A majority of the market was taken up by plastics, printing inks, coatings, and paints that were based on aluminum pigments. Aluminum was the preferred metal due to the visual appeal that it brought out. In comparison, 15% of the 2014 global metallic pigments market was held by copper, which is used to apply a gold bronze finishing to products. Copper pigments are in larger use in the application segments of personal care and printing inks. Other major product segments include chromium and stainless steel.
