As global manufacturers actively seek sustainable solutions, eco-friendly coatings have become the fastest-growing segment in the metallic pigment market, directly driving demand for aluminum pigments.
Industry analysis shows that the global market for aluminum powder, aluminum paste, and aluminum flakes continues to grow, driven by low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and water-based applications. Automotive, industrial coatings, plastics, and 3C electronics are the main drivers of this growth.
Eco-compliance, durability, and high reflectivity are now the top purchasing criteria among end-users.
To understand the market boom, one must first understand the materials:
Aluminum Paste (AL Paste) is a metallic pigment slurry composed of fine aluminum flakes that provides strong opacity, high reflectivity, and brilliant metallic effects for coatings, inks, and plastics.
Aluminum Powder(AL Powder) is a fine metallic material made from aluminum, commonly used in coatings, inks, and plastics to provide metallic effects, improve thermal conductivity, and enhance chemical stability.
