UV Curable Ink Market By Product Type (Free radical, Cationic), By End Use (Automobile, Consumer goods, Medical, Publications and printing, Others): Global Opportunity Analysis and Industry Forecast, 2021-2031
The global UV curable ink market was valued at $1.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $4.5 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 14.68% from 2022 to 2031.
UV curable inks are processed through a photochemical process in presence of ultraviolet light, which leads to the drying of the ink. These inks have witnessed prevalent acceptance over traditional inks, owing to several advantages, such as surge in superior bonding, rise in superior solvent resistance properties, reduction in rejection rates, and increase in production output. UV inks have witnessed an increase in their adoption, due to increase in awareness and surge in concentration on improving the safety of packaged foods and change in environmental regulations. The UV curable inks have been extensively used in the packaging industry, majorly in Asia-Pacific.
Unique characteristics of UV curable inks and rise in awareness among printers are projected to amplify the demand for UV curable inks across the globe. The growth in adoption of these inks because of their high-performance efficiency, especially in the 3D printing sector and low environmental impact is projected to drive the growth of the global market. Asia-Pacific market is rising substantially as the adoption rate of UV inks in the region is high. The growth in demand for UV curable ink from developing countries, such as India and China is expected to boost the UV curable ink market growth during the forecast period.
