Moreover, increased consumer spending on electronic goods, such as tablets, fitness trackers, smartphones, audio & sound equipment, and others is growing the demand for printing inks for packaging purposes. In 2022, consumers worldwide are expected to spend nearly USD 500 billion on electronics.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the printing ink market on the back of the closing of various manufacturing plants. This adversely affected the consumption of printing inks.
However, the availability of substitutes for printing ink, and stringent environmental regulations regarding the production of inks are the key factors restraining the growth of the market.
The market is segmented by printing process into lithographic printing, flexographic printing, digital printing, gravure printing, and others. Among these segments, the digital printing segment is anticipated to hold the major share over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to the increasing applications of digital printing, label production, and electrophotography. Further, recent developments in digital printing, such as digital carton cutting, creasing, and other completion technologies are expected to boost the segment growth.
