Overview of the world ink market (below)

Reduced scale, reduced costs - Siegwerk ink company was originally a medium-sized home-ink production plant in Germany, and it carried out its own sheet-fed ink sales with fundamentally different organizations, and they were sold to peers. One of the competitors is Epple Druckfarben. At present, Siegwerk ink company's current countermeasures are: to reduce production capacity by 15%, reduce the cost of raw materials for purchase, through the purchase of common raw materials, with the best formula to achieve the purpose of increasing profits.
For such a medium and small-sized ink company, in the face of the slow economic recovery in Europe this year, it is not easy to take the lead to achieve the survival of the fittest.
The European ink industry is showing a wavy upward trend, but it is slowly growing. The European economy has begun to recover and is moving in a fast-moving direction. From the first quarter of 2002 to the second quarter of 2002, the average annual growth rate was 2%.
In the whole of Europe, ink production showed an increasing trend. The slower growth was in Germany, which was behind some of France and Italy. However, it is less than the growth rate of 3% in 2001 and actually only increased by 1%.
In the printing industry, the observation of changes in individual items between other countries and regions is basically the same as in the previous year, and the change is not great.
Packaging inks and printing process reform In addition to printing and publishing, packaging inks are an important growth area in Europe. The packaging market for food and medicine is undoubtedly much smaller than other industries affected by the recession. Because regardless of economic conditions, people's needs for eating, drinking, and taking drugs are relatively stable. The trend in the packaging market has confirmed that there will certainly be development after the economic downturn.
The packaging process is an ever-evolving technology that will continue to pose new challenges for ink makers. Technological processes have to be changed from one system to another and constantly changing. The development of new varieties in the ink series is to be reproduced and become an integral part of the normal packaging market business. And, let this part of the process technology become an important aspect of enhancing the competitive advantage of packaging.
After Siegwerk reorganized last year, it was full of vitality and the source of packaging ink was more concentrated. It is believed that the company may become a leader in technological innovation in this region.
For ink manufacturers, the packaging process is also a fringe science that can be continuously improved. According to the principle of continuous improvement, its invention belongs to a relatively new technology. Whoever has the right technical process can publish its innovative information online, which is beneficial to other packaging potential.
Opportunities for UV inks There are many process technologies currently packaged, and a large number are due to changes in flexo and flexible packaging - that is, short-lived (immediate printing). This provides more opportunities for UV inks and digital printing applications in packaging.
In all prints in Europe, UV inks are now forecast to show a rising trend. Last year's annual report showed that it accounted for about 6-7%. The development of packaging printing is the driving force for ink development. However, in turn, UV inks have promoted the development of a variety of different prints.
In Germany, other universal ink products do not show their advantages even if adjusted for price, and only UV inks can enter new markets.
The current trend is: To meet the needs of short-lived packaging, it is necessary to produce more high-quality UV inks to meet the needs of high-level flexo printing.
The European UV ink market is currently becoming a foothold for many ink manufacturers to try to gain full development.
Providing inexpensive UV inks is inevitably an effective way to reduce the price of UV ink prints spirally.
The inkjet market and digital printing new UV technology process can promote the market development in some printing fields, through the digital printing system throughout the development process. The problem is that the ink drying is slow, surface adhesion and other ink properties need to be improved, and the quality needs to be improved. This refers to the entire application of the digital printing process.
The results of research and development are not limited to the use of raw materials, but the chemicals (intermediates) used in the ink production process and their formulations must be considered for quick drying and drying during spraying. The newly developed UV ink products are mainly used in digital printing.
The British Pira International Consulting Company believes that the European Union’s sales of digital presses increased by 9.5% last year, and it is predicted that the overall EU printing market situation will be better in the future.
In 2002, the EU’s digital print sales growth rate was 12.5%, and the trend will be better next year, while the EU’s annual report shows that the growth rate may be slower than it actually is. It is predicted that by 2010, the EU’s sales in digital printing will reach 20 billion euros (ie, 18 billion US dollars), which will account for the third place in the entire European printing market. By that time, the market share of digital printing was 20%, more than gravure, and the outstanding advantages of plain printing accounted for 57% of the market share.
By 2010, digital printing will account for 43% of the entire printing market, with offset printing accounting for 37% and gravure printing for 5%.
