Pigment Green prices in Germany, the highest-cost reporting region, rose 2.7% in Q2 2026 to USD 6,420.00/MT from USD 6,250.00/MT in Q1, extending a consistent upward trend that has closely tracked the broader phthalocyanine pigment family throughout the period. Indian prices rose 2.7% to USD 5,720.00/MT, continuing this market's firm trajectory following a 3.1 percent quarterly gain reported earlier in the year. Globally, the average rose from USD 5,888.20/MT in Q1 to USD 6,049.00/MT in Q2, a 2.7% gain, part of a sustained climb that has persisted through every quarter tracked in this report. For H2 2026, a global average of USD 5,400.00-6,600.00/MT is expected, with firm feedstock costs and steady coatings and plastics demand likely to keep this market on a constructive path.
Pigment Green, most commonly encountered as C.I. Pigment Green 7 or Pigment Green 36, is an organic pigment produced by halogenating the same copper-phthalocyanine backbone used in Pigment Blue, substituting chlorine or a combination of chlorine and bromine atoms onto the phthalocyanine ring to shift the color from blue toward green. It serves as the dominant green colorant across paints and coatings, printing inks, and plastics applications, valued for the same exceptional lightfastness and chemical resistance that characterize the broader phthalocyanine pigment family. Because it shares its core phthalocyanine backbone with Pigment Blue, this market's cost structure tracks the same phthalic anhydride and copper feedstock chains closely, alongside the additional halogenation step's own chlorine or bromine input costs. Phthalic anhydride and copper feedstock costs, halogenation input costs, and coatings and plastics demand are what drive prices in this market.
The outlook for Pigment Green through the remainder of 2026 stays constructive, tracking the same phthalic anhydride and copper feedstock cost dynamics supporting the broader phthalocyanine pigment family. Steady demand from paints, coatings, and plastics colouring applications, alongside continued growth in Asian construction and Indian decorative paint markets, should continue supporting firm pricing across every region tracked in this report.
The main upside risk is a further tightening of phthalic anhydride, copper, or halogenation input costs, which could accelerate the pace of gains beyond current expectations. The main downside risk is a meaningful correction in crude oil reducing phthalic anhydride costs, or expanding Chinese production capacity, either of which would moderate the pace of gains across this market.
