Flexo Printing Inks Market Shows Steady Growth The global market for flexographic printing inks is likely to expand at a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 5.80 percent during the period from 2017 to 2025, according to a new report from Transparency Market Research. The opportunity in this market is likely to rise from $6.56 billion in 2016 to $10.91 bil- lion by the end of the period of the forecast. In terms of volume, the market is anticipated to cross 2,434.1 kilo tons by 2025.The demand for flexographic print- ing inks is higher in packaging than other applica- tions and the trend is likely to remain so over the next few years, noted the study. Surging Demand Currently, the demand for water-based inks has been higher than other flexographic printing inks. However, the demand of UV-cured inks is likely to in- crease substantially during the forecast period. Asia Pacific led the overall market with a share of more than 37 percent in 2016 and is projected to re- tain its position over the period of the forecast, thanks to the significant rise in its consumer goods and the packaged food and beverages industries. In the near future, the Asia Pacific market for flexo- graphic printing inks is also expected to gain from the rising investments in the packaging industry, specifically in India, China, and the ASEAN nations. With a number of prominent international players making efforts to enter into this regional market via strategic alliances with local participants, the Asia Pa- cific market for flexographic printing inks is antici- pated to witness exceptional growth over the next few years, reported the research study. Continued Growth “The exceptional growth in the global packaging industry is the main factor behind the rise on the flexographic printing inks market across the world,” said the author of this report.The recent shift of con- sumers towards packaged and duly labeled food and beverages and other products has prompted compa- nies involved in the business of food and beverage products and consumer goods to uptake flexograph- ic printing inks for the labeling of their products. This, as a result, is reflecting greatly on the growth of this market. Over the coming years, the worldwide flexographic printing inks market is expected to gain substantially from the rise in the consumer spending and the aug- menting demand for UV-cured printing inks.
