Introduction
The global ink solvents Market is projected worth US$ 658.3 Million by 2026 and the market is projected to showcase 4.9% CAGR during the forecast period. The ink solvents market is driven by inexpensive nature and non-coating properties that are important factors which are promoting the market positively.
Market Dynamics
Low VOC emission of inks and an increase in demand for ink solvents in several industries are the key factors driving the bio-based ink solvents market. The packaging industry is constantly growing; thus, the printing has expanded its strong foothold in the global inks industry. Also, the advent of solvent-based inks in advertising and textiles applications has increased the demand for ink solvents. Excellent printing quality, image stability, and adaptability in the printing on any substrate are driving the demand in the printing inks industry, thus expanding the growth of ink solvents market. Moreover, the development in technologies and launch of bio-based solvents have led to the replacement of traditional solvents. The rise in demand for bio-based inks is projected to fuel the ink solvents market during the forecast period.
Market Insights
The demand for petroleum-based solvents has been declining due to the rise in the number of strict government regulations over increased VOC emissions from printing inks, paints and coatings, and industrial cleaning products; an increase in environmental awareness. Less destructive and environment-friendly ink solvents are substituting the petroleum-based solvents. These factors are projected to drive the bio-based ink solvents during the forecast period.
