Which Factors Are Boosting Growth In The Oil Based Printing Inks Market?

An increased interest in eco-friendly inks is expected to bolster the oil-based printing ink market throughout the predicted timeline. A surge in this market is a response to the prohibition of several crucial chemicals - ingredients in paints, coatings, and printing inks - following an explosion and fire in China's Jiangsu Province. This incident has elevated the appeal of oil-based printing inks, which are a viable replacement for petroleum and chemical-based inks. These inks are derived from vegetable oils like soybean, sunflower, cottonseed, safflower, and canola. To put into context, data from the US Energy Information Administration in April 2024, a division of the U.S. Department of Energy, showed the average export of petroleum products in 2023 to be 6.1 million barrels per day; this denotes a 2.5% increment from the previous year. Consequently, this burgeoning interest in environmentally-friendly inks is anticipated to boost the oil-based printing ink market.
