Market Overview: Ink resins are used majorly to manufacture printing inks. Key properties that an ink resins possess are stability, good surface appearance, gloss, flow, solvency, and dilatability. Resins are one the four critical components for manufacturing inks apart from solvent, additive and pigments. The composition of a resin greatly affects the overall characteristics of the ink. The resin serves several important functions such as dispersion of the pigment and prevention of its re-agglomeration. It acts as a pigment binder to provide quick and lasting adhesion to a substrate. Additionally, the resin also provides viscosity or a required flow to the ink which is basically required for transfer of ink from press to substrate. Moreover, the resin contributes to the gloss, drying speed and resistance properties of an ink. The resin ink finds its applications in flexible packaging, paperboard and cartons, and printing & publication, among others. Owing to these factors, the ink resins is expected to gain significant traction during the review period. The ink resins market is majorly driven owing to some of the major market factors and trends in the market. Growing demand of the ink resin from major end users such as printing press, commercial and industrial prints, and others is the primary factor driving growth of the market. The global printing ink market for packaging is estimated to grow at CAGR of over 6.5% due to rising global demand for label packaging providing nutritive and product information. The growth in on-the-go food during the past years is a key factor which is expected to positively impact the growth of the global market. Additionally, the color, design and appearance of the ink is a critical factor when it comes to attracting the customers. This is anticipated to give boost to the global ink resin market in the coming years. Moreover, with increasing per capita disposable incomes and standard of living of the people, particularly in the developing countries coupled with the consumers sentiment to shifting toward the use of packaged food, beverages, and other retail products, is expected to fuel the market demand during the years to follow. Furthermore, continuous R&D to develop new products, advancements in the field of 3D printing, and arrival of new technologies such as inkjet, offset and others is expected boost growth of the market further during the forecast period. However, the fluctuations in the crude oil prices, cost intensive nature of new technologies and shift from traditional to digital market are the major bottlenecks operating in the market, which may hamper growth of the market during the review period.
