The author explains what Western European pigment manufacturers are doing to compete with low cost suppliers from the Far East.
In recent years the organic pigment business has witnessed increasing impact from the emergence and growth of 'Low Cost' manufacturers mainly from India and China. Initially, the Indian and Chinese suppliers offered only classical pigments but now are expanding their product offerings to include such pigments as Quinacridone, DDP and Oxide Coated Micas.
The major organic pigment producers have responded to this new competition in a variety of ways to maintain market share and profitability. They all now manufacture on a global basis through acquisitions and joint ventures to take advantage of lower cost production opportunities. The market has also seen an increase in customer partnerships and joint development projects along with increased technical and customer service.
One major advantage that the major organic producers have over low cost suppliers is significantly better research and product development ressources. This paper describes some of the recent advances and developments from Sun Chemical's Performance Pigments business unit. |
