Ink Additives Market by Type ( Dispersing & Wetting Agents, Foam Control Additives, Slip/Rub Materials, Rheology Modifiers), Process, Technology, Application (Packaging, Publishing, Printing), and Region - Global Forecast to 2023
[149 Pages Report] The ink additives market size is estimated at USD 1.5 billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 2.0 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 5.2%. This growth is attributed to the increasing applications, technological advancements, and increasing demand from Asia Pacific, mainly from India, China, and Southeast Asian countries. In addition, the growing e-commerce business in APAC is expected to increase the demand for corrugated boxes and boards, thereby driving the ink additives market.
The dispersing & wetting agents segment dominate the ink additives market and is projected to be the fastest-growing type.
In terms of type, dispersing & wetting agents accounted for the largest share of the market, globally. Both these categories of additives provide several advantages. Dispersants help to stabilize the suspension of pigments in varnish. They assist in the dispersion of fine solid particles in the liquid phase. Whereas, wetting agents reduce the surface tension and improve pigment dispersion. High surface tension makes it difficult to wet the surface of substrates properly. Proper wetting of substrate is necessary for achieving excellent print quality, as when the surface is properly wet, the liquid spreads over the substrates evenly without forming droplets.
The solvent-based technology dominates the ink additives market.
Solvent-based technology is used globally owing to its low cost. Solvents used during the process evaporates very easily owing to its high volatility and hence imposes minor problem with regard to migration of the ink on the substrate. Major manufacturing companies are focusing on all solvent-based products for gravure and flexographic processes. Water-based technology is preferred over solvent-based in developed countries such as the US and Germany, where there are stricter regulatory norms to follow. Solvent-based ink additives are still very common in economies such as China, India, Brazil, and Southeast Asia countries. The absence of stricter regulations benefits this technology in these regions.
The lithographic process is the most commonly used process in the ink additives market.
The lithographic process segment dominated the overall market in 2017. These are also called offset inks. In this printing process, the image is printed on a flat metal surface then rolled on rubbers and finally on the substrate. This printing technology is recognized by its smooth print as well as lack of any improper impressions or rings that can be found in gravure and letterpress printing. Lithography is used for printing books, advertising, catalogs, cards, posters, direct mail inserts, packaging, coupons, and art. This technology is mostly used in non-food applications. Growing demand for paper boards and corrugated boxes for online purchase is expected to benefit the market.
Packaging is the largest application of ink additives.
The packaging application segment dominated the overall market in 2017. Packaging sales are expected to show growth in the emerging markets as both increased consumption and demand for consumer goods drives the need for more sophisticated packaging with the growing disposable income. Flexible packaging is gaining popularity owing to its convenience and easy handling techniques among the consumers. Flexible packaging is used across the food & beverages industry and for cigarette packaging. Growing online purchase is also expected to positively impact the demand for corrugated boxes and boards and further impact the demand for ink additives
Asia Pacific is projected to be the largest market, in terms of value, during the forecast period.
Asia Pacific accounted for the largest share of the global ink additives market in 2017. The growing demand for flexographic printing inks in the packaging industry for corrugated containers, flexible packaging, folding cartons, labels & tags, and metal cans is driving the ink additives market in Asia Pacific.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Increased demand from the flexible packing segment
Unique benefits of flexible packaging such as clear barrier films, high graphic capability, lightweight, and easy sealability make it a very popular packaging option among end-use industries such as food & beverages, retail, consumer products, pharmaceuticals, and others. Re-usability of the containers or pouches made from flexible packaging is expected to achieve sustainability and create less waste.
Ink used in flexible packaging enhances the graphical presentation of the package. It also contributes to the performance of the package by maintaining the quality of the images during various stages of manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and usage of the product. Ink additives such as dispersing agents help in formulating inks to get the desired combination of colors. The additives are also helpful in producing high-quality aqueous pigment dispersions, with superior pigment wetting characteristics and exceptional viscosity stability.
Increased consumer convenience coupled with growing usage of flexible packaging in pouches is expected to benefit the growth of the printing inks market. This, in turn, is expected to have a positive impact on the demand for ink additives. The shift in trend among manufacturers from conventional materials to pouches to save up on the material usage and cost is also anticipated to drive the demand.
Restraint: Meeting regulatory standard
Changing environmental regulations are impacting the additives market. Stringent regulations have a strong influence on the end-use industries. The European and North American manufacturers are making efforts to reduce VOC emissions by using materials that have a low environmental footprint, thus impacting the growth of the ink additives market negatively.
The shift toward sustainable and low-cost additive has negatively affected the demand for conventional additives. On the other hand, in emerging countries such as India and China, environmental regulations are not stringent. The printing inks manufacturers focus on producing inks with conventional additives. However, this is expected to change over the next few years with the emergence of stringent regulations in these regions.
Technical know-how of components used in additives is a challenge. An additive, when used in inks, must be used to a level which is prescribed as safe by industry standards such as Toxics in Packaging (C.O.N.E.G.) Legislation and Toy Standards -- ASTM F963, and EN71. With more regulations to meet, the manufacturers focus on materials used in their ink formulations.
Some of the regulatory guidelines restraining the use of additives in printing inks are:
- Food and Drug Administration (U.S.)
- Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)
- Nestle compliance with the principles of “Good Manufacturing Practices”
- Clean Air Act (CAA) (U.S.)
- The Swiss Ordinance
- German Draft Ordinance
- German BFR regulations
Opportunity: Strong growth in the inkjet segment
Inks used in the inkjet technology promises substantial growth opportunity for the ink additives market. The inkjet technology is increasingly used in various applications, such as printing photos, outdoor signs and posters, and manufacturing of color filters for LCD TVs as well as circuit boards. The demand for inkjet process is increasing as it is the only print technology that can print messages just-in-time with a high degree of relevancy when printing in mass volumes, which the marketers require. The advancements taking place in the inkjet segment and reducing per print unit cost of printing are leading many end-use industries to adapt this process.
Inkjet printing inks manufacturers are determined to create products specially designed for customers across the globe. One example of this is in emerging economies, such as Southeast Asia and Latin America, where inkjet printer demand is growing rapidly owing to rise in number of customized orders.
Challenge: Volatile raw material prices
Low cost is a major driver for any industry production. Cost is a major challenge for the printing inks market. The recent fluctuations in the crude oil prices had a direct negative impact on various crude oil-based raw materials prices. All the major feedstock such as propylene, ethylene, and benzene as well as their derivatives such as acrylic and styrene witnessed high volatility in prices.
Most of the additives used in the ink industry are manufactured from crude oil. The lower price of crude oil than any biodegradable source such as sunflower oil, canola oil, or castor oil makes it more attractive for the manufacturers. Additives, where surfactants are used such as wetting agents and dispersants, are mostly derived from crude oil. However, instability of crude oil prices and tightening of supplies owing to geopolitical issues may have a negative impact on the overall ink additives market.
Recent currency exchange had a negative impact on the revenue generation of ink additives manufacturers. The purchasing power of Euro reduced significantly compared to the USD, the global currency for trade. This had a direct impact on the raw material costs.
