Drivers
- Increased Adoption in the Packaging Industry
Packaging and labels are the most important application segments of the global printing inks market, accounting for more than 47.72% of the global printing inks market share in terms of volume in 2020.
However, due to rapid urbanization and consumers' increasing digitalized needs, the application scope of printing inks has shifted from commercial printing and publication to the packaging industry. Printing inks are used in the packaging industry to print on packaging materials to make the packaging appealing to customers, as it is one of the most effective ways to promote and market products.
Flexible packaging provides more customization options. The food and beverage industry is driving demand for flexible packaging, which is bolstered by strong growth in the snacks and confectionery category. Furthermore, rising food demand as a result of the world's growing population is one of the key trends fueling the growth of the flexible packaging industry.
- Rise in End-Use Industry Demand for Energy-Curing Inks
The thriving demand for energy-curing inks in printing & packaging applications is another major factor driving the growth of the printing inks market. Because of their superior properties, zero/low volatile organic content (VOC), and expanding application scope, these inks are trending globally.
The initial setup costs for these inks, however, are higher. As a result, businesses are implementing new technologies to reduce costs. For example, Flint Group has created new UV inks, such as the Ultraking XCURA label, to achieve minimal energy consumption during the curing process.
Restraints
- Strict Regulations for Toxic Solvents
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) must adhere to a variety of statutory regulations and legislation. These organic compounds, which are widely used in technical printing inks, are subject to a number of governmental and federal regulations aimed at reducing VOC emissions and limiting human exposure to toxic substances.
However, rising awareness of the presence of e-books, as well as stringent government environmental regulations on ink production, are restraining the printing inks market's growth. Furthermore, the emission of volatile organic compounds and toxic metals present in some printing inks is impeding market growth.
Opportunities
Technological advancement, combined with rising demand from the printing industry, is expected to increase demand for printing inks in the commercial printing/publishing segment globally. Furthermore, the printing industry's need for short-run production for printed resources such as direct mail, books, catalogs, and brochures is thriving commercially.
Demand for printing inks is expected to rise due to increased demand for promotional materials from the food, beverage, and retail industries. Because the commercial printing/publishing application segment is determined by a variety of promotional events, including print advertising, the retail business is included as print advertising and is a component of the marketing strategy.
Challenges
- Regulatory Issue Still Remains the Major Challenge
The constantly changing regulatory landscape for ink usage and product coding and marking has presented significant challenges to ink manufacturers worldwide. Food-contact inks are the most strictly regulated. Toluene, phthalates, and other substances have been restricted by regulatory authorities. Europe and North America have established stringent standards for the use and type of inks used in the packaging industry.
The prices of raw materials have been erratic and fluctuating in recent years. Manufacturers have faced shortages of key intermediates, pigments, and other feedstock’s, causing prices to skyrocket.
