The Global Paper Pigments Market has been segmented by Type, Application, and Region.

By Type, the Global Paper Pigments Market has been segmented into calcium carbonate, kaolin, and others. The calcium carbonate segment is further classified ground calcium carbonate (GCC) and precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC). Calcium carbonate is leading the market due to its low cost and the increasing demand for bright and bulk paper as it offers higher brightness than the use of kaolin. 

Based on Application, the market has been segmented into coated and uncoated paper. The coated paper is further classified on the basis of coating type into satin-coated paper, gloss-coated paper, dull-coated paper, matte-coated paper, and cast-coated paper. The uncoated paper is categorized based on the surface type into woven or smooth uncoated paper, laid uncoated paper, and linen uncoated paper.  The coated paper segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 as it is less porous and offers surface gloss, smoothness, and reduced ink absorbency.
