Global Printing Inks Market 2016-2020 - Increased Demand for Eco-friendly Inks - Key Vendors are Flint Group, Sakata INX & Sun Chemical - Research and Markets

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global Printing Inks Market 2016-2020" report to their offering.

The global printing inks market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.42% during the period 2016-2020.

Printing inks are produced using four essential components:

• Pigments: Impart color to the ink and makes it opaque
• Resins: Bind the ink into a film and to the printed surface
• Solvents: Aids the ink flow so that it can be transferred to the printing surface
• Additives: Alter the physical properties of the ink to suit different applications

Concerns regarding the quantity of heavy metals found in printing inks are growing. Therefore, the adoption of printing inks made of vegetable oil-based solvents is growing. The growth is attributable to the fact that these oils eliminate the use of mineral oils in inks and reduce VOC emissions.

According to the report, rising environmental concerns are influencing regulatory authorities to update standards for the printing industry, which ranks fifth in the emission of VOC globally. The demand for vegetable oil-based and biodegradable inks is growing. Vegetable oil-based and biodegradable inks reduce or eliminate the use of mineral oils in inks, conserve non-renewable reserves, and minimize the emission of VOC. The primary advantage of eco-friendly inks is the improved recyclability of paper as it enables efficient separation of ink from paper.

Further, the report states that the growing consumer awareness regarding the adverse health and environmental impact of solvent-borne systems that emit high levels of VOC has led to the adoption of low VOC emitters such as waterborne and oil-based printing inks.
