“Increased demand for decorated ceramic tiles from the construction industry is driving the growth of the ceramic inks market across the globe.”

The ceramic inks market is projected to grow from USD 1.83 billion in 2017 to USD 2.59 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2017 to 2022. Ceramic inks are used in various applications such as ceramic tiles, glass printing, and food container printing, among others. The growth of the ceramic inks market can be attributed to the flourishing construction industry across the globe. Ceramic tiles are widely used in the construction industry to improve the aesthetic appeal of floors and walls of buildings. The demand for ceramic tiles is increasing across the globe due to rising number of residential and commercial construction projects being carried out in emerging economies. This is expected to drive the demand for ceramic tiles across the globe, thereby leading to the growth of the ceramic inks market.

“Increasing use of digital printing technology to decorate ceramic tiles is leading to the growth of the ceramic inks market across the globe.”

Digital printing technology is widely used for decorating ceramic tiles. This technology allows the manufacturers of ceramic tiles to mass produce ceramic tiles at low costs and at a rapid pace. This printing technology allows manufacturers of ceramic tiles to offer customized products to their customers in any quantity, irrespective of their prices. With the emergence of digital printing technology, the manufacturers of ceramic tiles are now able to offer a variety of designs to their customers. In addition, it also ensures zero wastage of ceramic tiles while printing, thereby reducing the loss for manufacturers of ceramic tiles.

“Increased demand for ceramic inks from the Asia Pacific region.”

The Asia Pacific ceramic inks market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. China, Vietnam, and India are the key markets for ceramic inks in the Asia Pacific region. The growth of the ceramic inks market in the Asia Pacific region can be attributed to the increased government spending and private sector investments being made to carry out infrastructural development projects in the region. This, in turn, leads to an increased demand for ceramic tiles from the Asia Pacific region, thereby fueling the growth of the ceramic inks market in the region.
