A
new research report by Transparency Market Research offers a
comprehensive evaluation of the global UV
Curable Inks
market. The study,
titled “UV
Curable Inks Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth,
Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020”,
is available for sale on the firm’s website.
Ultraviolet
curing (UV curing) is a photochemical process wherein high intensity
UV light is used to cure or dry inks, adhesives or coatings. UV
curable inks speed up the printing process by reducing the drying
time while facilitating superior bonding. UV curable inks do not
employ the use of environmentally harmful solvents, additionally;
they do not cause loss of coating thickness and volume loss in final
prints. This causes a reduction in waste, pollutant emissions and
energy use. UV curable inks are being increasingly used in printing
applications as they offer higher productivity and increased printing
throughput.

Based
on product types, UV curable inks can be segmented as free radical
and cationic. Free radical UV curable inks are most widely used on a
commercial scale. UV curable inks do not get absorbed inside the
substrate and get dried very rapidly on exposure to UV light. This
translates into high pigment saturation and quick drying time.
Furthermore, energy costs, floor space and capital investments can be
saved as drying equipments are not necessary to bring about drying of
prints. UV curable inks can be used directly on rigid substrates
owing to which the necessity to print on flexible media is
eliminated, this reduces overall printing costs.
The
cost of UV curable inks is high however very little amount of ink is
required due to their low viscosity. This reduces ink consumption and
further drives down the printing costs. UV curable inks are used
extensively in polyethylene billboards as they offer exceptional
performance for outdoor signage. Additionally, they are used for 2D
fleet graphics which can be applied on curved or flat surfaces.
Retail POP (point of purchase) makes use of UV curable inks in order
to eliminate pigment odors in retail stores.
The
increasing demand of inks & pigments for printing applications is
the key driver for the UV curable inks market. UV curable inks impart
numerous features and functionalities which make them suited for
specialized printing needs. For instance, UV curable inks are used to
print directly on rigid surfaces and on polyethylene billboards. They
can also be used on metal, glass, ceramics, PVC, synthetic paper and
other substrates. The quick drying and high ink saturation feature of
UV curable inks makes them suited for these niche applications which
has been driving this market. This trend is expected to continue
within the forecast period. However, high cost of UV curable inks is
expected to restrain the growth of this market in the near future.
Technological advancements to produce UV curable inks for application
on acrylics and polypropylene are expected to open new areas of
opportunity for the UV curable inks market.
