Significant Growth Foreseen by Low Migration Inks Market During 2025
Low
migration inks are used in packaging, wherein undesirable migration
of chemicals from inks to materials is considered harmful. Passage of
inks from the printed side to the unprinted side of the package can
occur due to physical or gaseous migration. Physical migration is
defined as penetration of the ink through a substrate from the
printed layer to the unprinted side of the package. Substrates
include paper, plastic, and metal. Gaseous migration includes
evaporation of volatile materials in the ink by heating, especially
in case of food products, in their original packaging. Low migration
inks should not have chemicals that affect appearance, taste, odor,
or safety of the product present inside the packaging.

Report Overview @
Low
migration inks are used in various applications such as food &
beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The food & beverages
application segment accounts for major share of the global low
migration inks market. Rise in awareness about issues surrounding
migration of inks in packaged food, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical
product is driving the demand for these inks. Low migration ink is a
part of the graphics and packaging ink market. SVHC (Substance of
Very High Concern), CMR (Carcinogen, Mutagen or Reproductive Toxin),
heavy metals, and toxic or very toxic substances should not be
present in low migration inks. Different processes are used to apply
low migration inks such as flexography and gravure process.
Regulations
on printing inks have been in place in order to protect consumers
from possible health risks involving contamination due to printed
food materials and other substances. Authorities in developed regions
such as Europe and North America have implemented regulations to
monitor food packaging. In these regions, printing inks on the
packages of food and beverages is one of the critical terms. Food
safety standards are followed across the globe. Europe follows EuPIA
Guideline on Printing Inks to the non-food contact surface of food
packaging materials and articles. Regulations not only control the
inks used for printing, but also the substrate suitable for printing
process. Low migration inks are expensive; hence, the high cost is a
constraint in the global market. However, printers for food &
beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry in North America and
Europe use low migration inks owing to the stringent regulations in
these regions. However, conventional inks are preferred by local
players in other regions of world.
Europe
dominates the global low migration inks market in terms of revenue.
Demand for these inks in Europe is expected to rise at a fast-paced
CAGR during the forecast period. Printers in Europe not only have to
adhere to European Union laws of printing on food materials, but also
specific regional laws laid by countries such as Switzerland.
Switzerland has a law named Ordinance of the FDHA on Materials and
Articles which notes that all raw materials for inks in food
packaging have to be listed and comply with specific migration limits
(SMLs). Increase in end-use industry applications such as food &
beverages, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals coupled with implementation
of strict regulations is driving the demand for low migration inks in
Europe.
