How Are Technological Advancements Fueling Digital Inks Demand?

Digital inks are used to print digital images on a wide range of print media, as they reduce the time taken for on-demand printing, thereby resulting in cost reduction. Unlike traditional printing methods, such as lithography, gravure, and flexography, the digital printing does not require the replacement of printing plates. The surging use of these inks can be attributed to the increasing shift toward eco-friendly inks and advancements in printing technology. Technological developments in the printing sector, such as development of piezo technology-based inkjet printheads, will boost the adoption of digital inks in the coming years.





Moreover, the surging investments in research and development (R&D) of printing technology will help the digital inks market advance at 5.4% CAGR during 2017–2023. According to P&S Intelligence, the market revenue reached $1,147.4 million in 2016. In recent years, digital ink manufacturers, such as Nitro Quimica and Siegwerk Budingen, have heavily invested in R&D to improve their products and services in the printing sector. Furthermore, Siegwerk Budingen has made extensive investments in the establishment of regional centers of excellence, dedicated to the manufacturing and automation domains.



Additionally, the burgeoning demand for packaged consumer goods in North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa (MEA), and Asia-Pacific (APAC) will also fuel the consumption of digital inks in the foreseeable future. The escalating demand for packaged consumer goods in such regions can be attributed to the rising gross domestic product (GDP), mounting disposable income of people, booming population of youth, and changing lifestyle of customers. Digital inks are being used by the packaging industry in tags and labels, metal cans, and flexible materials of the packaged consumer goods.



Moreover, the increasing demand for ultraviolet (UV)-cured inks, owing to their high-curing speed, enhanced durability, and optimum print quality, will augment the usage of digital inks globally. The UV-cured digital inks with minimum flexible ink films offer excellent resistance to scratches and wear and tear and emit low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These inks can be used on different kinds of absorbents and surfaces, owing to which they are being increasingly used in the printing and publication and food and pharmaceutical packaging sectors.
