According to our (Global Info Research) latest study, the global Inkjet Color Paste market size was valued at US$ 1919 million in 2025 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 2955 million by 2032 with a CAGR of 6.3% during review period.
Inkjet pigment dispersions—commonly referred to in English as “Inkjet Pigment Dispersion,” “Pigment Dispersion for Inkjet Ink,” or “Inkjet Pigment Concentrate”—are high-concentration coloring systems in which pigment particles are stably dispersed in water, solvents, UV monomers, or other carriers through processes such as grinding, surface modification, adsorption by dispersants, or polymer coating.
Inkjet pigment dispersions are core upstream raw materials for inkjet inks; they must be combined with resin binders, humectants, leveling agents, surface tension modifiers, and other additives to produce the final inkjet ink.
Industry Trends
Water-based systems are gradually replacing solvent-based systems
Increasing demands from the food packaging, corrugated cardboard, textile, and commercial printing industries for low VOCs, low odor, and stricter chemical compliance are driving growth in the demand for water-based pigment dispersions. One of the goals of Kao’s disclosed water-based flexible packaging inkjet solution is to reduce VOC emissions compared to traditional solvent-based gravure printing processes.
Particle Size Control Enters the Sub-100-Nanometer Range
High-speed single-pass inkjet printing, piezoelectric printheads, and small-nozzle applications require pigment pastes with narrower particle size distributions, fewer coarse particles, and better long-term stability. Kao’s related nano-dispersion technology controls pigment particle sizes within the range of approximately 50–120 nanometers, while some of Kodak’s ultrafine dispersions typically have particle sizes below 50 nanometers.
Increased Use of Self-Dispersing and Polymer-Coated Technologies
Traditional dispersant systems may lead to issues such as free dispersant migration, reduced water resistance, and insufficient ink film adhesion. The industry is increasingly adopting self-dispersing carbon black, pigment surface modification, and polymer-coating approaches. Orient Chemical’s BONJET line includes self-dispersing products, while Fujifilm RxD emphasizes polymer stabilization and coating technologies.
Textile Pigment Inks Are Growing Faster Than Dye-Based Formulations
Pigment-based textile inkjet printing typically reduces the need for steaming, washing, and extensive wet processing steps, making it suitable for a wide range of fibers and short-process production. The main technical challenges include hand feel, rub fastness, printhead reliability, and compatibility with pre- and post-treatment systems.
