to be approximately 705,000 tons in 2025, with an average market price of approximately US$3,226 per ton. The industry's gross profit margin is in the range of 15%–25%.
Continuous technological innovation, particularly the popularization and advancement of digital inkjet printing (IJP) technology, has fundamentally transformed the product form (from powder to specialized inks) and application modes of colorants. This has led to new and more stringent technical requirements for colorant particle size distribution, high-temperature stability, and performance in various substrates, continuously driving a paradigm shift in colorant research and development. The downstream application sectors' relentless pursuit of improved color and performance is driving industry growth. From ceramic tiles to daily-use ceramics and artistic ceramics, the market demands a wider range of colors that are more stable and safer.
