Continuous Inkjet Ink Market Scope and Segmentation  

Market Definition

The liquid or paste-type substance used in continuous inkjet (CIJ) printers is called continuous inkjet ink. The printer squirts tiny ink droplets onto paper, film, foil, and other surfaces to produce an image. This type of drop-on-demand (DOD) technology works by discharging regulated volumes of liquid onto substrates through print head nozzles. Continuous inkjet ink comes in black and white varieties for general-purpose printing applications. They have excellent print quality and work with a variety of substrates.

Continuous Inkjet Ink Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Eco-friendly inks help the inkjet market grow profitably

The manufacturers of continuous inkjet inks are increasingly using environmentally friendly inks. These inks can serve as an alternative to inks based on petroleum. Additionally, unlike petroleum-based inks, environmentally friendly continuous inkjet ink is now widely praised by market players for its eco-friendly characteristics. Also, conventional inks, such as dye-based inks containing the four heavy metals mercury, lead, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium, are prohibited under E.U. regulations. These heavy metals pollute the soil and water. Therefore, switching to eco-friendly continuous inkjet inks can spur market expansion.

• Continous inkjet's affordability can surge the market growth

Continuous inkjet printers remain the industry standard through their affordability, ability to produce a larger print size using the same amount of ink, and ability to help businesses scale up their printing operations. The global demand for continuous inkjet inks has been fuelled over time by the fact that continuous inkjet printers use less ink and can use a variety of inks depending on the material being printed on.

Opportunities

• The growing scale of large-format printing and an increasing emphasis on color quality

Increasing demand for large-format printing in the packaging, textile, and advertising industries and the rising adoption of UV-curable continuous inkjet inks in outdoor advertising are the key factors driving the growth of inkjet printers. Significant growth opportunities are being created for the players in developing economies by the rising demand for large-format printing involving the application of continuous inkjet inks. The emphasis on maintaining color consistency across batches has increased the use of continuous inkjet inks.

Restraints/Challenges

• Instability in raw materials can impede the growth rate

The market's dynamic nature makes it difficult to expand; since costs vary depending on the dependence and availability of raw materials, even a high likelihood of raw material fluctuations can obstruct growth. High operating costs and fluctuating raw material prices will slow down the rate of growth of the inkjet ink market. The presence of alternatives will further slow the market's rate of inkjet ink growth. The rate of growth of the inkjet ink market will be slowed down by growing environmental concerns regarding paper use.
