Growth
of Packaging Industry to Drive Market
Packaging
adds a unique value to any product and distinguishes it from other
similar products. Flexible packaging comprises bags, pouches, and
films that can be wrapped around a product. These are used in food
items, beverages, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care
products. Packaging is a major end-user of UV-cured screen printing
inks. Demand for UV-cured screen printing inks in the packaging
industry has been increasing over the last few years. These inks
witness high demand in flexographic, sheet-fed, and screen printing.
The global packaging industry is estimated to be valued at around US$
1,000 Bn by 2020. This would significantly augment the global demand
for water-borne screen printing inks in the next few years. These
trends are projected to fuel the global screen printing inks market
in the near future.
Increasing
Preference for Online Reading and Growth of E-commerce Industry
E-commerce
involves trading in products and services by using intricate computer
networks. Penetration of Internet across the globe has substantially
reduced paper-based communication through increase in virtual
transactions. Among prominent, growing areas of e-commerce are
e-books, event tickets, sporting goods, toys, hotel reservations, and
airline reservations. Rising trend of e-books is anticipated to
promote growth of the printing inks industry. This, in turn, impacts
the demand for solvent-based inks. Additionally, significant
circulation of e-newspapers and e-magazines in developing economies
of Asia Pacific is anticipated to boost the publication sector in the
region in the near future. This, eventually, is expected to restrain
the demand for solvent-based inks in the next few years. Factors
driving the demand for e-books include mass access, cost benefits
over printed books, and availability of low-cost reading devices.
This factor is restraining the demand for printed books and, in turn,
the demand for water-borne screen printing inks.

High
VOC Emissions Associated with Solvent-based Inks
Printing
inks are primarily used with solvents as base materials.
Solvent-based inks are widely used in wide-format coding and
formatting applications. Solvent-based inks consist of inorganic
solvents and toxic metals such as cadmium, hexavalent chromium, lead,
and mercury. Thus, use of these inks can lead to various health
hazards if these substances come in direct contact with edibles. The
number of safety regulations has been increased in order to avoid
adverse health consequences resulting from intake of toxic
substances. This is likely to hamper the global screen printing inks
market in the next few years. Packaging materials used in food and
consumer packaging applications are in direct contact with
end-customers. Hence, stringent environmental regulations are
associated with screen printing inks used in packaging. Environmental
regulations imposed on printing inks pose a restraint to the demand
for solvent-based screen printing inks.
Label
& Packaging Segment to Dominate Global Screen Printing Inks
Market
Labels
on various packaged products primarily utilize solvent-based inks.
They offer information and usage instructions for the product,
especially in food packaging. Labels are required to last for long
duration. Thus, they need to be printed with the help of thick
printing materials that use solvents. Packaging is a key segment of
the screen printing inks market. Rise in the demand for flexible
packaging in the food & beverages sector is expected to boost the
demand for water-borne screen printing inks in the next few years.
The packaging application segment comprises printing on several
products such as flexible packages, corrugated containers, tags and
labels, folding cartons, and metal cans.
Asia
Pacific Dominates Global Screen Printing Inks Market
Based
on region, the global screen printing inks market has been segmented
into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa,
and Latin America. Asia Pacific led the global market in 2017.
According to leading manufacturers of screen printing inks based in
Asia Pacific, the demand for screen printing inks in the region has
been increasing, especially in packaging and automotive sectors.
Furthermore, the market in India, Mexico, and Brazil is expanding at
a substantial pace due to the rising demand for screen printing inks
for use in automotive component printing. Asia Pacific is expected to
remain an attractive market for screen printing inks during the
forecast period. International players have increased their focus on
Asia Pacific, owing to large-scale production of automobiles and
growth of the packaging industry in countries such as India, Vietnam,
and Singapore.
