Based on type, the paper pigments market has been segmented into calcium carbonate, kaolin, and others. Calcium carbonate is projected to be the largest and the fastest-growing type of paper pigment during the forecast period. The increasing demand for bright and bulk paper is leading to the increasing preference for the use of calcium carbonate over kaolin. Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) is the largest type of calcium carbonate paper pigment. It accounted for a share of 70.0% in the global calcium carbonate paper pigments market, in terms of volume, in 2017. The low cost and easy production process of GCC makes it the most widely used type. Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is the fastest-growing market as it imparts very high brightness to the paper. Increasing demand for coated paper in future is expected to lead to the increasing penetration of PCC, leading to its high growth rate during the forecast period.

Based on application, the paper pigments market has been segmented into coated and uncoated paper. Coated paper is projected to be the largest application of paper pigments during the forecast period. The need for superior quality paper is increasing, offering significant growth potential for coated papers. Moreover, the loading percentage of paper pigments in coating applications is increasing. The use of coated paper is also increasing due to growth of the packaging industry, and hence, is expected to register a higher growth rate. Uncoated paper is also a significant application of paper pigments owing to the high demand for paper pigments for newsprint, writing, and printing paper. Uncoated paper is also expected to witness significant demand in APAC owing to its low cost.

Coated Paper

Paper pigments provide a coating layer on paper which gives uniformity to the paper surface, makes paper whiter, improves opacity, provides the desired finish, imparts printing properties, and improves the shade of the coating. Coated paper has a matte or glossy finish with smoothness and shine. The coating allows the ink to get absorbed into the paper. This creates a cleaner and smoother printing surface, thereby improving the quality of photos and blends.

Modern coatings are composed of pigments, binders, additives, and fluid. The papers are subjected to sizing, coating, and calendering to impart adequate smoothness, brightness, gloss, opacity, ink, and receptivity. Coated paper exhibits resistance to dirt and moisture. It also requires less printing ink as it does not absorb the ink. Coated papers are much heavier than uncoated papers.

Uncoated Paper

Uncoated paper is more widely used than coated paper. It is less smooth than coated paper and absorbs more ink while printing an image. Uncoated paper is also less expensive than coated paper. It is mainly used for applications such as letterheads, envelopes, and forms used for writing and printing.
