A pigment dispersoid and a method for manufacturing the pigment dispersoid are provided. The method for manufacturing the pigment dispersoid includes the following steps. A pigment powder, a dispersant, and a plasticizer are mixed to form a dispersing solution. The dispersing solution is homogenized to form a pigment slurry. A carrier polymer powder is added into the pigment slurry to form a liquid mixture. The liquid mixture is stirred at a temperature ranging from 80° C. to 100° C. to form the pigment dispersoid. The plasticizer prompts the plasticization of the carrier polymer powder such that the pigment slurry is adsorbed by the carrier polymer powder during the plasticization to form the pigment dispersoid.
