Market Overview:
The global flexible printing inks market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for flexible packaging from food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries. In addition, the growing demand for digital printing inks is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, water-based flexible printing inks are expected to dominate the global market during the forecast period owing to their environmental friendly nature and low toxicity levels as compared with solvent-based flexible printing inks.
Product Definition:
Flexible printing inks are designed to resist cracking and peeling when the printed material is bent or curved. They are used for applications such as labels, packaging, and signage that will be subjected to flexing or twisting. Flexible printing inks provide a high degree of durability and resistance to abrasion.
Water Based:
Water-based inks are widely used in flexible printing inks market on account of their environment-friendly nature. These products do not comprise solvents and are produced from water, cellulose ethers, vegetable oils & fatty alcohols along with a small amount of organic acids & amines. They dry faster than oil based products owing to less evaporation rate and higher solid content which makes them preferable for use in flexographic printing plates as well as films.
Solvent Based:
Solvent-based printing inks are water-based and solvent-free. They are made from pigments, binders, solvents and additives. The ink composition must contain a sufficient quantity of binder to hold the ink particles together so that they do not slip through the paper during printing.
The major components of solvent based inks include resins (top coat), pigment (base coat).
Application Insights:
The food and beverage application segment led the market in 2017. Flexible printing inks are used for labeling, promotional offers, brand protection and other applications such as ingredient lists on food products. The segment is expected to register a significant CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to increasing demand for packaged foods coupled with growing consumer awareness regarding health benefits associated with specific foods.
Flexible printing ink is also widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for labeling drugs, tablets & capsules, medical devices & equipment labels among others. Growing usage of these labels not only improves branding but also helps consumers identify accurate information about medicines/devices through color coding or highlighting which aids proper dosage and administration procedures respectively.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific was the largest regional market in 2017 and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounts for nearly half of global population, which has a strong impact on demand as well as consumption levels of various products. China and India are among the fastest-growing markets in this region owing to increasing disposable income coupled with rising living standards.
The growth of e-commerce industry in these countries has led manufacturers to use flexible printing technologies for labeling or packaging their products, thereby boosting product visibility at retail level and aiding easy identification by consumers. Furthermore, growing health awareness among people is expected to open new avenues over the next eight years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for printed products from the packaging and labeling industry
- Rising demand for inks with superior performance characteristics
- Proliferation of digital printing technologies
- Growing popularity of flexographic printing technology
- Rising demand from emerging markets
