Eco Friendly Ink Market Analysis

The Eco-friendly Inks Market is expected to register a CAGR of greater than 4% during the forecast period.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the world market for eco-friendly inks. Lockdowns and business closures resulted in supply chain disruption. However, the market is projected to grow steadily, owing to increased food industry activities in 2021.

  • Over the short term, the growth in demand from the packaging industry and the growing concerns related to VOC emissions from conventional ink printing solutions are major factors driving the growth of the market studied.
  • However, lack of exposure to low VOC inks and their advantages is a key factor anticipated to restrain the growth of the target industry over the forecast period.
  • Nevertheless, increased attention toward the fashion industry and eco-friendly textile production is likely to create lucrative growth opportunities for the global market soon.
  • Asia-Pacific dominated the market across the world, with the largest consumption from major countries like China, India, and other countries.
