From 2018 to 2022, the market grew at a sluggish CAGR of 3.9% as a result of the economic slowdown of 2020. Although, with the rebound in the global economy after the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021 and 2022, the demand for ceramic ink hiked to over 6.0%.
During the forecast period, the industry is expected to benefit from technological advancements in digital printing technologies, which are gaining significant traction in countries such as China, India, and the United States. With an increase in disposable income and rapid urbanization in these countries, large traffic is drawn to aesthetic interiors and decorative elements for infrastructure, and the trend of skyscrapers is on the rise. As a result, the abundant potential of the application of ceramic inks in the construction sector is expected to generate an absolute dollar opportunity of more than USD 1.5 billion between 2023 and 2033.
Increasing desire for aesthetic products coupled to rapid production with digital printing serves as a prime driving factor for the market
The market for ceramic inks is being propelled by the increasing desire for better aesthetics in homes, offices, and restaurants. The growth of infrastructure in developing countries is also a key driving force behind this demand. The rise in popularity of ceramic ink is attributed to its ability to offer more attractive designs than other ink materials.
The expansion of the market is also due to advancements in digital printing technology, which allows manufacturers to produce a wider variety of products in larger quantities at competitive prices. The increasing use of digital printing technology has also influenced the demand for ceramic ink.
A shift from inorganic to organic inks is having an additional impact on the market. Organic inks, derived from plants, are gaining popularity due to environmental concerns surrounding inorganic inks.
Lack of skilled workers to handle digital printing technology may retard the market growth in initial stages
A shortage of skilled workers to operate new digital and ceramic printing technologies is a foremost challenge facing the global ceramic ink market. Digital printing requires a deep understanding of the process, including the precise gas and temperature levels needed for high-quality images, as well as a high temperature for the printing adhesion process. A lack of skilled labor could limit the growth of the industry in the initial phases.
The transition from analog to digital technology in ceramic printing has been driven by the growing demand for ceramic inks. This shift, yet, can be costly as it requires significant investment in high-priced digital printers and ceramic-specific digital printers.
Decorative products to have high demand from end use segments
The global ceramic ink market is divided into two product categories – functional and decorative. The decorative segment is expected to hold a considerable market share due to the widespread use of these inks for decorative purposes in various industries. They come in a range of colors and can be utilized to produce decorative art and designs on ceramic items and tiles. With the construction industry's high demand for ceramic tiles, the decorative segment is expected to experience rapid growth during the forecast period.
Application in ceramic tiles to dominate the market
The use of ceramic tiles is expected to grow rapidly in the forecast period due to the increasing demand for decorative tiles in construction. These tiles are appreciated for their long-lasting color and durability, making them suitable for various applications. Ceramic tiles can display metallic designs, flowery patterns, and photographic images. Due to their wide range of uses, the ceramic tile segment is expected to account for a significant portion of the market during the forecast period.
Asian market to provide high growth opportunities for manufacturers
Rising infrastructure activities in East and South Asia are driving the growth of the market, with East Asia expected to lead the market during the forecast period. The demand for decorative tiles increased spending on home decoration, and the growth of commercial and industrial infrastructure is contributing to the increased demand for ceramic inks in the region.
The growing need for these inks in various applications like food containers and beverage bottles in several countries is also fueling the regional market. Countries in East Asia are transitioning from analog to digital printing to decrease inventory costs. China, being a leading country with a massive infrastructure, has the potential to drive market growth in the region.
The growth of the market, additionally, is being fueled by increasing government spending on infrastructure projects in South Asia. For example, following the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indian government allocated 35% of its capital to infrastructure projects, which has significantly increased the demand for ceramic ink in the country.
Growing preference for home decoration and aesthetic objects bringing new growth dimension to North American market
The North American market is expected to witness modest growth in the forecast period. The region has a thriving food and beverage industry and increasing spending on infrastructure projects, which are driving demand for ceramic inks. The USA is a major player accounting for over 80% of the North American market. The growth of the market in the country is being supported by the production of ceramic tiles and the growing trend of home renovation and decorative floors. In the forecast period, North America is expected to offer a nearly USD 300 million absolute dollar opportunity.
