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.
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.
Market trends
- The industry is expected to benefit from technological developments in digital printing technologies in the future. Digital printing is gaining traction in large countries such as China, Brazil, and India.
- Ceramic decorators utilize digital printing to print short runs, decrease inventory costs, and efficiently meet changing needs of the ceramic inks industry. It also enables decorators to adapt fast to a rapid design transition in response to market demand to meet customer needs.
- Qualities such as great durability, resistance to wear, and color permanence have made ceramic tiles the most utilized common materials in flooring, and building projects.
- Floral patterns, metallic view, photographic picture generation, and other creative effects are also available in the ceramic market.
