AMR assesses global spending at $20 bn for pigments & $15 bn for nanomaterials
FOCUS methods for measuring the impact of TiO2 content on the weather-resistance of paints. Dr Annabelle Legrix (of Imerys) discussed the use of calcined kaolin in matt architectural paints, with particular reference to partial TiO2 substitution. It is also worth highlighting some of the relevant product presentations that made a useful contribution to the programme that ran continuously in Halls 1, 5 and 7 during the European Coatings Show. Dr Markus Mahn (of Merck) highlighted his company's Meoxal luminous metal-effect pigments. Several speakers from Hoffmann Mineral spoke about various applications for the company's Neuburg siliceous earth: Dr Meinhart Roth discussed the Silfit Z-91 grade as an eco-friendly TiO2 extender in decorative emulsion paints; Dr Bodo Essen spoke about the use of this speciality mineral for stain resistance and enhancing the performance of cleanable interior decorative emulsion paints; and Dr Susanne Reiter spoke about using Neuburg siliceous earth for optimising the corrosion protective performance of a waterborne clear 2K epoxy coating. Ms Christelle Mercier (of Sté Nouvelle des Couleurs Zinciques, SNCZ) highlighted her company's ecofriendly anti-corrosive pigments. Mr Emmanuel Bertin (of Imerys) discussed the applications for wollastonite in industrial paints. Dr Thomas Schlosser (of Evonik) spoke about Aerosil and Dynaslan in paint formulations. Dr Franjo Gol (of OMG Borchers) discussed his company's unique solutions to various regulatory concerns affecting the use of cobalt compounds and methyl ethyl ketone oxime (MEKO) in paints. Mr Veli Kilpeläinen (of Mondo Minerals) discussed the use of talc in highperformance paints. Mr Roger Reinartz (of Evonik) provided several answers for customers struggling to find additives that comply with the ever-tighter regulations on food-contact materials. Ms Agnès Fiolet (of Imerys) highlighted the use of her company's mineral products for stain-blocking applications. And Ms Julie Reid (of Billions Europe) spoke about the new TiO2 pigment grades now available from the Lomon Billions chloride-route TiO2 pigment plant in China. Although only a few weeks have passed since the closing of this year's European Coatings Conference, Vincentz is already busy preparing for the next one, which will be held in

MARKETS AMR assesses global spending at $20 bn for pigments & $15 bn for nanomaterials Allied Market Research LLP (AMR, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, USA) was founded only four years ago, but it has also built up an impressive portfolio of published market research reports on a wide variety of industries, including paints, rubber, chemicals, consumer products, healthcare equipment, life science materials, etc. In addition to its US head office, AMR has branch sales offices in London, Sao Paulo, Pune, Delhi, Hong Kong and Singapore. According to the Feedspot survey, AMR has been judged to be one of the world's top 16 generators of market research blogs, after Forrester, AC Nielsen, GfK, Mintel, BCC and others. The company describes itself as the full-service market research and business consultancy wing of Allied Analytics LLP (headquartered in Pune, India). Allied Analytics manufactures luxury furniture, gymnasium equipment and personal care electrical appliances. AMR has recently published a whole slew of market research reports, some of which may be of interest to readers of 'Focus on Pigments.' In its report on world consumption of pigments of all types (1), AMR assesses global spending on pigments at $20.023 bn in 2015 and forecasts that this will increase at an average rate of 4.14% per annum to reach $26.598 bn by 2022. The paint industry will remain the largest end-use sector for pigments. Paint manufacturers spent about $8 bn on pigments in 2015, representing 40% of the total. Spending on pigments by paintmakers is forecast to increase at 4.6% per annum, reaching $11 bn by 2022. Asia/Pacific will remain the most important region and is destined to increase its lead over
