Market Overview:
The global ink additives market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2018 to 2030. The market is segmented by type, technology, application and region. By type, dispersants, foam control products, slip and rub materials and wetting agents are the five leading additives which accounted for more than 90% market share in 2018. By technology, water-based ink additives held the largest share in the global market in 2018 owing to its environmental friendly nature as compared to solvent-based ink additives. However, solvent-based ink additive is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period due to its properties such as high gloss finish and better color vibrancy over water-based counterparts. Packaging was the largest application segment for ink additives in 2018 with a market share of about 47%.
Product Definition:
Ink additives are chemicals that are used to improve the performance of inks. They can improve the color, opacity, and gloss of inks, and they can also make them more durable and water-resistant.
By Type:
Ink additives are the components that are added to inks during their manufacturing process. They help in improving characteristics such as flow, color, viscosity, and surface activity of the ink. The most commonly used additive is titanium dioxide which helps in increasing ink’s whiteness and opacity.
Dispersants:
Dispersants are used in ink additives to lower the viscosity of ink and make it more fluid. They may be natural or synthetic in nature. Dispersants can also thicken the ink without altering its properties. Some of the most commonly used dispersants are glycerol, polysorbate 80, sorbitan esters, and lecithin among others.
Application Insights:
Packaging is expected to be the fastest-growing application segment, with a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to the development of packaging technologies such as 3D printing and flexible packaging which offer enhanced product appearance and improved functionality. Furthermore, growing emphasis on food safety owing to rising incidences of food poisoning is anticipated to drive demand for ink additives in packaging applications over the forecast period.
The commercial printing sector has witnessed significant growth over recent years owing to increasing adoption of digital printing technologies across various applications including brochures, business cards, posters and magazines among others. In addition, technological advancements such as ink-jet printheads with multiple nozzles are expected further fuel market growth over the coming years through innovative products that offer higher efficiency at lower costs per page in comparison with older generation printheads technology used previously by printers manufacturers.
Regional Analysis:
The Asia Pacific region is expected to be the fastest-growing market, with a CAGR of XX% over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing number of packaging and commercial printing industries in this region. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with growing population has resulted in increased demand for packaged food and beverages which will drive ink additives demand further.
Ink additives are widely used across several end-use industries such as packaging & delivery (parcels), publishing (printing press), advertising & marketing (billboards).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for ink additives from the packaging and printing industries to improve the quality of inks.
- Rising demand for environmentally friendly and biodegradable ink additives.
- Growing popularity of digital printing, which requires high-quality inks with better performance properties.
- Increasing use of ink additives in specialty applications such as 3D printing and security printing.
