Lithopone Market Report by Product (Lithopone 28%, Lithopone 30%, Lithopone 60%), Application (Paints and Coatings, Plastics, Printing Inks, Paper and Pulps, Rubber, Leather, and Others), and Region 2025-2033

The global lithopone market size reached USD 178.4 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 225.2 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 2.49% during 2025-2033.

Lithopone is a white pigment for plastics, such as polyolefin, vinyl resins, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) resin, polystyrene, polycarbonate, nylon, and polyoxymethylene (POM). It has a fine texture with the same tinctorial strength as pure zinc oxide and stronger covering properties than white lead. As it can spread more quickly compared to traditional pigment-oil pastes, lithopone finds application in decorating interior wall surfaces. Besides this, it is widely used in the manufacturing of inks, leather, paper, linoleum, and face powders.

Lithopone Market Trends:

Due to its low binder requirement, there is a rise in the usage of lithopone in paints. This, along with its growing utilization in the plastic processing industry to increase the ultraviolet (UV) tolerance of plastic products, represents one of the key factors driving the market. Moreover, the escalating demand for interior and exterior paints in the residential and industrial sectors is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, there is an increase in the employment of white plastic materials in consumer products worldwide. This, coupled with the rising development in plastic forming technology, is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Furthermore, key market players are extensively investing in research and development (R&D) activities to introduce nanoscale and reinforced lithopone with increased weather resistance. Apart from this, the escalating demand for lithopone to fill tears and holes in leather goods is bolstering the growth of the market. The growing application of lithopone in the pigmentation of natural and synthetic elastomers is projected to strengthen the growth of the market as well as the overall sales and profitability of market players operating in the industry.
