The unexpected shifts in the global markets because of the sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 virus have brought many major and minor tremors to industries of all sizes including the Cosmetic Pigments Market.

It was estimated prior to this unanticipated outbreak that the Cosmetic Pigments Market was expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. However, the gradual slowing down of industries will undoubtedly impose limits on the previously estimated growth rate.

Pigments are materials that change colors of reflected and transmitted light as the result of wavelength selective absorption. Pigments have wide applications in cosmetic products and are called cosmetic pigments. Pigments are environment sensitive as they start fading in prolonged exposure to light. These are both natural and synthetic.

The facial makeup segment is expected to register the largest market share, during the forecast period, driven by the wide application of pigments in foundations.
