FAQs

Global Printing Inks Market size was valued at USD 26.55 Billion in 2024 and is poised to grow from USD 27.98 Billion in 2025 to USD 42.62 Billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 5.4% during the forecast period (2026–2033).

Only a few multinational players compete on service, compliance, and breadth in the resin/pigment supply chain. The main printing inks market strategies appear to be water-based and low migration platforms; bio-based pigments, and energy efficient UV/EB curing. To close converters, players are using color management with de-inking certification with ink + press profiling. M&A activity is strictly limited to niche functional inks and local experts. Press ready sets are co-developed with partnerships with OEMs and brand owners, with multi-year supply agreements anchored by technical service SLAs and VOC reduction guarantees. 'Sun Chemical (DIC)', 'DIC Corporation', 'Flint Group', 'Siegwerk Druckfarben', 'Toyo Ink SC Holdings', 'Sakata INX', 'Huber Group', 'T&K Toka', 'Fujifilm Ink Solutions Group', 'Marabu', 'Zeller+Gmelin', 'Wikoff Color', 'Nazdar Ink Technologies'

High packaging print volumes are maintained through the diversification of FMCG, convenience foods, and e-commerce. For cartons, corrugated, and flexible formats, brands require vibrant colors, low migration chemistry, and exceptional rub/scuff resistance. SKU proliferation, shelf impact, and QR-enabled labels increase the short-run frequency, which in turn increases the amount of ink used for each product refresh. To satisfy the continuous demand for solvent-based, UV/EB-curable, and increasingly water-based ink sets, converters are upgrading to high-speed presses and expanded-gamut workflows.

Digital Acceleration for Labels and Flexible Packaging: SKU fragmentation, quick artwork changes, and brand-specific customization are the key growth drivers for inkjet/EP. Enhanced adhesion promoters, primers and low-migration digital inks are allowing food labels, pouches, and shrink sleeves to be economically feasible for the short- term. Press OEMs leverage expanded-gamut profiles, inline finishing and cloud-based color management is greatly improving consistency across a fleet of digital presses. Digital is progressing rapidly and introducing more flexo/gravure, with converters adopting both processes in the same project in a bid to retain cost, speed, and versioning.

How are E-Commerce and Flexible Packaging Driving Ink Demand in Asia-Pacific?
