Provided is a transfer material, including: a coloring material-receiving layer; and a base material sheet. The transfer material has a laminated structure in which the base material sheet and the coloring material-receiving layer are sequentially laminated, the coloring material-receiving layer contains at least inorganic fine particles, a water-soluble resin, and a cationic resin having a weight-average molecular weight of 15,000 or less, and a difference SP2 between a SP value of an image support onto which the transfer material is transferred and a SP value of the coloring material-receiving layer to be brought into abutment with the image support satisfies a relationship of 0≤SP2≤1.0.
