The market for bio-based printing inks is expected to expand in the near future as they are environment-friendly and do not contain any hazardous chemicals. Key players operating in the overall printing inks market, such as Sun Chemical, Toyo Ink group, and Huber Group, have been developing inks based on natural raw materials such as soy. Presently, bio-based printing inks made from rice bran oil, sugars, dextrin, and polysaccharides are being tested for printing abilities.

Considering this ongoing trend, the solvent-based inks market is expected to witness a radical change in the next few years. The global solvent-based inks market was valued at US$5.42 bn in 2015 and is projected to reach US$7.92 bn by 2024, at a CAGR of 4.4% therein. In terms of volume, the market is expected to register a CAGR of 2.9% from 2016 to 2024.

Flexographic Printing Rivals Lithographic Printing in Demand

By type of product, the solvent-based inks market comprises vinyl inks, vinyl-acrylic inks, epoxy inks, polyurethanic inks, and cellulose inks. Vinyl inks are considered to be one of the most widely used solvent-based inks across the globe due to their fast-drying properties and their ease in adaptation to various substrates. However, cellulose inks are likely to gain more traction during the forecast period due to their compliance with several environmental regulations and bio-based solvents. This segment is projected to rise at a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period.

In terms of printing processes, lithographic and flexographic printing processes hold a significant share in the market, together accounting for an estimated 65% in 2016. The demand for gravure printing has witnessed only moderate growth in 2015 mainly due to the cannibalization of gravure ink by flexographic and digital printing.
