UV curable ink is more sustainable than traditional solvent-based inks as it emits fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air during the printing process. This can help reduce the environmental impact of printing and make it safer for workers in printing facilities. Overall, by using sustainable UV-curable ink, the printing and packaging industries can reduce their environmental impact and move towards a more sustainable future. This factor will boost the market growth during the forecast period.

UV Curable Ink Market

UV curing ink is specially formulated ink that stays liquid until it is exposed to strong ultraviolet light for curing. The UV light cross-links with the constituents in the ink and gets converted into a strong polymer. This reaction is very instant. UV curable ink does not depend on absorption into substrates for drying as it does not contain solvents.

Increase in demand for UV curable ink in several printing applications, owing to superior characteristics, such as low volatile organic compound content, reduced drying time, and high bonding qualities are anticipated to propel the market growth. Technological advancements in the field have decreased the risk of fading, bubble formations, and de-lamination which are expected to drive the growth of the market. The UV curable ink possesses low viscosity, therefore, decreases wastage by lower penetration into the printing materials. In addition, due to low viscosity, these may also be utilized for application on rigid surfaces, hence increasing the demand for UV curing ink.

The UV curable ink market is likely to witness noteworthy growth, owing  to its bio-compatible properties. Low pollutant emission, low energy usage essential for product manufacturing, and waste reduction are anticipated to have a positive impact on market growth. Furthermore, surge in productivity and increase in printing throughput offered by UV curable inks are anticipated to drive the growth of UV curable inks market during the forecast period.

However,  volatile raw material prices hinder the UV curable inks market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, increase in demand for ultraviolet inks in 3D printing for consumer goods, medical, and automotive applications is anticipated to drive the market growth during the forecast period.

An increase in demand for apparel from the fashion industry coupled with the growth of e-commerce platforms has led the textile sector to witness significant growth where UV curable ink is widely used for 3D printing.

Offset UV curable ink is a type of ink that is cured using ultraviolet (UV) light and is commonly used in offset printing, a traditional printing method used in the packaging industry for printing on paperboard, corrugated cardboard, and other substrates. This is anticipated to act as one of the key drivers responsible for the growth of the UV curable ink market.

Furthermore, an increase in disposable income has surged the number of potential car buyers in both developed and developing economies where UV-curable ink is widely used for printing display panels, knobs, upholstery, and thermoforming purposes. This is projected to propel the demand for UV-curable coatings in the growing automotive sector. However, factors such as volatility in raw material prices and the easy availability of substitutes may hamper the growth of the UV curable ink market during the forecast period.

However, volatility in raw material prices and availability of substitutes is expected to hinder the growth of the UV curable ink market. UV curable ink is made from several raw materials such as oligomers, monomers, pigments, additives and photoinitiators. Factors such as tight product availability and increase in fuel prices have led to rapid fluctuations in the price of raw materials used to manufacture UV-curable ink.

In addition, the easy availability of substitutes such as water-based ink, electron beam inkjet ink, and others are anticipated to hamper the expansion of the market. However, advantages such as superior performance, eco-friendliness, and faster Curable time make it a preferred choice for many applications. Additionally, its precise printing capabilities make it suitable for high-quality and accurate printing needs, which are crucial in many industries, including the automotive sector.

On the contrary, increase in awareness for eco-friendly products has surged the popularity of UV curable ink owing to its minimal or no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) levels.  Furthermore, UV curable ink requires less or no drying and provides operational flexibility. These factors increase preference of UV curable ink for coating applications in various end use sectors. This is anticipated to increase sales of UV curable ink in several end-use sectors; thus creating lucrative opportunities for the market.  The UV curable ink market is segmented on the basis of type, end use, and region.

On the basis of type, the market is categorized into offset ink, flexo Ink, screen printing, digital printing, inkjet, and others. On the basis of end use, it is divided into automobile, consumer goods, medical, publication & printing, and others. Region-wise, the market is studied across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

UV Curable Ink Market

The offset ink segment accounted for the largest share of the global UV curable ink market in terms of revenue, in 2021. UV printing is the same as conventional offset printing, but there are differences in the ink itself and the method of drying it. UV curable inks are used while using UV printing, which are designed to dry and cure when exposed to ultraviolet light sources inside the press. UV inks can be bolder and more vibrant than traditional offset inks, and sheets arrive in the delivery stacker immediately ready for the next operation. This provides cleaner lines and a reduced chance of potential smudging, leading to a more effective workflow and improved turnaround times.

UV Curable Ink Market

By end use, the publication & printing segment accounted for the largest share of revenue in 2021  owing to the high demand for unique and individualized consumer goods, with attractive colors that are fostered by the UV curable inks.
