Article: Printing inks projected to post 1.8% annual growth rate through 2013.(Business & Industry)

The demand for printing inks is expected to increase 1.8% annually through the year 2013 and reach a value of $4.8 billion, according to the study Printing Inks published by industry research firm the Freedonia Group, Inc. While downward pricing pressures will continue to limit the value growth, demand will benefit from the shift towards more environmentally friendly ink formulations and digital inks, as well as increased ink use in the packaging market. Additives and colorants are expected to experience growth in ink products, reflecting demand for better performing printing inks with brighter, more vibrant colors.
