Market Overview:
Resins are one the major components of inks such as solvent,
additive and pigments. Ink Resins are majorly used to manufacture printing
inks. The Resin offers some important features to the ink including dispersion
of the pigments and prevention of its re-agglomeration. The resin acts as a
pigment binder which provide quick and long-lasting adhesion to the particular
substrate. In addition to this, the resin also provides the required viscosity
or flow to the ink which facilitates easy transfer of ink from press to
substrate. Moreover, the resin adds to the luster, drying speed and resistance
properties of an ink. The Global Printing Ink Market for packaging has been
estimated to register a CAGR of 6% owing to the rising global demand for label
packaging, which provides nutritive and product information. The color, design
and appearance of the ink print acts a decisive factor when it comes to allure
the customers. This is projected boost demand for the Ink Resin in the coming
years. Moreover, increasing demand for flexible packaging, folding cartons,
corrugated cardboard, promotion, and other applications will be the key
influencing factors for the Global Ink Resins Market. However, there are some
factors that hamper growth of the market such as the fluctuations in the crude
oil prices, cost intensive nature of new technologies and shift from
traditional to digital market.
