Printing Ink Industry Report, 2012 - 2015

Driven by the thriving printing industry, recent years have seen upward mobility in global printing ink industry. North America, Japan and Western Europe have kept the position as the world's major printing ink producers and consumers, with the respective consumption in 2012 making up 23%, 19% and 18%. However, Europe and Americas' growing saturated trend in the printing ink market means they are now losing out to Asian regions such as China and India. Presently, many transnational industrial magnates have accelerated their business sprawl in these emerging markets, including DIC, Flint, Toyo Ink, Sataka INX, Siegwerk, and Huber which had established branches in China as of late 2012. In 2012, both Sataka INX and DIC announced to build their own new printing ink factories in India.  In recent years, the printing ink industry of China also has seen rapid development. In 2005-2012, its printing ink output witnessed a great surge to 784,700 tons, with the CAGR of 14.
