Ceramic Inks Market Outlook -2028

Ceramic inks are essential carriers for fine-particle metallic oxide pigments (not raw colorants, but preferred stain powders) utilized in automatic application procedures. These materials can be thick and have a flow like printing ink depending on application technique. Glass printing, ceramic tile printing, and food container printing all require ceramic inks. These inks come in a variety of colors including black, brown, red, white, blue, and maroon. Ceramics, glass, metal, and tiles are all treated with these inks to improve their appearance. The glass industry typically uses ceramic inks to generate high-gloss gold and silver effects. Purchase costs of ceramic inks are high and firing process is energy-intensive and thus expensive.

Market scope and Structure Analysis

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

• COVID-19 is an unprecedented worldwide public health catastrophe that has touched practically every business and is expected to hinder industrial growth throughout the forecast period.
• Lockdown restrictions enacted by governments in several nations have hampered manufacturing activities. In addition, supply chain was interrupted and raw materials were in limited supply, which limited the market growth.
• Due to disturbances in everyday operations, demand from application sectors such as textile, ceramics, and glass has declined. However, in the post-lockdown period, the demand is expected to progressively increase, once everyday activities are resumed.

Top Impacting Factors

The global ceramic inks market is expected to be driven by rise in building projects in emerging countries, which increase demand for ornamental flooring and improve visual appeal of wall tiles. Moreover, growth in disposable income and consumer buying power for attractive flooring and wall tiles further boost product demand in the building and construction industry globally.

High cost of transitioning from analogue to digital technology is expected to act as a restraint limiting growth of the ceramic inks market.