the next six years. Within Asia/Pacific, China currently accounts for 60% of the regional total. Growth in the automotive and construction industries will help to fuel pigment demand growth. The degree of innovation in an industry is sometimes measured by the number of relevant patents registered within a recent timeframe, though this is actually a rather crude method and can yield some surprising results. AMR's pigments report includes a chapter on patent analysis, counting up the number of separate patents related to pigments registered during the 20 months up to end-October 2016. Top of the league was BASF, followed by Eckart, Merck, Qingdao Zhongren Ziye, Canon, DIC, Hefei Sunrise, DuPont, Lanxess and Changshu Huahong. In its report on nanomaterials of all types (2), AMR assesses global spending on nanomaterials at $14.741 bn in 2015. This is forecast to increase nearly fourfold, rising at an average rate of 20.7% per annum, to reach $55.016 bn by 2022. SiO2 and TiO2 are the two most popular oxidebased nanomaterials. In volume terms, the consumption of nano-SiO2 is forecast to increase from 198 M kilos in 2015 to 786 M kilos in 2022, indicating average growth of 21.8% per annum. Nano-clays are also prominent and the consumption of nano-clays is forecast to rise at 24.9% per annum over the next six years. In order of importance, the major end-use sectors for nanomaterials are: paints, electronics, consumer goods, energy, adhesives & sealants. At present, the paints industry accounts for 20% of global nanomaterials consumption. Over the next six years, the fastest growing sector, in terms of value, will be the personal care products sector, with spending increasing at an average rate of 22% per annum. North America is expected to retain its position as the world's largest region, in terms of nanomaterials consumption (by value). Over the next six years, North America's spending on nanomaterials will increase at 20.5% per annum, while the comparable figure for Asia/Pacific will be 21.4%. AMR's report includes a chapter profiling the major nanomaterials suppliers, namely: Ahlstrom, Air Products, Arkema, CNano Technologies, Daiken Chemicals, DuPont, Fuso Chemical, MKnano, Nanoco, Nanocyl, NanoIntegris, Nanophase Technologies, Nanosys, Southern Clay Products, TDA Research and Umicore. AMR has also published separate reports on nano-ZnO (3) and nano-TiO2

FOCUS (4). Global spending on nano-ZnO is forecast to rise at 20.4% per annum from $2.099 bn in 2015 to $7.066 bn by 2022. Global spending on nano-TiO2 is forecast to rise at 20.7% per annum from $4.486 bn in 2015 to $16.682 bn by 2022. For both nano-ZnO and nanoTiO2, the cosmetics industry will continue to be the largest end-use sector, while Asia/Pacific will continue to be the largest region. In the case of nano-TiO2, the cosmetics industry accounts for 33% of global consumption (in terms of both value and volume). AMR's report includes a chapter profiling the major nano-TiO2 suppliers, namely: BASF, Cabot, Cinkarna, Cristal, Croda International, DuPont, Evonik, Huntsman International, Nano-Oxides Inc, NanoScale Corp, and Tayca. In its report on anti-corrosion paints (5), AMR assesses global spending on anti-corrosion paints at $14.276 bn in 2015. This is forecast to increase at an average rate of 9.3% per annum, reaching $26.63 bn by 2022. In this report, the world and regional markets are segmented by paint type, by geographical region and by end-user sector. Paint types comprise: epoxy, polyurethane, acrylic, alkyd, zinc, chlorinated rubber, and others. The "others'' category includes: silicates, fluorocarbons, copolymers, graphene, ceramic, and glass flakes. Paint types are also differentiated as between: solvent-borne, water-borne, powder coatings and others. Major end-use sectors for anti-corrosion paints comprise: marine, oil & gas, industrial, construction, automotive, energy (power plants, solar energy and wind turbines). Company profiles included in this report cover some of the major players, namely: 3 M, AkzoNobel, BASF, Hempel, Kansai Paints, Nippon Paints, PPG, Sherwin-Williams, Dow Chemical and Wacker Chemie. Mention is also made of: Axalta, Ashland, Clariant, Diamond Vogel, Jotun, RPM, Solvay and SonoTek Corp. Also, AMR is currently compiling a report on the world market for natural and synthetic iron oxide pigments, which will follow a similar lay-out to the five reports referenced here.
