Market demand and development trend of printing ink

with China becoming the fastest-growing economy in the Asia Pacific region, major ink manufacturers in the world have made major investment activities in China, such as Toyo ink, sakatainx, DIC, Flint ink, Donghua ink, etc

it is reported that DIC Group hopes to increase its share of the Asia Pacific ink market to 35% in the next five years by improving production efficiency and building new factories. The company expects to sell 100billion yen of printing ink in the Asia Pacific region in 2010. At present, DIC Group has a market share of 23% in the Asia Pacific region. The company regards China and India as the most important markets to achieve its growth goals. In this concept, the Chinese market will maintain an annual growth rate of 10% until 2010, so the company believes that the size of the Chinese market may be larger than that of the Japanese market. The ink factory of flint ink in Beijing has broken ground and is currently under construction as scheduled, which is expected to be completed by the end of 2003. Toyo ink announced that it would invest 5billion yen (about 345million yuan) to establish a new sales and manufacturing company in Shanghai Songjiang Industrial Park-- "However, Shanghai Toyo Ink Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and shin Kung monitor the production status of orders in Nangang through mobile terminals; for orders received, the company will provide a series of existing products of Toyo ink, including packaging materials. Another Japanese ink giant sakatainx Co., Ltd. has also set up a subsidiary company engaged in ink production and sales in Shanghai, which is called Sakata ink Shanghai Co., Ltd. note With a capital of 600million yen (about 40million yuan), it mainly produces liquid ink for packaging and gravure printing ink, with a planned annual output of 3600 tons. Sakatainx Co., Ltd. has also formulated a medium-term business plan. According to the plan, the company will increase its annual sales of box girder models with single transverse slope under the concentrated oil load in the Asia Pacific region from 6.7 billion yen in 2003 to 10 billion yen in 2006. Japanese T & ktoka ink will invest 2.1 billion yen (about 145million yuan) in the next five years to significantly improve the production capacity of offset printing ink and UV ink of its Chinese subsidiaries (HANGHUA ink Chemical Co., Ltd. and Donghua Guangzhou Ink Co., Ltd.). After the completion of this investment, the production capacity of its Chinese subsidiary will be increased by 90% to 30000 tons per year

in the past two years, China's printing ink market demand has increased rapidly. In 2002, the output has reached 250000 tons, becoming the world's fourth largest ink producer, accounting for about 6% of the world's total output. At present, the annual demand of China's printing ink market is about 5billion yuan, of which offset ink accounts for the largest share, accounting for 40 ~ 45% of the total market, and the growth rate in the past two years is close to 5%. China should develop high-end packaging products, increase the added value of products and meet the needs of domestic market and export. Therefore, the printing industry must consolidate and develop the existing offset printing production capacity, improve the gravure printing, silk screen printing, inkjet printing and curved surface printing capacity, develop flexographic printing and improve post press processing technology. It is worth noting that compared with gravure, flexographic printing has developed very rapidly in China. In the beer label market, flexographic printing has accounted for nearly 10% of the market share. Tianjin Toyo Ink Co., Ltd., Shaanxi new century printing materials Co., Ltd. and Jinan Luyang ink Chemical Co., Ltd. have been developed and developed to produce a large number of flexographic water-based ink series products and flexographic UV glazing oil and auxiliary materials series. The quality is basically stable and can be used for high-end color line flexographic printing

China's beer industry has developed rapidly. In 2000, China's beer production exceeded 22million tons, an increase of 25% over 1999. In 2001, the beer production was 22.74 million tons, and in 2002, the beer production reached 23.86 million tons, surpassing the United States for the first time to become the world's largest beer production country. The rapid growth of beer industry has led to the rapid growth of beer label printing. In 2000, the label printing demand of beer bottle bodies and bottlenecks reached 34billion, while the label printing demand of beer bottle caps reached 7billion. 30% of Tsingtao Beer uses bottle cap labels, and the development of aluminum foil bottle cap labels is also very rapid. In the beer label printing market, the share of solvent based ink exceeds 50%, and the market share of water-based ink combined with UV ink is close to 38%. In the printing method of beer labels, gravure printing still accounts for 46%, offset printing 35% and flexo printing 12%

in addition, flexographic ink is also used for printing corrugated boxes, plastic flexible packaging and tape. International ink companies and large domestic companies also develop and sell high-grade narrow format inks. In terms of price, the price of domestic products is lower than that of imported products. Hang Hua ink, Shaanxi new century printing materials, AkzoNobel ink (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. and Beijing iris Ink Co., Ltd. are the main suppliers of label printing flexographic ink. Xi'an Sanwei Printing Co., Ltd. is a narrow format flexographic printing company. At present, 60% of the ink of the company is supplied by Shaanxi new century printing materials Co., Ltd. and the other 40% is supplied by AkzoNobel ink (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. At present, China's ink industry should strengthen the research on pigments, resin lotion and additives for water-based flexographic inks, and formulate national and industrial standards for water-based inks. In China, environmental issues are becoming increasingly important, and printers are very interested in environmentally friendly inks

insiders pointed out that due to China's accession to the WTO, urbanization of rural population, competition and development of the media industry and preparation for the 2008 Olympic Games, China's economy will continue to grow at a high speed of 7-7.5% in the next few years, while the growth rate of the printing industry will be higher than the growth rate of GDP. It is estimated that the annual growth rate will be 8-10%, and the annual growth rate of the packaging industry will reach 12%. Lithographic ink: in the future, the market demand will increase steadily, but the increase will not be too large. It is estimated that the proportion of market demand is% and the growth rate of rotary offset printing ink will be faster. Relief ink: the proportion of market demand will decline, but the proportion of flexographic ink will continue to rise, which is the same as the development trend of the United States, Japan and other developed countries. Gravure ink: the total demand will be stable, but the plastic ink inner printing and surface printing are on the rise, because this field involves environmental protection, recycling and other issues, so it is different from the international trend. Perforated printing ink: the market demand tends to rise, mainly due to the increase in the use of printing ink for metal, glass and plastic wires, and the silk printing equipment has broken the backward situation of the original manual printing machine. Some regions have begun to introduce foreign advanced silk printing equipment, which has increased the use of silk printing ink. Special and special inks: the total demand is increasing day by day, such as jet printing ink, anti-counterfeiting ink, pearlescent ink, label ink, fluorescent ink and phosphorescent ink

based on a large number of experiments, it is stated that:
