China's total ink output exceeded 3.5 million offset printing ink leader

The rapid development of China's ink manufacturing industry for the past 10 years is obvious to all. Related data shows that China's total ink output has grown from about 100,000 tons in 1995 to 3.5237 million tons in 2006, and the total output of ink is stable. The fourth place in the world follows the United States, Japan and Germany. The variety of domestic inks has been quite complete. The share of medium and high-end products has continued to expand, and the quality of some products has approached or reached the advanced level of similar international products. Due to the variety of inks. And many products and coatings have no obvious boundaries, such as radiation curing materials, printed conductive materials, printing consumables and printing coatings, a considerable number of products belong to the category of ink, plus a large number of foreign-funded enterprises in the past two years into the country to establish a number of ink production Base, therefore, the current statistics of ink data is not yet complete, and the actual output of ink should be greater than the existing data.

From the perspective of the status quo and development of China's ink application industry, publishing and commercial printing industry, packaging and printing industry, and circuit board manufacturing industry, offset ink still dominates. With a market share of around 45%, the demand for the gravure ink market is generally stable, and the letterpress printing ink market will be greatly reduced. However, the flexographic printing inks are on the rise, and screen printing inks are steadily rising. Digital printing and inkjet printing Ink will develop rapidly. With the increasing awareness of global environmental protection and demand, water-based inks, uV-cured inks, special anti-counterfeiting inks and other products will develop at an alarming rate.
