Economic Aspects
World production of inorganic pigments in 2000 was ca. 5.9 x106 t. About one-third ofthis total is supplied by the United States, one-third by the European Community, and one-third by all the remaining countries. The German pigment industry supplied about 40% of the world consumption of inorganic colored pigments, including about
50% of the iron oxides. Estimated world consumption of inorganic pigments in 2000 can be broken down as follows:
Titanium dioxide
Synthetic iron oxides
Lithopone
Zinc oxide
Effect pigments
Chromates
Chromium oxide
Mixed metal oxide pigments
Ultramarine
Iron blue
Pigment production is still increasing, but the rate of growth has decreased. The value of inorganic pigments has diminished recent years and in 2002 totalled ca. US$ 10 x109. The main manufacturing companies are given in the corresponding sections.
