Latex Ink Market Poised to Grow Substantially due to Widening Application in Textile Printing
The global latex ink market is a highly fragmented space that is used majorly in the flexography printing application. Latex inks are water-based viscous fluids that combine pigments and polymers to create solvent-free colors for printing applications. They work on the principle of film formation by allowing ink droplets to adhere onto surfaces owing to their composition of natural rubber or synthetic polymers like styrene-butadiene rubber. The need for eco-friendly, non-toxic printing options is driving the adoption of latex inks in various end-use industries like packaging, paper, publishing, and textiles. The Global latex ink market is estimated to be valued at US$ 23.89 Bn in 2024 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 3.1% over the forecast period 2023 to 2030. Growing environmental regulations regarding solvent usage and the push for sustainability are compelling printers to shift from solvent-based to water-based ink technologies like latex. Moreover, the packaging industry'...
