MARKET OVERVIEW

1.1 Definition and scope of study

Dyes and pigments are two different substances used in a variety of industries: food, cosmetics, textiles and purely industrial. These substances are used to impart a new color.

A distinction must be made between colorants and pigments. Dyes are soluble and need to be carefully ground. They can be found in the food, chemical, plastics, cosmetics, leather and textile industries.

Pigments, on the other hand, are insoluble. They are ground, dispersed and applied to the surface of the material to be colored. They can be found in cosmetics, inks, paint, plastics, coatings, glass, concrete and ceramics.
