Ink Additives Market - Forecast (2022 - 2027)
Ink Additives Market is forecast to reach US$1.6 billion by 2026, after growing at a CAGR of 4.8% during 2021-2026 due to increasing consumption for graphical printing on packaging. Printing inks are used for printing or coloring paper, plastics, textiles, and others. Ink additives such as defoamer, rheology modifiers , anti-oxidizer, wetting agents, dispersants, and others enhance the ink performance and provide an excellent printing output. Additives are used to improve the color strength and transparency of printing ink. The color depends on the intensity and saturation of dark/light ink. It also helps to improve the abrasion resistance of printing inks, wetting behavior, and overprint varnishes. Printing inks are applied to the surface in the form of a thick layer (thickness of 2 to 30 μm), unlike varnish. Hence, inks additives such as rheology modifiers maintain the product’s temperature, control pigment settings, and improve leveling which is increasing the demand for ink additi...
