Market Overview:
The Global Ink Wetting Agents Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The market growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for inkjet printing in packaging and publishing applications, and the growing commercial printing industry. In terms of type, the water-based ink wetting agents segment is expected to grow at a higher CAGR than the solvent-based ink wetting agents segment during the forecast period. This can be attributed to environmental concerns over volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from solvent-based ink wetting agents. In terms of application, packaging is expected to be the fastest-growing application segment during the forecast period, followed by publishing and commercial printing applications respectively.
Product Definition:
Ink wetting agents are used to improve the printing quality of an ink. They help the ink to spread more evenly across the surface of the paper, which results in a cleaner, sharper print. Ink wetting agents are also sometimes referred to as surfactants.
Water-based:
Water-based inks are widely used on account of their environment-friendly nature. These inks are made from a combination of dyes and solvents, which is mostly water. They have low viscosity and can be easily applied with the help of spray, brush or roller.
Solvent-based:
Solvent-based is a type of ink wetting agent that contains more than one solvent. The most common solvents used are water and alcohols. These agents when added to the printing inks become less viscous and able to spread evenly over the paper surface, thereby increasing the smoothness of printings.
Application Insights:
Packaging emerged as the largest application segment in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The product has a wide range of applications in food & beverage, medical, personal care and other packaging industries. It is also used for coating paper for corrugated boxes used to ship electronic components among others.
The commercial printing segment was valued at USD 120 million in 2017 owing to increasing demand from various advertising and marketing agencies across the world. The product helps enhance print quality while reducing ink consumption thus saving cost per unit area of printing or press work.
Regional Analysis:
North America was the largest regional market in 2017 owing to growing demand for high-quality packaging and commercial printing in the region. The U.S., being a developed economy, has witnessed an increase in inkjetting over the years, which is expected to have a positive impact on growth. Furthermore, increasing use of digital printing technology across several industries including publishing and advertising is anticipated to propel product demand further.
Asia Pacific is estimated to be one of the fastest-growing markets at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030 owing to rapid industrialization along with rising spending capacity among consumers due to strong economic growth post global financial crisis (GFC). Rising number of small & medium enterprises (SMEs) coupled with expanding application scope are projected as major factors driving regional market expansion over next few years.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for inkjet printers
- Rising disposable income of consumers in developing countries
- Technological advancements in the inkjet printing technology
- Growing popularity of digital printing among businesses and consumers alike
- Proliferation of online shopping platforms
